Over the Easter long weekend our dental surgery will be closed from Good Friday (29^th March 2024) and reopen on Easter Tuesday 2^nd April at 8:30am.

According to the Australian Dental Association (ADA), sports related injuries account for almost 40 per cent of dental injuries, yet only 36 per cent of Australians wear a mouthguard when playing contact sport.

It is not only obvious contact sports like football, rugby, hockey and boxing that can lead to serious dental injuries. Even sports such as cricket, basketball, netball, skateboarding and soccer, carry a risk of accidental collision, which can cause damage to the teeth and mouth.

A professionally fitted mouthguard is vital to protect your teeth against the danger that can be sustained as a result of a blow or heavy contact. A custom-fitted sports mouthguard that fits seamlessly over your unique bite pattern, will ensure a more comfortable feel, better protection and a secure fit that won’t come off when you need it the most — during contact or high-impact situations.

Don’t wait until you suffer major dental trauma to think about prevention!

Call us today on (03) 5134 1311 to schedule an appointment for your custom-fitted mouthguard.

Dr Caprara Dental Surgery will be taking a short break for the Festive Season. Our dental surgery will close the afternoon of Friday 22^nd December and re-open Tuesday 2^nd January 2024 at 8:30am.

We would like to thank all our patients for your continued and valued support in 2023.

The team at Dr Caprara Dental Surgery wish all our patients and their loved ones a Wonderful Christmas and hope the New Year brings good health and happiness to you and your families.

We look forward to seeing your merry and bright smiles in 2024!

It is Dental Health Week from Monday 7^th to Sunday 13^th August.

This year for Dental Health Week, the Australian Dental Association is helping everyone understand that your MIND and your BODY and your MOUTH are all connected.

If you haven’t had a dental check-up in a while, now is the time to schedule an appointment.

Contact our helpful staff on 03 5134 1311 to make a booking.

Remember Prevention is better than cure!

The Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) provides $1,052 of Medicare funded dental treatment over a two-year calendar period for eligible children.

Check-ups, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings and extractions are among the services provided.

Children whose parents hold a Health Care Card or who receive an eligible Centrelink payment may be eligible for the CDBS. All parents can check their eligibility for the CDBS via the Services Australia website.

Good health starts with what you put in your mouth!

Poor oral health can not only ruin your teeth, but lead to various other chronic and life-threatening conditions, as well as unnecessary pain, suffering and potentially expensive treatment.

School holidays can be the perfect time to book your child in for a general dental check-up. You can call our helpful staff on (03) 5134 1311 to see if your child is eligible under the CDBS.

Over the Easter long weekend our dental surgery will be closed from Good Friday (7^th April 2023) and reopen on Easter Tuesday 11^th April at 8:30am.

The team at Dr Caprara Dental Surgery wish all our patients and their families a safe and enjoyable Easter time.

According to the Australian Dental Association (ADA), sports related injuries account for almost 40 per cent of dental injuries, yet only 36 per cent of Australians wear a mouthguard when playing contact sport.

Most winter sports are associated with physical contact- some quite excessive. Too often we have seen a number of trauma patients who have not been wearing mouthguards while engaging in contact sport. The results can sometimes be devastating.

A customised well fitted mouthguard is an essential prerequisite for anyone involved in any contact sport. If you’re not wearing a mouthguard, or if you have an old poorly fitting one, now is the time to make an appointment to have a customised mouthguard constructed. 

Don’t wait until you suffer major dental trauma to think about prevention!

Call us today on (03) 5134 1311 to schedule an appointment for your custom-fitted mouthguard.
