Our team at BMB Dental Clinic in Mona Vale provides preventive dental care designed to support the health of your teeth and gums. This includes dental exams, professional cleans and other preventive measures based on your individual needs.

Professional dental cleans aim to remove plaque and calculus, also known as tartar, that can build up on teeth over time. This build-up is not always removable with regular brushing and flossing alone. If plaque and calculus are not removed, they may contribute to gum inflammation and other oral health concerns. Regular cleaning supports gum health and assists in maintaining oral hygiene. During your appointment, we carry out a thorough clean and may apply fluoride where appropriate to support enamel strength.
With regular check-ups, our knowledgeable dental team can watch for developing problems with the patient's oral health, including dental decay. Dental decay begins with decalcification of the tooth's enamel, which often has an origin in acid produced by bacteria.
Decalcification means that the enamel loses calcium, which makes it porous. When decay is in this stage, it appears as a white spot on the tooth. If it's caught early on, we can sometimes restore the calcium and fluoride ions to the spot, and it will return to normal. However, if the spot has already begun to turn dark, we may be able to stop its progress, but probably won't have the ability to reverse the dark stain.
Once the decay progresses through the enamel and reaches the inner layer known as the dentin, the dentist must remove the decay and treat the cavity with a filling.
If the cavity goes untreated and progresses even further, it will eventually reach the nerve in the tooth's pulp chamber. Opening the pulp chamber will allow bacteria to enter, leading to infection. At that point, the only option for saving the tooth is root canal treatment.
We explain this to illustrate the importance of regular check-ups. When we catch problems early on, we can often treat them conservatively and prevent the need for invasive dental work.
With routine visits, we can also help patients manage and prevent gum disease and check for oral cancer to provide an early diagnosis.
Typically, a dental check-up, professional teeth cleaning and two dental x-rays cost around $250 and $340.
*Please note that prices may vary depending on the complexity of your check and clean. Your final cost may fall outside the average pricing.

Following a consistent home care routine and visiting your Mona Vale dentist every six months for professional teeth cleans and checks are the best ways to protect your teeth from tooth decay and cavities.
If your Mona Vale dentist detects tooth decay, it's crucial to address it promptly. Ignoring tooth decay can lead to more severe issues, such as the decay spreading to the tooth's nerve, potentially causing an infection.
Early detection allows for minimally invasive treatments like dental fillings, which can effectively halt the decay.

Our skilled dental team keep digital records for each patient to make their dental care more effective and their diagnoses and treatments more accurate. Your digital records may include images captured by an intraoral camera during an exam, x-rays, digital impressions and other records that help us track your dental situation.
With excellent record-keeping, we can improve our patients' dental experience, helping them keep an eye on their oral health over the course of months and years. We can provide relevant information for insurance claims and others who may need records of your dental services.
Digital sensors are an excellent alternative to traditional digital x-rays for some patients. With this type of x-ray, the patient can stay comfortably in the dental chair while the x-rays are taken. The dentist or dental professional places the compact digital sensor comfortably in the patient's mouth and quickly takes a set of high-quality x-rays.
These x-rays are high-resolution, and we can easily save them to your digital records for further examination. This type of x-ray also emits much lower radiation levels than former x-ray methods, making it desirable for many patients.
A dentist can use an intraoral camera during a patient's exam to show the patient exactly what he or she sees in their mouth, which can make understanding a diagnosis easier. The dentist may also use the intraoral camera to explain a procedure by showing you exactly where they'll be performing dental work.
We can capture high-quality images with the intraoral camera during the exam, which we can track the document developing problems and for your digital records.
