With the end of 2021 fast approaching there is limited time remaining for the construction of Dentures or other dental Oral Appliances before Christmas.

A number of dental laboratories have advised that they will commence closing mid-late December, and therefore they cannot guarantee completion before Christmas for any dental work not received by 10^th December 2021.  That is just over 3 weeks away! 

If your desire was to have that new Denture in time for Christmas then you need to consider scheduling your dental appointment as soon as possible. These timeframes are also important for any patient who hopes to have their dental Crown, Porcelain Veneer or Splint completed prior to Christmas.

You can call our surgery on (03) 5134 1311 and speak with our friendly staff in order to schedule your pre-Christmas dental needs.

Our dental surgery will be closed for the AFL grand final public holiday this Friday 24th September 2021.

Our dental surgery will continue to remain open whilst adhering to the guidelines and restrictions set in place by the relevant authorities. We will keep our patients updated should there be any further change.

As well as employing standard precautions to prevent cross infection, we also continue to extensively use ozone in the dental surgery as an antimicrobial agent.

Our friendly staff can provide guidance when scheduling your appointment, if a restriction applies in meeting your individual need.  

From the team at Dr Caprara Dental Surgery, we ask all our patients and their loved ones to stay safe and wish you all good health.

It’s important you get your teeth and gums checked for disease by a dentist before undergoing any teeth whitening procedure. The dental assessment will both confirm your suitability for teeth whitening and the best treatment option for you.

Where a patient’s teeth are deemed suitable for teeth whitening, our dental surgery offers customised options.

In-chair teeth whitening is not suitable for all patients hence a dental check-up is always the first step. If in-chair teeth whitening is deemed suitable for you, the appropriate treatment package is agreed with the dentist. Our dental surgery offers different options, taking into account factors such as patient age.

Where a supervised take-home whitening treatment is deemed suitable for the patient, a customised treatment package is arranged with the dentist.

An important part of any teeth whitening process is well-fitting teeth trays in order to apply the whitening agent. We offer the construction of customised teeth bleaching trays as part of your package.

Some cosmetic treatments may be claimable through your health fund. We recommend you speak to your health fund prior to commencing your treatment in order to confirm your rebate eligibility.

You can call our helpful staff on (03) 5134 1311 to book an appointment for your dental assessment.

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.
