Cosmetic Dentistry

CREATE THE PERFECT SMILE 

Teeth Whitening

For whitening of dark, dull, or stained teeth, take-home teeth whitening may be the simplest solution. A whitening kit is made by taking mould of your teeth, a soft clear tray is then fabricated. This tray is filled with a bleaching gel and placed directly over the teeth in the mouth. This gel filled tray can be worn for several hours during the day or worn at night while you sleep. Results can be seen daily. To attain maximum results, most patients must wear the bleaching tray for 4 days.

Composite Bonding

When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding makes a great tooth coloured filling for small cavities and broken or chipped surfaces. It can also be used to close spaces between teeth. Additionally, bonding is used to cover the entire surface of a tooth to change its colour and shape. Bonding may not be strong enough, aesthetic enough, or durable enough for certain individual situations. When these problems occur the next choice would be porcelain laminate veneers.

Crooked, Discoloured or Worn teeth

Sometimes a little bit of TLC can transform your smile, and our expert dentists can recommend solutions for every mouth. Crooked discoloured or worn teeth can be bought back to their former glory using composite bonding or veneers, and spaces between the teeth can be fixed painlessly with braces. Gummy Smiles and missing teeth can be treated with anti wrinkle injections or gum surgery, and missing teeth or old fillings can benefit from bridges, crowns or implants.

Porcelain Veneers and Crowns

With the cost of dental veneers driven so low (thanks to technological innovations) more people are now looking at them as a viable alternate to their dental issues. Dental Veneers are ceramic (usually Porcelain) or other composite resin-based ultra-thin shells, which are affixed onto the front of the patients’ teeth. The simplicity of the procedure involved means that it is not only cheap to undergo, but requires from little to no anesthesia to perform.

Orthodontics

SIMPLY STUNNING SMILES

Orthodontics

Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. Orthodontic problems can contribute to conditions like tooth decay, gum disease,tooth loss, abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function, excessive stress and misalignment of the jaw joints, which can result in chronic headaches or pain in the face or neck.

Orthodontic treatment can improve your dental health and change your facial profile for the better providing you with higher self-esteem feeling more self-confident. Imagine how your child’s confidence can carried through to adulthood. Orthodontics is straightening the teeth within the arch, to level and align them. This is usually done with braces or now with Invisalign. Habits such as incorrect swallowing, tongue thrusting, thumb sucking, mouth breathing can cause poor development of the jaws and therefore poor facial appearance and crooked teeth.

Orthopaedics is guiding the growth of the developing jaws to obtain the best facial appearance and smile. This involves using plates to expand and develop the arches.

Invisalign

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and Dr. Lisa Chong, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.

If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Invisalign is the best way to improve your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life.

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is the perfect solution for crowding or protrusion of the front teeth.It is really fast, very safe, gentle  and great value compared to other systems. With the patented Inman Aligner, your front teeth can be gently guided to an ideal position in a matter of weeks. Most cases complete in 6-16 weeks and because it's removable you can take it out to fit with your lifestyle.

Rapid Smiles

Rapid Smiles is another technique that offers you a minimally invasive and inexpensive solution that is fast and permanent. Using our state of the art orthodontic braces Rapid Smiles can straighten your misaligned or crooked teeth in as little as 10 to 12 weeks! Rapid smiles can perform most orthodontic cases and provide a faster treatment time.

Clear Braces

When people think of braces, they remember they mouthfuls of metal that kids all seemed to have. Orthodontics has evolved a lot since then, and people now wear clear brackets that are glued to the front of each tooth (a big improvement!) Those old-fashioned bands are usually reserved for molars or teeth with fillings that spill to the outside surface of a tooth. Clear braces tend to be less expensive than other types of braces. In addition, you can make them colourful with ligatures that come on a rainbow of colours.

Damon Braces

Using the Damon System, treatment time is typically shorter when compared to conventional braces, and with fewer appointments. Damon System braces use a unique slide mechanism that minimises friction and reduces pressure on your teeth, allowing them to move ‘passively’ and more comfortably into their correct positions.  This revolutionary new approach ensures greater comfort during treatment. Elastics and active clips can act like parking brakes, resulting in friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable with more frequent visits to change elastics.

Myobrace

The Myobrace System is based on over 20 years of experience in correcting orthodontic problems without the need for braces. The Myobrace appliances which make up this system have the proven dual function of correcting the oral habits that cause poor dental development (known as myofunctional habits), while also providing light forces to align the teeth into their natural position. This technique is now used by Orthodontists and Dentists in more than 100 countries throughout the world.

FUNCTIONAL JAW ORTHOPAEDICS

Functional Jaw Orthopaedics is the art of using Removable or Fixed appliances during the child’s growth phase to address malocclusions which have a skeletal basis. These appliances influence the growth of the developing facial and jaw bones when they have the potential for rapid growth. All of these issues can be treated before the permanent teeth erupt and can prevent the use of fixed orthodontics, such as braces, in the future.

