A Practice Close to Prospect for Every Age Group

Wanting a dentist that can take on the family without shunting half the treatment elsewhere? Launceston Dentistry sees patients from their first childhood appointment through to rebuilding and replacing teeth in later years. Recommendations come from what your own teeth need rather than a standard package, and you'll understand the reasoning before anything gets locked in. New patients can arrange a first visit at any point.

Dental Services You Can Book

Treatment covers preventive, restorative and orthodontic needs:
General Dental

General Dentistry

The half-yearly appointment most patients build their care around. A professional clean shifts the tartar that has set along the gumline, and the examination that follows takes in teeth, gums and soft tissues so early changes get flagged rather than missed.

Dental Fillings

The standard fix for a tooth affected by decay or a small fracture. The damaged material is cleared out and the tooth rebuilt so it takes chewing pressure normally again, usually within one appointment when it's picked up early.

Dental Bridge

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Restorations for teeth beyond what a filling can hold together, and for gaps where a tooth has already gone. A crown caps the remaining tooth and takes the force off it, while a bridge spans a space using the neighbouring teeth as support.

Wisdom tooth removal icon

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Assessment and extraction where a wisdom tooth is causing pain, pressing against the tooth in front, or erupting at an angle. Imaging is taken first so the position of the roots and nerve is known before anything is planned.
Learn More
Invisalign

Invisalign

Clear removable aligners worn in a planned sequence, each set changed after a week or two as the teeth move. Progress is checked at review appointments, and how long treatment runs depends on the amount of movement required.
Learn more
Root canal

Root Canal Treatment

Treatment where infection has reached the pulp inside a tooth. The infected tissue is removed, the canal cleaned and sealed, and a crown often placed over the top afterwards, which may allow the tooth to be kept rather than taken out.

Information to Have Before You Arrive

A few practical points ahead of the appointment:
  • Most funds can be claimed against instantly through HICAPS, and the balance owing is confirmed before you settle up.
  • Staged payment arrangements can be organised, with the qualifying conditions and repayment terms explained by the team in advance.
  • Urgent cases are worked into the day where possible, rather than being deferred to the next available routine appointment.
  • What a treatment costs and how long it will run are both explained before you decide whether to proceed.
  • Parents and children can often be booked into adjoining appointments rather than on separate occasions.

Choosing How Often to Book

Six months suits the majority of adults, and it's the interval your dentist will normally recommend. It does vary with circumstances. Anyone with a history of gum disease, dry mouth from medication, or a grinding habit tends to be reviewed sooner, while consistently healthy gums and no recent decay may allow visits to be spaced out.

The interval matters because problems develop out of sight. Decay begins in the contact areas between teeth, beyond the reach of a brush and hidden from view, and gum disease can be causing bone loss well before there's any discomfort. Treatment suitability and results vary between individuals, and your dentist can advise what may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Travelling North to the City Centre

The practice sits on Wellington Street in the city centre, roughly ten minutes north. Most patients take Westbury Road across to Hobart Road and follow it up through South Launceston into the CBD grid. From the western streets, the Midland Highway onto Bathurst Street is the more direct approach. Buses run frequently along the Hobart Road corridor, and parking is available a short walk from the practice.
