Preventative Care
Preventative Care
Prevention is better than cure! The best way to avoid dental disease is to take good daily care of your teeth. We provide comprehensive regular check-ups and cleans, and teach you the best oral hygiene practices so that you can show off a healthy mouth and smile. Brushing and flossing are important. Just as important are regular dental visits to check for the first sign of decay or cracks that could eventually lead to an infected tooth.
Fillings
Fillings
Fillings may be required when tooth structure has been lost to decay and other pathology. At BDG, we sculpt and mould filling material - typically tooth-coloured composite resins - to blend with your surrounding teeth, and create a smile with a flawless appearance. Composite resin fillings can be used on front and back teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) is a specialty of dentistry which involves the saving of infected teeth and keeping them in the mouth! This usually involves removing the damaged nerve, disinfecting the nerve space, and placing fillings into the roots of the affected tooth. We provide this service for front and back teeth.
Extractions
Extractions
At Ballarat Dental Group, we strive to provide the most comfort and care if you require any dental extractions. We will continue to support you in the aftercare of removal of any teeth. Dental extractions are necessary only at the most utmost circumstances, and can often be avoided with routine check-ups.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening
There are many different causes for tooth discolouration. These include ageing, coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain types of medication. Teeth Whitening can transform an ageing and discoloured smile into a striking smile. We offer at-home bleaching kits with custom fitted trays. In only 7-10 days, you can have whiter smile that you’ve always dreamed of!
Veneers
Veneers
Veneers are a thin layer of material to cover the front face of your teeth. They act as a protective layer and improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers can fix worn or chipped teeth, discoloured or stained teeth, crooked teeth or teeth with gaps. These are ideal for special events such as weddings and birthdays, and can give you a major confidence boost!
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and Bridges
A crown is a lab-made restoration that caps a tooth entirely to return it to its normal shape and size. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile.
Bridges are sometimes an option to replace one or more missing teeth with the help of crowns. Replacing missing teeth can make it easier to chew and smile with confidence!
Orthodontics
Orthodontics
Our orthodontic philosophy is to create healthy and beautiful faces. We achieve this by focusing on and assessing the head and neck as a whole. This includes the facial profile, the airways, the temporomandibular joint, jaw shape and size as well as factors that can influence jaw development and teeth positions.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the closest to a natural tooth replacement. There is no need for a removable plate or additional damage needed for making dental bridges.
Ballarat Dental Group proudly use Dentsply Implants, one of world’s leading implants with well documented evidence for long-term success rates.

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea and snoring is becoming more recognised as contributing to poorer health. People who are constantly tired, fatigued and have disturbed sleep should be investigating the possibility that they have sleep apnoea. At Ballarat Dental Group, we offer a sleep screening service and splints (night guards) to help with sleep disordered breathing.
Clenching and Grinding
Clenching and Grinding
Jaw joint or facial pain, and sometimes headaches can be attributed to excessive clenching or grinding of your teeth. We can advise you on how best to manage this habit. One technique is to have an occlusal splint made for your teeth to reduce the effects of clenching/grinding on your muscles, and protect your teeth in the long term.