Lingual braces

 Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore ‘invisible’ when you smile. They are custom-designed for each individual patients so they're comfortable. Lingual braces are one of the most cosmetically appealing treatment types, making them a great option for people in business, actors, models or anyone who likes to smile! Our 2 dentists are experienced in the lingual appliance.

Dental Implants

PAIN FREE PERMANENT PERFECTION

A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the upper or lower jaw. It will bond with the bone over time and thus serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth.

To obtain a specific fee estimate, it is necessary to have our implant dentist examine your mouth. After a thorough diagnostic examination, our dentist will recommend the treatment that is best for you.

Simplant

Simplant is a complete treatment concept for diagnostics, prosthetic-driven planning and guided implant surgery for all indications - from a sing|e missing tooth to a fully edentulous jaw.  At Pain Free Dentist, we use state of the art software to ensure safe and predictable treatment. Implants are 99% successful compare to retreatment of root canal which is only 33%. With this software surgery is minimal and healing is predictable.

Bone Grafts

The success of a dental implant, it's ability to support a dental restoration, is very much dependent upon how much bone is available in the site where the implant is placed. There are lots of things that affect the bone volume including things like periodontal disease, trauma and infections and it is not unusual to open up a site in the mouth for implant placement and find out that some of the critical supporting bone is missing. No problem.... We have great techniques available to us to replace missing bone. We can increase the height of bone and the width of bone. We can fill in anatomical voids in bone thereby creating new bone and we can fill in all sorts of defects that develop when teeth are lost. We can even use grafting techniques to prevent the loss of bone in circumstances where bone would normally be lost like the extraction of a tooth. 

Types of Bone Grafts

There are many ways in which bone grafting can be done. Very often, we can use "bone in a bottle" to do bone grafting for dental implants. This bone is specially prepared and used to get your own bone to grow into the repair site. It is very effective and very safe. Sometimes synthetic materials can be used to stimulate bone formation and sometimes we even use factors from your own blood to accelerate and promote bone formation in graft areas.

Sometimes it is as simple as collecting bone when preparing an implant site and then reusing the bone for grafting purposes. Whenever we can use your own bone for repairs or additions, we will get the best results. In extreme cases, bone can be harvested from areas outside the mouth. The most common area is the hip. Needless to say, when this type of bone graft is done, everyone has to be fully prepared and you would usually find yourself in a hospital setting with a physician actually removing the bone from your hip. Very often, bone grafting is done in combination with what dentistry refers to as a "Barrier Membrane Technique".

Membranes made out of special materials are placed over bone graft sites to keep out the types of soft tissue cells we do not want and promote the growth and migration of cells which will turn into normal, healthy bone. These membranes are very successful and are used quite a bit these days to promote sound bone formation. The membranes are usually removed at a later date, but sometimes they can be resorbed by the body and disappear all on their own. In addition, it is not uncommon to use "screws" and "tacks" to secure membranes and bone grafts at an implant site. Sometimes these pieces will also have to be removed at a later date, but rest assured that all of these components and grafting materials are safe and effective and their use has gone a long way in increasing the success rates of dental implants. 

The Sinus Lift

Sometimes the sinus are enlarged and intrude on areas where we want to place dental implants. We cannot place a dental implant into the sinus because we would just be placing it into an air cavity and nothing would hold it into place (although, very often, implants that are placed securely into solid bone will protrude a small way into the sinus) so when we encounter this problem, we place bone or bone growth stimulating material into the sinus.

This procedure really only affects the maxillary sinuses which are located just over the molar teeth in the upper jaw. There are no sinuses in the lower jaw. When the maxillary sinus prevents the placement of an implant, we merely open up the side of the sinus and raise the bottom portion of the sinus so it will fill in with bone. We can then go back several months later and place our dental implants in solid bone.

Sometimes, there is enough bone to place the implants at the same time that you raise the floor of the sinus. This will save time. There are some more conservative ways to grow bone in the sinus. We just raise the floor of the sinus right over where we are placing an implant. This can be done without actually opening the sinus and healing and implant integration will then proceed as if the sinus was not in the way. Sinus lifts of all types have a high success rate and are commonly used today for promoting dental implant procedures.

Single Tooth Implant

Missing tooth surrounded by very healthy teeth have unique demands. The challenge is to replace your now missing tooth for both appearance and function, without harming your remaining teeth or gum tissue.

Several Teeth Implant

Having dental implants replacing your teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want. It will also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.

Restoring naturally beautiful, confident smiles means more than just restoring teeth, it means restoring and improving your quality of life. With dental implants, chewing and speech are restored or improved, and a permanent natural appearance is achieved. Whether you are missing few or all of your teeth, implants allow you to enjoy your favorite foods and have the confidence you desire for an active professional and social life.

