Hygiene

Our professional hygiene services at Dental Care Dunedin feature thorough scale and polish cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel, and personalised coaching on brushing, flossing, and diet to prevent gum disease and cavities long-term.

Fillings

Our restorative dentistry uses strong, natural-looking white composite fillings to repair cavities, restore damaged teeth, and protect against further decay with durable, aesthetically pleasing results.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment saves your natural tooth by removing the infected pulp inside, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, then sealing them securely —all done comfortably with local anaesthetic in usually in a few visits, followed by a protective crown. It’s a reliable way to stop pain and prevent extraction.

Crown and Bridges

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that completely cover a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, size, and appearance, often after a root canal or large filling, using natural-looking materials like porcelain, zirconia or gold.

Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth between crowns fitted on the adjacent healthy teeth, preventing gaps from shifting your bite and maintaining your smile’s function and aesthetics

Extractions

Dental extractions are straightforward procedures to safely remove teeth that are decayed, infected, overcrowded, or damaged beyond repair.

Surgical extractions are used for impacted, broken, or wisdom teeth—where we make a small incision in the gum to expose the tooth, or sectioning it into pieces for safe removal.

Dentures (complete or partial)

Dentures are usually custom-made either in partial or full dentures to replace missing teeth—partials clip onto remaining natural teeth to fill gaps and prevent shifting, while full dentures restore an entire arch after extractions—crafted for a secure fit, natural appearance, and ease of daily removal for cleaning.

Teeth Whitening

Our whitening services offer two convenient options: take-home kits with custom trays and professional gel for gradual, comfortable brightening over 1–2 weeks, or fast in-chair treatments using high-strength gel. Both protect enamel and gums while delivering safe, natural-looking shade improvements tailored to your smile.

Implants

Our implant crown replaces missing teeth with a titanium implant post fused to your jawbone for a stable root, topped by a custom porcelain or zirconia crown attached via an abutment—offering natural looks, full chewing function, and bone preservation over a 3–6 month healing process.
