7-Day Victoria Covid-19 Lockdown

7-Day Victoria Covid-19 Lockdown

Dental surgery operating restrictions have been put back into place across Victoria for the next 7 days.

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.

Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth Whitening Options

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.

Custom-fit Mouthguards

Custom-fit Mouthguards

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.
