We are now available for appointments for Orthodontics, Prosthodontics (restorative and implant treatments) and Endodontics (root canal treatments).

23.01.2022 Missing front tooth. Lucas was sent in by his dentist. Both the dentist and his parents had been wondering where his other front tooth was. An x-ray revealed an extra tooth that has blocked the adult tooth from coming down, and the adult tooth was impacted at the base of his nose.... The extra tooth was removed, and a brace was glued to the deeply buried adult tooth so it could be grown into position. #smile #beautiful #braces #orthodontics #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #orthodontist

21.01.2022 Invisalign and Composite Veneers Kara had always been self conscious about her smile, her teeth were crooked and discoloured. Dr Thangavel trialled some temporary veneers to see what her teeth could look like.... As an additional option in her case, to improve the aesthetics and longevity of the veneers, Dr Thangavel suggested that she have Invisalign treatment with Dr Kamal before, to help align the foundations. Invisalign could get the foundations straight, and then veneers could fix the discolouration for Kara it meant less side effects from the procedure and the handcrafted veneers would give an even better result. Kara loves the results and wishes she had met the team at South Coast Smiles years ago. #smile #beautiful #veneers #smilemakeover #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #cosmeticdentist #composite #compositeveneer #braces #orthodontics #orthodontist #invisalign

19.01.2022 Closing spaces with composite resin. This patient had always been embarrassed by the gap in her front teeth and notches in her canines. We have conservatively closed the gap in one visit with no drilling and smoothed the notches using composite resin material creating a natural beautiful smile! #smile #beautiful #veneers #compositeveneers #wollongongdentist #wollongongspecialist #southcoastsmiles #cosmeticdentist #smilemakeover

07.01.2022 Fixed Upper/Lower Braces and Jaw Surgery. James hated his bottom jaw biting in front of his top teeth. When he found out the only way to correct his bite fully would involve jaw surgery he took the time to do a lot of research to make sure it was right for him. When he was comfortable, James started his journey, and is over the moon with the changes to his smile and face that correcting his teeth and bite have given him!... #smile #beautiful #braces #orthodontics #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #orthodontist #cosmeticdental #southcoastdentistry #jawsurgery #bitecorrection

07.01.2022 Adult Invisalign and Cosmetic Restoration Olivia had always felt just okay with her teeth, but as she had gotten older she became more self concious about the gap. When she had an accident and chipped her front tooth Olivia decided it was time to get the smile she always wanted. Upper and lower Invisalign was chosen to align her teeth and close the gap, followed by a cosmetic restoration on the chipped front tooth.... Olivia now smiles confidently to show off her pearly whites! #smile #beautiful #braces #orthodontics #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #orthodontist #cosmeticdental #southcoastdentistry

07.01.2022 Dr Kamal's lovely patient opted for fixed orthodontic braces (upper and lower) to correct her alignment concerns. Look at this wonderful smile and great result! Thanks Dr Kamal our specialist orthodontist at South Coast Smiles.... #smile #beautiful #braces #orthodontics #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #orthodontist

05.01.2022 Bite Correction with early intervention. Brad's Parents were worried about his bite. When he bit his teeth together, his bottom jaw was in front of his top teeth. Brad is one of the reasons orthodontist's want to have a quick look at kids from 8 years old. We really hope everything is developing normally, but know that some problems are a lot easier to manage early. The type of bite Brad has only affects a small part of the population. Fortunately Brad's parents brought him i...n at 8 years of age. Much later, and the bones we stretched to correct his bite would have fused, leaving us with no alternative other than to wait until he grew up so a surgeon could surgically re-position his jaw as a young adult. In Brad's case he came in early and we could correct his bite with a plate in 6-12 months. #smile #beautiful #braces #orthodontics #specialist #wollongongspecialist #makingsmiles #southcoastsmiles #orthodontist #jawsurgery #earlyintervention
