A captivating smile is a million dollar asset to the way others see you!! We offer several procedures to restore and correct your smile.
Porcelain crowns are necessary when teeth crack or break and should not be repaired with fillings, or for aesthetic reasons to change your smile, or to correct your bite. They have the same texture and translucency as a natural tooth, and are colour matched to your own teeth. We use the best laboratories and materials to ensure we re-create your beautiful smile. A porcelain bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
Porcelain veneers are wafer thin and are bonded to your own tooth with a special bonding material. David was one of the first Dentists in Australia to introduce and perfect Porcelain Veneers, and has 20 years experience in this field. Some of his smiles can be seen on your TV screen, and you would assume the wearer has a beautiful, natural smile!! Veneers can be used to correct misaligned teeth rather than orthodontics, correct discolouration, close gaps and conceal chips.
If you are missing teeth, we offer the latest in implant surgery to replace a tooth or teeth by placing a bio-compatible metal post into your jaw so that your bone grows around it to hold it in place. We then complete the picture with a porcelain crown so that your smile is as good as or better than new!
Tooth coloured restorations
We use the latest materials to ensure that your fillings and restorations will match your own teeth. Remember to visit us on a regular basis so that small problems don’t turn into big ones. It will save money in the long run!
Long gone are the days where black or dark coloured filling materials are accepted as good enough, we haven’t used these materials for years. At Bellevue Hill Dental we concentrate on beautiful, white teeth and bright healthy smiles.
Splints and mouthguards
The National Health and Medical Research Council recommends that players of all football codes and players involved in contact sport including rugby, soccer and basketball, should wear a mouthguard. The Dental Health and Research Foundation of Australia established how important it is for athletes to wear custom built mouthguards starting at their earliest days in sport. The Dental Profession and The Australian Dental Association strongly recommend professionally constructed mouthguards. Dr. Digges has many years experience making top of the range double laminated mouthguards for sports teams and school students alike. It’s your best insurance against potentially expensive treatment due to sports injury!
Do you wake up with an aching jaw, or suffer from
migraines, neck or shoulder pain? Or do you have
cracked, worn or sensitive teeth? You may be grinding
your teeth at night without knowing it. Often,
such symptoms can be alleviated through the use
of a dental splint – a specially designed,
easy to use mouthguard that you wear when asleep.
The Sydney Swans AFL team are testimony to the
good dental care and the excellent professional
standard of mouthguards that Dr Digges has made
for them over the years. Bellevue Hill Dental
are proud supporters of the Sydney Swans.
Teeth straightening
Your smile says a lot about you if you let it.
When you are uncomfortable with your teeth, it's
easy to hold back your smile. Fortunately, Invisalign's
advanced technology now lets you straighten your
teeth invisably - so you can express yourself
fully. Working with your dentist you simply switch
your custom designed aligners every two weeks,
and gradually a new smile will emerge - often
in about a year. Without altering your normal
activities. And because they're invisable, no
one has toknow you're in treatment. Speak to your
dentist about this treatment and other methods
of teeth straightening Bellevue Hill Dental provide.
Sleep Apnoea
And speaking of sleeping – if you suffer
from sleep apnoea, ask us about our sleep apnoea
devices to hold your airways open whilst you sleep.
Snoring
Often it not the snorers that benefits from these
devices as much as the partners and other family
members. Treat yourself or the snorer in your
household to a snoring plate (to wear at night)
and you will also be the beneficiary of a good
night sleep.
