Dentistry fit for you

Hanly Dental Studio provide general dental check-ups to examine the overall health of your teeth, as well as to mitigate any issues you may be experiencing such as toothache and pain.

Dental check-ups can also highlight any restorative treatments that may be required including fillings, crowns or bridges.

During your visit to Hanly Dental Studio, our dentists will perform a careful inspection of your mouth, teeth and gums and look for signs of tooth decay, cavities, loose or broken teeth, damaged fillings or crowns, gum disease or any other oral health problems.

We recommend a dental check up every six to twelve months to keep your teeth healthy and in top condition for life.

Sometimes there is more than meets the eye with teeth. Hanly Dental Studio’s x-ray machines allow our dentists to evaluate your oral health and identify problems that might be happening under the surface of the teeth, fillings and gums such as tooth decay, impacted teeth and gum disease.  From there, we can provide advice on treatment.

During our dental check-ups, we perform a clean and polish to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) deposits that have built up on your teeth over time.

The regular removal of plaque and calculus keeps your teeth and gums healthy throughout life. At Hanly Dental Studio, our dentists are careful and gentle to ensure you have a positive dental experience.  

Fillings are a common dental restoration used to repair broken teeth or remove decay. If you are experiencing toothache or sensitivity, you may require a filling.

At Hanly Dental Studio, we offer tooth-coloured fillings (sometimes called composite fillings) in order to retain the aesthetic beauty of your teeth and smile. These fillings are virtually invisible and provide a smooth surface to fill in small holes or cavities.

Root canal treatment is a procedure performed in order to save a tooth that has been affected by decay, a deep filling, trauma to the tooth or a deep crack, that causes the nerve of the tooth to become inflamed and die. Patients who experience persistent toothache, swelling, pain or pressure or sensitivity to hot and cold, may require a root canal.

Root canal treatment in Mackay is available at Hanly Dental Studio where we treat the infected area by cleaning and removing the damaged or infected nerve tissues and replace it with a root filling. Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth in your jaw to maintain excellent function and aesthetics.

Tooth or dental extractions may be necessary in patients with severe cases of infection, trauma, crowded teeth, tooth decay, extensive damage and gum disease.

Hanly Dental Studio can perform dental extractions in Mackay during a standard appointment, once we have evaluated your situation and provided you with appropriate dental advice and care.

Patients receive local anaesthetic to make the removal of a tooth/teeth a comfortable experience while in the chair.

Wisdom teeth are the last tooth series to appear in the mouth and are often troublesome because many patients have insufficient space in their mouth.

Wisdom teeth can cause decay, damage to adjacent teeth, as well as infect the gums and bone surrounding it. Wisdom teeth can be painful, develop cysts and often require removal. 

If your wisdom teeth need removal, this can often be performed in the chair at Hanly Dental Studio using local anaesthetic.

Some wisdom teeth can be close to nerves and require you to see a specialist oral surgeon to remove them.

We work closely with specialists in Mackay to provide you with the best care.

Recovery from wisdom teeth removal can take several days, so we advise our patients to take care to rest and heal.

Our dental crown and bridge treatment in Mackay can be the cure for missing or damaged teeth and restore a natural looking smile.

A dental crown is one way to restore badly damaged teeth that are compromised. A crown looks and feels like natural teeth, while providing the strength and durability required to act like natural teeth.

At Hanly Dental Studio we use the latest variety of materials available such as porcelain, zirconia (white metal) and gold which all provide the tooth with the strength to last long-term.

A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth/teeth. Bridges have an artificial tooth/teeth attached and can fill in the gap by being cemented and anchored onto the surrounding natural teeth.

Dental bridges are a permanent fixed solution and are commonly used when you lose one or more teeth in its entirety.

Gum disease can be referred to as gingivitis and periodontitis. These are typically caused by oral bacterial growth. Symptoms of gum disease can include bleeding, swollen gums, bad taste and breath, and loose teeth.

It is important to address gum disease as soon as possible to avoid gum infections and teeth loosening.

At Hanly Dental Studio, we can provide a comprehensive gum disease treatment plan to reduce oral bacteria through regular dental check-ups and cleans, as well as recommend lifestyle changes to reduce the severity of your gum disease.
