What are my options to replace a missing tooth?

You have three main options to replace your missing teeth. These include: Dental Implants: These involve planting a titanium rod in the gum which improves bone strength. A crown can then be fitted on the rod. This the closest alternative to an original tooth. Fixed Bridges: These are a row of teeth fixed alongside teeth that are heavily filled. They improve the function and appearance of the tooth. Removable Prostheses; This is another option and is the cheapest alternative to replace a missing tooth.

How can you fix my crooked teeth?

If you have crooked teeth, you have the option of Orthodontic braces. These involve a metal brace which shifts the teeth back into position over a period of 1 – 2 years. You now also have the option of Invislaign, which is a cutting edge alternative that uses a clear mould that is changed every two weeks to align your smile. No one will even know you have braces!

How can I improve the appearance of my discoloured teeth?

If you have a dull or discoloured smile, you can try our teeth whitening options. The procedure involves removing stains from the surface of the teeth with the use of whitening bleach. At BlueSpaDental we use a close to neutral PH bleach so there is no harm to the tooth enamel. We have two whitening options to choose from. Both methods are safe, pain-free and effective. One appointment will have your teeth and confidence beaming!

Am I caring for my teeth correctly?

The team at BlueSpaDental recommends that our patients cut down on sweet food, floss after meals and brush after each meal.

Let your brush do the work, no need to apply too much pressure.

What can Resin Bonding do for my teeth?

Resin Bonding can fix chips in your teeth and can also fill gaps and correct crooked teeth. Resin is a pliable material that is set by a high-intensity light and polished to appear like a natural tooth. A selection of colours is available to match your original tooth.

Why would I need a Crown or Bridge?

If you have a tooth that is cracked beyond repair and cannot be filled by a filling you may need a crown to fit over your original tooth. Crowns fit on the tooth snugly and look natural once applied. If you have more than one tooth missing, bridges can fill the space of up to four teeth.

General Dentistry

Blue Spa General Dentistry is focused on examining the health of your teeth, gum and mouth and preventing dental problems that can potentially develop into more serious conditions that require more complex dental treatments such as tooth filling, broken or loosen teeth and preventing tooth decay that may lead to the unwanted tooth extraction.

Dental and Oral Examination is core to our dentistry practice as it allows us to diagnose any problems in its early stages and perform whatever dental procedures required to treat the issue. At the same time, a dental examination allows us to tailor a regular periodical check to ensure that your teeth and mouth remain in good health.

We adopt a strict preventive approach to General Dentistry and we share our patients goals of having healthy and functional teeth.

Diagnosis and early treatment

In General Dentistry, an early diagnosis is crucial. At Blue Spa Dental, we use the most advanced diagnosis methods and dental equipment. We can examine and reveal issues while they are at early stages of development. This is important as the extent of any dental treatment relies heavily on the extent to which the problem has developed. Essentially, preventive treatment can resolve diagnosed minor problems without the need for extensive or expensive dental treatments. Often, if teeth or gum problems are identified and treated early, further treatments like filling can be avoided. This serves the objective of preserving your natural tooth as much as possible which contributes to better oral health.

General Dentistry after extraction

There is a misconception that once a tooth is lost, all effects that may have been associated with it would disappear. This is not true. A missing tooth can cause misalignment of the entire jaw, affect the alignment of the surrounding teeth and can affect the gun tissue. Our general dentistry practices include conducting examinations on such areas and ensuring that the health of your remaining teeth, gum and mouth remain intact. In addition, a missing tooth can cause the need for a higher degree of dental hygiene and should be assessed properly as to whether it may cause other problems such as teeth grinding or sleep discomfort.

Dentists and Children

Getting children familiar and accustomed to visiting dental clinics is important. At Blue Spa Dental, we adopt a fun and relaxing approach to dentistry when it comes to children. We aim at making children enjoy their dentist visit. We carefully and gently perform dental examinations and even perform procedures on children and remain equally focused on making the child feel comfortable. Just like adults, if a child is diagnosed with dental problems at an early stage, complex procedures can be avoided by applying simple dental treatments.

Your General Dentist is your coach

Our dentists recognise educating patients as an important component of the general dentistry practice. Your dentist will discuss your food and eating regime with you and offer you advice on the best dietary practices that enhance the health of your teeth and gum. In addition, we discuss your habits of brushing and flossing and the proper way to achieve the best oral hygiene using the traditional and known dental aids like brushes and floss.

Preventive General Dentistry is important

Taking that step to visit us for an over-all general examination of your dental and oral health is your assurance to better oral health. We examine and assess your dental health and provide you with a treatment plan if required, if no treatment is required or if no issues were identified, we schedule your periodical general dental check visits so that you know that you health is in good shape. Besides preserving the health of your teeth and mouth, regular check-ups allow us to diagnose any issues early and give us the ability to apply simple and less complex treatments which makes batter financial sense. In most cases, expensive treatments can be avoided wherever early diagnosis is made.

I've been a patient here for more than 5 years and have been very happy with the care and service provided. Dr. Cartas and her team are always very accommodating, I'd recommend their Collins St clinic to anyone looking for a dentist in the CBD.

I have been a patient at this dentist for over 10 years and I even though I have moved away from Southbank where it was convenient I still do not mind the travel to see my usual Dentist. Very professional, quick and painless. I totally recommend getting your teeth cleaned, checked and explained to you with Blue Spa Dental. The girls here are very professional and friendly.

BEWARE! Only go here if you want terrible work done that won’t last!Got 2 front vaneers replaced and things started going wrong straight from the second appointment. My teeth were prepared for crowns instead of vaneers without concent. Wrong type of crowns then ordered. When right ones were eventually made the shape was wrong and they were too tight. I told dr cartas this but she said they’d settle in. They didn’t. Just 2 short years in, they cracked from pressure and fell out. They should last 10-15 years! One star is generous. I advised APRAH who agreed it was all done wrong, audited dr cartas and made her do courses. Save yourself the trouble. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.

Tried these guys out after my old dentist retired and had a great experience (well as great as visiting the dentist can be). The staff are very friendly and it's clear that all their patients love the place. I go to Collins St but I know they have two other locations which is handy.
