Our Services

We provide a wide range of dental services at family friendly prices. We treat everyone with kindness, respect and without judgement.

Comprehensive Dental Examinations

Our gentle dentists will assess not only your teeth but your overall oral health. We take the time to detect potential problems early and prevent you from needing more invasive and expensive treatment in the future. We are here to help you achieve a healthy mouth and a smile that you are proud to face the world with.

During your dental checkup appointment your dentist will:

examine your teeth and gums
take bitewing xrays to check between the teeth, under old fillings and to check for things not visible to the eye
check for possible signs of oral cancers
catch early signs of tooth decay
make you aware of areas in your mouth that may require more attention when cleaning

We recommend dental checkups at least yearly. For people more prone to tooth decay or gum problems, 6 monthly. Read more about how important dental examinations are here

Restorations (fillings)

When you develop a cavity or break a tooth, it is important to carefully restore the decayed and broken areas of the tooth using durable, aesthetic dental composite material. We use white filling materials that match or enhance your natural teeth.

The cost of your filling will depend on the size and position of the restoration required. They will range in price from $205 – $400. Your dentist will discuss the costs involved before undertaking any work.

Root Canal Therapy

When the nerve inside your tooth is infected; whether caused by injury, a deep cavity or an abscess, a successful root canal treatment allows you to keep your tooth rather than have it extracted.

Root canal treatment involves cleaning and shaping the canal that holds the infected or inflamed nerve tissue in the tooth. At Richmond Village Dental, we have invested in the latest endodontic technology to provide faster treatment and more predictable results.

In some cases where endodontic treatment is more complex, we can refer you to an endodontist (specialist in root canal treatments)

Crowns and Onlays

A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant.

Crowns can be made of ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials – Our dentists can advise which type is best for you specific tooth and conditions.
Ceramic Onlays and inlays are the perfect solutions for when the tooth requires a stronger, more durable restoration than a simple filling. Their design also means that we can conserve more natural tooth structure than a full coverage dental crown.

Some of these include bridges, dental implants, and dentures – come and see us for a consultation and get on the path to restoring your comfort and function.

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea

Sleep apnoea refers to disordered breathing during sleep. It can involve pauses in breathing or obstruction to the airway, thereby reducing the passage of oxygen. These disruptions can last for short periods, but if they happen multiple times a night, the overall quality of sleep and oxygen levels may be severely affected. Because the disorder disrupts normal sleep and oxygen flow, those affected may experience sleepiness or feel tired during the day.

Mandibular advancement appliances are clinically proven as an effective treatment for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

Victoria is experienced in treating patients who their sleep physician has diagnosed as requiring treatment for sleep-disordered breathing. At Richmond Village Dental we can fit you with a mandibular advancement splint, comfortably positioning your lower jaw forward and assisting breathing during sleep. Options include SomnoMed and 3D printed nylon appliances which are manufactured from a digital scan of your mouth.
