Goldfields Family Dental – LOCALLY FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED
It is commonly accepted that nobody likes going to the dentist, but that need not be the case anymore. The dentist Kalgoorlie has been waiting for is now making patients’ lives better thanks to superior technology, superb skills, and a whole different outlook. This is a family dental clinic with a difference and has raised the bar for Kalgoorlie dentists.
Our team includes not only brilliant dentists but also oral health therapists (OHTs) and anaesthetists. Let’s look at those more closely. Read More
As the only dentists in Kalgoorlie to have an OHT, we offer trained staff using airflow machines to treat periodontal disease. With the latest technology, we can use warmer water in the cleaning process, as the cold fluid is mainly what can make having your teeth cleaned uncomfortable.
OHTs specialise in preventive gum disease: it’s a whole new way of looking at things. Prevention is better than cure and we can offer more than just the standard advice for patients to attend to themselves. Many dentists don’t even like this aspect of the job, so it is no surprise that we have the largest dental hygiene department in the city.
Anaesthetists on the staff? You may wonder why. The reason is that another of our special areas is sleep dentistry, in which the patient is given a general anaesthetic intravenously so the dentist can go about their business without disturbing you at all. You wake up and it’s done. General anaesthetics have been used for many years, but not like this.
We add an extra element of safety and reassurance, not just through our trained staff but the fact that it’s carried out in a fully equipped dental unit at Kalgoorlie Regional Hospital. In most cases, you can be free to go in a couple of hours, as good as new and without even a numb mouth.
As an alternative to the general anaesthetic, our experts can use Penthrox, a gas that provides relief from pain and anxiety as well as relaxing muscles including the tongue, so if you’re someone who gags when the dentist is working in their mouth, we can get over that problem.
We also offer oral sedation, it’s yet another way to make your dental treatment less of an ordeal.
If there is one group of people who are more apprehensive about all this than grown adults, it is of course youngsters. In the medical profession you will find paediatricians, because young bodies react differently from older ones, so why not extend that to dentistry? We offer paediatric dental care, so your next generation will be in specialist hands.
We take a proactive approach to this, creating a happy, upbeat atmosphere so young people can see a trip to the dentist as a positive experience. How cool is that (as they might say)?
Teeth may be primarily for chewing food, but they are also an important part of everyone’s appearance and image, and we take the “cosmetic” side of it very seriously which is why we provide state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry services for the residents in Kalgoorlie.
You can contact us by phone, email or by filling in the online form, so get in touch and let’s talk about what you need help with. You may never think about dentistry the same again. Read Less
