General Dentistry

Avoiding the dentist can result in the worsening of dental disease, a greater need for emergency care, or more complex treatment. Regular dental check-ups, clean,s and screening X-rays can prevent dental disease and help the dentist find any problems early so that simpler and less invasive treatments are needed.

Most dental disease is lifestyle-related and preventable. By avoiding going to the dentist, not only are you more likely to need more complex treatments when you do finally attend, but you are also missing out on learning how to better care for your oral health.

The lifestyle factors that lead to dental disease are very similar to those that lead to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke, and some cancers, so taking care of your oral and general health is very important.

Dental Anxiety and Dental Phobia

We are conscious at Pearly Whites Dental that dental anxiety and dental phobia are common and we can help you manage it. When dental anxiety is severe and results in fear and complete avoidance of going to the dentist, it can be classified as a dental phobia.

Dental anxiety can be caused by:
a traumatic dental experience or other healthcare experience(s)
previous trauma to the head and neck
other traumatic experiences, including abuse
generalised anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder
the view that the mouth is a personal area and accessing the mouth is an invasion of personal space
fear of loss of control
trust issues
anxiety associated with other conditions such as agoraphobia (fear of being in situations where you feel you cannot escape), claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces), or obsessive-compulsive disorder where there is an obsession around cleanliness can make access to dental care more difficult.

If anxiety prevents you from seeking dental treatment, there are strategies we can put in place to help you cope so please talk to us so that we can work out which strategies are right for you.

Dental anxiety can be managed often by a caring and compassionate environment, a TV on the roof and noise-canceling headphones, aromatherapy, music, and laughter.

Dental Phobia can often be managed with a medication such as Diazepam (Valium), a referral for Hypnosis, or a referral for General Anaesthetic/IV sedation. At Pearly Whites Dental we have had many patients overcome their dental phobia and anxiety.

We promise you that we will not judge you, get angry with you or be impatient with you if you are really really scared, cry or find it difficult to talk to us. We are here to help and we strive to listen well, with compassion and kindness to help you.

Dental implants

Dental implants are a reliable, long-lasting option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Each implant includes a titanium post and a custom crown, designed to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.

Compared to traditional dentures or bridges, implants provide several advantages:

Natural Look and Feel: Closely match your real teeth.
Comfort: No slipping or discomfort like removable dentures.
Better Oral Health: Helps preserve bone and prevent bone loss.
Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

Treatment Process:

Consultation: Full assessment and personalised treatment plan.
Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
Healing: The implant fuses with the bone over 3–6 months.

Crown Placement: A custom crown or bridge is attached once healing is complete.

Children’s Dentistry

At Pearly Whites Dental we are committed to children having a GREAT experience at the Dentist. Our top priority is for your precious child to have a happy and pain-free experience at the Dentist so that we can advise you on any dental concerns we have and so that they can get used to coming to the Dentist. Hopefully, they don’t need treatment but if they do we want them to get through any dental procedures so that they leave with healthy teeth and healthy habits and are not scared to come next time

We provide all sorts of advice and treatment to prevent dental disease including fissure sealants and fluoride treatment.

Joana Fronda has joined us this year. She has previously worked as a Dental Assistant at Pearly Whites Dental and then loved Dentistry so much she left Broome to attend Curtin University’s Dental Program. She graduated with a Bachelor of Oral Health Therapist. After practising as an Oral Health Therapist in Darwin, she is excited to be working back in Broome.
