Check and Clean/Preventative Care

Dental Health: Choose the preventive care that suits you.

Regular Dental Hygiene and Dental exams prevent dental disease from becoming an acute, or chronic problems, or or stress to your body. We encourage you to maintain your oral health. This will support a healthy, functioning body. We offer individual care specific to your oral health requirements.


We use state-of-the-art EMS Air Flow technology - Airflow is a revolutionary, non-contact form of dental maintenance. It projects a controlled stream of air, water and very fine powder onto the tooth and into hard-to-reach areas to dislodge plaque, discolouration and stains. Advantages of using the EMS Airflow: More comfortable.

Children's Dental Care

Caring for Children's Teeth

Caring for your children's teeth is essential in setting them up for life! Poor dental health is related to many other general diseases. At Evolution Dental Care, we want to provide your kids with a fun and exciting experience that will help them foster a fantastic, lifelong, positive relationship with dental professionals.

When Should Children First Visit The Dentist?

We encourage kids as young as 12 months to come for their first dental visits.

Why? When they only have a few teeth?!

At The age of 12 months, we check for the following:

  • Normal eruption patterns of teeth
  • Any abnormalities in tooth placement or discolourations
  • Tongue and lip ties
  • Assess for breathing dysfunctions

We help educate parents on the correct ways to look after their children's teeth and how to encourage sustainable oral hygiene practices.

What to Expect at Your Child's Dental Visit?

Let us offer you and your children a stress-free experience. We have a fun first check-up, take them for a ride in the chair, use the tickly air to dry and count their teeth (whilst also checking for decay and other issues), a clean if the child allows, and then they get to choose a prize from our coveted prize box, as well as a take-home dental kit tailored to their needs! All with a smile on your child's face!


After their first dental cleaning, we may find your child needs some treatments to prevent dental decay in deep grooves in their teeth, called fissure sealants. If we find any dental decay, it is imperative this is addressed. Many parents think baby teeth having holes (dental cavities) is not a problem, as they will just fall out. However, the bad bacteria that cause holes can stay around for years in your child's saliva and lead to dental decay in their adult teeth. We are focused on being proactive in all aspects of early intervention dentistry. From preventing dental disease to ensuring children develop their airway health and dental positions as optimal as possible.


We may also need to take X-rays to check for dental decay. It usually begins on the biting surfaces of the teeth, which can be seen by the practitioner's eye in your child's mouth or in between the teeth. Baby teeth have a different make-up to adult teeth, so it can be harder to detect large regions of decay in between the teeth, which can quickly progress to injure and destroy the nerve of the tooth, also known as the dental pulp. It is extremely safe to take dental X-rays due to the digital nature and low doses of radiation.

Gap-Free Children's Dental Care?

Looking after your kids' teeth has never been more affordable!

We offer gap-free dental check ups and cleans for children under 17 through their private health provider.

Emergency Dental

Priority and Same-Day Appointments Are Available

In dentistry, an emergency occurs unexpectedly and usually at the most inconvenient time! When a dental emergency occurs, it is recommended that you seek professional dental care as soon as possible.

Priority and same-day appointments are available for dental emergencies.

Dental emergencies can occur as any of the following:

  • Facial swelling or enlarged lymph nodes
  • Swelling inside the mouth or near a tooth
  • Trauma to the face/mouth, including but not limited to lip laceration, tooth knocked out or displaced, bleeding gums from trauma
  • Knocked or broken tooth
  • Consistent pain that is keeping you awake at night and or not relieved by over-the-counter pain medications such as panadol or ibuprofen

Book online, or call us now at 02 4040 0560.

Our friendly and knowledgeable reception team will help answer any questions they can.If we are outside of our opening hours, and you feel your condition is truly a dental emergency, we have an after-hours number.


Alternatively, if you are experiencing head and or neck swelling accompanied by heat/redness and or fever, making you feel nauseated or unwell, or shortness of breath/reduced breathing capacity, extending to or affecting your eye, we recommend you go to your nearest hospital emergency room for urgent care.


If the dental pain is not this severe, please take some over-the-counter painkillers if this helps decrease or subside the pain. Contact us to book an emergency time so one of our experienced dental professionals can see you as soon as possible. Dental pain does not usually go away on its own, and it is caused by an issue with the tooth and or nerve, which requires a dental practitioner's expertise in diagnosing and treating the source of this pain.

Sedation Dentistry

Dental anxiety or dental phobias can often keep people away from the dentist. At Evolution Dental Care, we are here to help you and look after you.

What is Sedation in Dentistry?

We always aim to keep our patients comfortable and calm while providing optimal treatments. We understand that some people need a little extra help. Evolution Dental Care uses two types of sedation:  Nitrous Oxide and Oral Sedation (Medication). This helps the patient feel more relaxed and decreases anxiety.


Some benefits of sedation in dentistry include safe, anxiety-free, and pain-free treatments and shorter visits for complex and lengthy treatment plans.

For your comfort and to create peace of mind among our more nervous patients, we offer the following sedation options:

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide provides relaxation, anti-anxiety, and decreased pain to the user. It is controlled by the dentist and administered by a mask covering your nose. You are still able to talk with your dentist, but this takes the edge off and allows you to feel very relaxed. Your dentist will be able to control the intensity of the inhalant so that he or she can communicate with you during treatment.

Intravenous Sedation

At Evolution Dental Care, we are lucky enough to have a locum dentist trained in IV Sedation who occasionally comes to the practice to treat patients under sleep dentistry. Patients will have the IV sedation initiated and monitored by a qualified IV Sedationist, and their dental treatment will performed by one of our caring dental practitioners. This allows patients to have more lengthy procedures whilst relaxing them to a state similar to sleep. Patients can still hear the practitioner, but after the procedure, they can not recall much due to the sleep-like state they undergo.


We always make sure our patients are medically fit and qualify for these sedation options prior to recommending and commencing.


Please do not delay your dental treatment due to dental phobias or anxiety. Our caring team are here to help. We offer a comfortable experience with our sedation and are happy to answer any and all questions patients have. To learn more about how our sedation in dentistry can help you, book online or give us a call at 02 4040 0560.

Root Canals / Endodontics

What is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that replaces a tooth's damaged or infected pulp with a root filling.Root canal treatment is done under Local anaesthetic, so it is very rare to feel any pain. We use a special raincoat to keep other germs from the mouth out of the tooth.


Root canal treatment takes 2-3 visits. In the first appointment, the aim is to get you out of pain and alleviate the infection. The second appointment aims to remove any further infection, clean the tooth roots and shape them in preparation for the third appointment. The third appointment, providing the tooth is no longer showing any signs of infection, is to fill the root canal systems with a root filling and permanent filling.

After the Root Canal, What Happens?

A crown is usually recommended for molar and premolar teeth. When teeth have lost their nerves, we are unable to tell how much force we are putting on the tooth, and we can overload it, so the tooth may break. A crown is used to hold the tooth together, strengthen it, and prevent this.
Front teeth may also require a crown, depending on their pre-root canal situation.


See our Restorative Dentistry page for more information.

If you feel you may have an infected or dead tooth requiring root canal treatment, book online or call us to make an appointment at 02 4040 0560.
