A full range of general dental services with a particular emphasis on minimal intervention dentistry
Dr Caprara’s dental surgery is situated in the city’s healthcare precinct at 118 Buckley Street, Morwell. The practice offers a full range of general dental services with a particular emphasis on minimal intervention dentistry.
Dr Caprara’s dental surgery has been operational for over 20 years. The philosophy of the practice is to deliver high quality dental services within a professional yet friendly environment, focusing on the best outcomes for the patient. We always endeavour to see emergency appointments promptly. We have EFTPOS facilities, accept all major credit cards and have HICAPS for on the spot private health claims.
Prevention is the cornerstone of modern dental practice. It stands to reason that preventing disease is always more desirable than being forced to treat it invasively. To this end, simple procedures such as fissure sealants and fluoride applications (to prevent decay), and regular professional cleaning (to minimise gum problems) form a large part of our daily routine. We advocate patient examinations every 6 months.
Many gum conditions are reversible if intervention occurs sooner rather than later. We advise our patients to have a scale & clean every six months. Some patients that have more advanced gum problems may require treatment that is focused below the gum line and hence will need to be reviewed more regularly. We instruct patients on good oral hygiene practices. What you do for yourself on a daily basis is more important than what any clinician can do for you every so often.
