Launceston Dentistry
Family and cosmetic dentistry for Riverside patients
Dental Implants
Six months works for the majority of adults, and that's what your dentist will generally recommend. It isn't fixed, though. Anyone with a history of gum disease, a dry mouth from medication, or a clenching habit tends to be reviewed sooner, while stable gums and no recent decay may allow visits to be spaced further apart.
Sticking to a schedule matters because dental problems build without obvious signs. Decay starts in the contact areas between teeth, where a brush can't reach and where you won't spot it yourself, and gum disease can be causing bone loss before there's any discomfort. Treatment suitability and results vary between individuals, and your dentist can advise what may be appropriate for your circumstances.
The practice is on Wellington Street in the city centre, about five to ten minutes away. Most patients follow the West Tamar Highway south, cross the Paterson Bridge, and continue as York Street into the CBD grid before turning onto Wellington Street. It's a straightforward run with few turns once you're on the highway. Bus services cover the same corridor regularly, and parking is available close to the practice.
