Best for you
​
Our fresh approach to general dentistry…
​
Sedation
​
We understand that visiting the dentist can be a difficult experience, especially if you are nervous about your treatment or anxious about the thought of experiencing pain. Fortunately, dental care is making massive leaps and bounds towards genuinely pain-free treatment, and we use a number of different techniques and technologies that strive towards painless dentistry and minimise any discomfort you may feel.
​
For your added peace of mind, we can also arrange for you to be sedated during your appointment. By administering a small amount of sedative, usually into the back of the hand, we can ensure that you remain conscious but calm throughout your treatment. If you opt for sedation, you may find that you have little or no memory of your treatment afterwards. You will be continuously monitored while you are under sedation.
​
If you are a nervous patient or experience dental phobia of any kind, please know that there’s no need for you to suffer in silence. You are not alone. Sometimes it can make the world of difference to discuss your treatment in advance, to understand what is happening and why, but, for many patients, sedation can positively transform the experience of going to the dentist. By talking through your concerns, we can help find the best option for managing your anxiety.
​
Mercury-free fillings
​
As a ‘green practice’, Fresh Dental Care is a mercury-free zone because we believe that amalgams containing mercury should not be placed in the mouth or dispersed into the environment.
​
Instead, we only use the highest quality tooth coloured composite fillings and ceramic restorations. These materials offer a better aesthetic, giving you the freshest, whitest, healthiest-looking smile possible. White composite fillings are also less likely to cause sensitivity when you consume hot or cold food and drinks, and they can be perfectly colour-matched to your surrounding teeth to give a natural-looking finish.
