FAQ

Pain Free Dental Procedures

How often should I visit the dentist?

Every individual is different and so are their teeth. It is advised to have a regular check-up and clean every 6 months to ensure the best results each trip, and to prevent any major dental issues down the track. However, there are other factors to consider when making your appointments. For example, smokers or diabetics will need to make more frequent appointments. It is best to ask your dentist at your next appointment.

Are you open on weekends?

We are open 1 Saturday per month.

What pain-free injection methods are available?

We have invested in a clinically approved system, which provides you with a pain free treatment; Calajet is our system we use.

How safe are the systems used at Pain Free Dentistry?

Calajet:
Calajet is a computer controlled local anesthesia system that aims to provide pain-free dental injections by using a computer to control the flow rate of the anesthetic, delivering it slowly and gently.

It makes the injection less uncomfortable by preventing the sharp pain caused by a fast injection and the subsequent tissue swelling.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is any dental procedure that improves the appearance of your teeth, your smile, even your self-esteem and confidence. There are some minimally invasive approaches to fix stained teeth, dark teeth, chipped, crooked or even replacing missing teeth. Nowadays, cosmetic dentistry can address functional and aesthetic patient concerns simultaneously.

What are dental implants used for?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone. It is fabricated from a very strong, biocompatible material that is buried in the bone and left undisturbed under the gum tissue. It is left uncovered and connected to a small metal post that secures and supports it while the bone grows and bonds to the implant. A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth your dentist can give you and allow for the replacement of a missing tooth without modifying adjacent teeth.

Do you have a payment plan?

We use a loan company called Zip Money, offering services specifically designated for clients having dental and orthodontic treatments. It provides finance methods that work for you. Zip Money is ideal for procedures not covered by insurance or where there is a “gap” between insurance cover and the cost of the treatment.

What are All-on-4 dental implants, and how do they work?

All-on-4 dental implants are a revolutionary solution for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced. Instead of placing individual implants for each missing tooth, this technique uses just four strategically positioned implants to support a complete set of prosthetic teeth. The implants are angled to maximize bone contact, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. This approach offers faster recovery, improved stability, and a natural-looking smile – all in a single procedure.

What causes teeth to crack?

Teeth can crack due to trauma, grinding, clenching or decay. Depending on the size of the crack, it is possible for the tooth to repair itself. Minimal fractures on the outer layer of the tooth that does not cause any pain can heal over time. It’s always recommended you seek professional dental advice from your dentist if you have a cracked tooth.

What happens if I don’t get my teeth cleaned?

If you don’t maintain good oral hygiene or receive regular teeth cleaning, your teeth will accumulate plaque. This can cause cavities, tooth decay, discolouration, bad breath and gum disease. Leaving these problems untreated can lead to extensive dental treatments or even permanent tooth loss.
