I have been told I need crowns and veneers on my teeth. Can I get this done with a Dental 99 dentist?
At this stage, we will not be doing crowns. We focus on general dentistry and with this focus we do it very well. We can do fillings that will form the base for the crowns (cores) if necessary, that will give you the time to get your crown completed elsewhere.
I have been told I need my wisdom teeth extracted. Can I get my wisdom teeth taken extracted with Dental 99?
Wisdom teeth extractions are usually able to be performed at Dental 99. In most cases, wisdom teeth are deemed complex extractions and will need to be seen by a dentist or specialist that focuses on wisdom teeth extractions. We would be more than happy to assess your suitability at a Dental 99 Clean and checkup appointment as we have many dentists with excellent skill levels in wisdom teeth extractions. In the event your wisdom teeth are significantly complex that only a specialist can extract them, we will provide you with a referral to a suitable clinician.