Naturally, there are many benefits of multiple teeth replacement with dental implants. The benefits of implant treatment include improved appearance and self-esteem as well the enhanced ability to chew and enjoy your food, and often protection of your remaining teeth and jawbone. 

All Teeth Missing

Before dental implants, there were no permanent solution available for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to replace a full jaw with dental implants and a fixed bridge that results in a permanent, stable and high aesthetic solution.

• Lets you eat and function like having natural teeth

• A solid, stable solution that will serve you for life

• Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss

Benefits of a fixed porcelain bridge on implants, when all teeth are missing or in such condition that they need to be replaced, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is your best permanent solution. The treatment procedure and number of visits is largely dependent on the specific conditions. With some modern esthetic dentistry treatments the entire treatment can take only 3-4 patient visits. Using a conventional treatment approach, the treatment can take 8-10 visits. Most clients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.

All on Four

With the All on 4 procedure you can receive implants and a full set of non-removable replacement teeth in 1 – 3 days. All on 4 is a cost effective, advanced technique whereby a whole arch of teeth is supported by only 4 implants. This revolutionary treatment concept can be used in either the upper or lower jaw to support immediate fixed replacement teeth.

Gum Grafting

In this technique, a very thin layer of skin is taken from the palate, or other sites, in which the tissues are identical to gum tissue. Grafts are taken and shaped from the donor site and transplanted to the recipient site to create new gum tissue; both sites will heal in a very predictable and uneventful manner. The free gingival graft is so-called because it is “freed” from the donor site completely.

TMJ Dysfunction

FEEL GOOD, LOOK GOOD

TMJ Dysfunction

TMJ Dysfunction/disorder has many different causes. Factors such as missing teeth, grinding, clenching from stress, emotional physical stress and tension to the jaw muscles, injuries such as fractures or dislocations of the TMJ, occlusion issues from incorrect shaped teeth from either fillings, crowns or your natural mis-shaped teeth, bite issues. 

There is no formula to say that one treatment is best for your case, as each individual differs in the causes of their TMJ pain, therefore a personalised approach towards the treatment plan is essential in management of the TMJ dysfunction. 

Treatment can range from: 

• Occlusion splint therapy to relieve pressure off the joint/teeth 


• Modified diet to only eat soft food and do not favour on one side of the mouth 


• Avoid extreme jaw movement such as yawning


• Physiotherapy


• Stress management 


• Medication 


• Orthodontic treatment to correct your bite 


• Anti-wrinkle injections to stop clenching and relax jaw muscle 


• Surgery 


• Specialist management of other discipline 

Treatment may also require all or a combination of the above to achieve the best results. 

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Muscle relaxant treatment is now available at Pain Free Dentist Sydney for Jaw Tension and TMJ. Muscle relaxant therapy is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain. When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort. The injection relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients. The injections often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding, and, in cases of severe stress even minimize lock jaw.

Anti-wrinkle injections are made from a natural, purified protein in sterile laboratory conditions. Anti-wrinkle injections are strategically injected into specific wrinkle-causing muscles, creating an improved appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections relax the underlying muscles thereby smoothing overlying skin and causing lines and wrinkles to soften and prevents them from deepening and new lines developing in the treated area.

In addition to reducing wrinkles, another great benefit of injectable muscle relaxant treatments is the lift that they give to your face; taking away the appearance of tiredness and creating a more youthful, refreshed you. Headaches caused by muscle tension is relieved from these injections . Teeth clenching and grinding is also eliminated. Reducing the incident of broken crowns and fillings from bruxism and clenching.

Injections & TMJ

Located on both sides of the head at the point where the jawbone meets the skull, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is used during talking, eating, swallowing, and other everyday activities. If this joint becomes displaced or is overworked through excessive teeth grinding, a person may suffer severe tension headaches, as well as sharp pain in the jaw. These injections relieves jaw tension by making muscles unable to engage in the powerful, often unconscious movement of the jaw that produces headaches and pain.

Gum Disease

GET YOUR GUMS LOOKING GREAT

The Foundation For A Great Smile

Gum disease affects most people at some time during their life. It is usually caused by a build-up of plaque on teeth. There are two main stages of gum disease, Gingivitis and Periodontitis. 

Gingivitis is early gum disease and occurs when dental plaque builds up on teeth, particularly where the gum joins the tooth. Periodontitis is an advanced gum disease that may occur if gingivitis is not treated. The gum margin, the part of the gum that seals to the tooth, is weakened and spaces form between the tooth and the gum. These spaces are called ‘periodontal pockets.’ Bacteria become trapped in these pockets causing further inflammation (redness and swelling).
