21.01.2022 Dental x-rays are important in identifying decay, areas of infection in the mouth and even oral conditions such as periodontal/gum disease. If you’re in pain, your dentist will often take an x-ray to accurately diagnose your condition. As part of your routine check-up, we also recommend bite wing xrays which may be taken every 1-2 years to detect tooth decay and to monitor or assess any existing fillings. At Sunshine Family Dental, we have state of the art dental imaging... equipment and can take bite wings and OPG xrays on site. Dental x-rays have very minimal radiation doses and are safe for both children and adults. However we do have lead aprons available and ask that you let us know if you may be pregnant prior to taking any x-rays For an appointment: Call: 9312 0263 9am-6pm 7 days a week Book online: 24/7 www.sunshinefamilydental.com.au/book-appointment/ Non-urgent enquiries via IG DM

We’re now able to offer all dental treatment including check up and cleans, fillings, root canal therapy, simple and surgical extractions, braces, dentures, crowns and bridges. Our covid-19 protocols remain as strict as ever to ensure the utmost safety to you and your family. We ask that you attend your appointment alone where possible, wear a mask, use hand sa...nitizers upon arrival and practise social distancing. You will be asked to fill out a covid-19 questionnaire, have your temperature checked and rinse with specially formulated mouth rinses prior to any treatment.

04.01.2022 You know our team is taking PPE seriously when you can barely tell the dental nurses apart! Our hard working dental nurses have put in such great efforts to meticulously prepare the surgery, wipe down every surface before and after treatment and implement additional infection control protocols. We are very proud to have such a dedicated and professional team.

02.01.2022 With the increasing concerns surrounding Coronavirus, we would like to reassure all our patients that we remain open but have taken extra precautions to ensure the utmost safety to our staff and patients. We are screening and advising all patients who have travelled in the last 2 weeks or have cold/flu symptoms to postpone treatment. We have also removed our toy box and magazines temporarily to minimise cross-contamination and encourage all patients to utilise our accessible... hand sanitisers in the waiting rooms prior to coming in for treatment. We ask that anyone accompanying patients give their details, travel and cold/flu history. There are currently sufficient masks and medical protective measures to continue to maintain our infection control protocol to the highest standard. You may be asked to use a safe, low concentration peroxide rinse prior to certain dental procedures to minimise the spread of infection. Interruptions to usual opening hours may occur and if required, temporary closure may also take place. We will endeavour to keep our patients well-informed and attempt to prioritise all urgent treatment. Thank you for your patience with us during this time and rest assured we are doing everything we can to maintain our safe, clean and professional dental environment. @ Sunshine Family Dental

02.01.2022 We are excited to be back and able to provide more dental treatment to our patients. Level 2 restrictions mean that we can do fillings, simple extractions, check ups, hand scaling, root canal treatment and denture work to name a few! However we are still required to defer procedures such as ultrasonic scaling and surgical extractions. * Our strict covid-19 precautionary measures are more important than ever- be mindful that we need to screen for cold/flu symptoms, check your... temperature, ask that you come to your appointment alone where possible and rinse with a peroxide mouth wash prior to all treatment. * Please be kind and patient with staff during this time who are working hard to keep you safe. Appointments will also be extended to allow for stringent infection control procedures for wiping and handover so it is important to book in advance. See more

02.01.2022 Latest government recommendations categorise dentistry as essential, hence we remain open for all necessary routine and urgent dental treatment. We are now implementing fever/temperature monitoring in the waiting room as well as specially formulated peroxide rinses that assist in killing viruses, prior to commencing all dental treatment. Please be mindful that routine treatment not deemed necessary may be deferred. Appointment times are now extended to allow for strict precautionary measures and to minimise patient contact. We also ask that you do not arrive more than 5 mins earlier or bring visitors to your appointment, to minimise congestion in the waiting rooms. Our appointments are quickly filling up, so please also book in advance rather than walk in. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued support.

02.01.2022 We hope everyone has had a lovely long weekend! Dr Vy is booked out this week but we still have limited appointments available with our new dentist Dr Kim, this Sunday. Please call ahead or book online .

02.01.2022 Decay that goes into the nerve/pulp of a tooth can cause severe, throbbing toothaches especially when youre trying to sleep, eat or have anything hot to drink. The dentists at Sunshine Family Dental are well-equipped with modern dental technology to diagnose, treat and ease your pain through root canal therapy. This means you can save your tooth instead of pulling it out! If youre experiencing any symptoms, the first phase of root canal treatment is considered urgent dental care and can be provided during these times if required. If youre unsure whether your tooth needs root canal therapy, make an appointment so our skilled dentists can assess the tooth for you.
