At Greenland Dental Burpengary, we’re committed to helping you achieve and maintain the best oral health and protection.
A regular dental check-up helps us address any issues early before serious, painful and expensive treatments are necessary. We recommend that X-rays be taken of your teeth and gums for a more comprehensive assessment.

If you or your children participate in contact sports, a mouthguard can protect against injuries to teeth, lips, gums and the jaw. A custom-made mouthguard cast from yours or your child’s mouth gives a comfortable fit and protection to your teeth, gums, tongue and jaw in a way that can’t be provided by an over-the-counter alternative.
If you’re suffering from red, swollen or bleeding gums, you may have gum disease (periodontitis). Periodontitis occurs when bacteria infect the gums (gingivitis) and is left untreated, causing the infection to start breaking down the bone and supporting structures holding teeth in place. Signs you may be suffering from gum disease include:
Without proper attention, teeth may become loose and have to be removed. At Greenland Dental Burpengary, we can work with you to rebuild your oral hygiene by creating customised treatment plans and at-home routines.
A toothache, sensitivity or a regular dental checkup may reveal you have a cavity that needs filling. Tooth fillings are a simple treatment that prevents further damage, and dental expense, occurring in the future. At Greenland Dental Burpengary, we offer white (or tooth-coloured) fillings to retain the beauty of your teeth and smile. These new fillings are made from a hard composite material that can withstand chewing and biting force over a long period of time.
Restore the shape and strength of your damaged teeth with dental crowns. Dental crowns, or caps, are used to completely cover a damaged tooth or implant, restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns are typically used for patients with teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other treatments. We may recommend dental crowns for:
Our skilled dentists will tailor the crown to fit the exact dimensions of your damaged tooth and match the colour to your existing teeth.
If you have a missing tooth, or several missing teeth, a bridge can be used to close the gaps and restore the function and appearance of your teeth. A bridge consists of a porcelain replacement tooth, or teeth, that are attached to your healthy natural teeth at both ends of the gap. In some cases, we strengthen the supporting teeth with crowns. All of our bridges are custom-made from the best materials to ensure they’re comfortable and long-lasting.
Root canal therapy is a procedure used to save a tooth that would otherwise need extracting. It’s usually required when decay or damage has caused the pulp inside a tooth to become infected. A root canal is usually performed over two visits. We clear the infection and seal the root canal before repairing the tooth with a filling or crown to restore its full function.
Visit the dentists at Greenland Dental Burpengary if you’re experiencing:
Where possible, we believe in preserving the natural tooth structure and avoid having to extract a tooth unless it’s unavoidable or has a poor long-term prognosis. If tooth extraction is necessary, you can rest assured our skilled dental team will make your tooth extraction as painless and comfortable as possible. In most cases, it’s important to replace the missing tooth to restore the function and aesthetic of your teeth. Our dentists will discuss tooth replacement options to suit your personal needs and lifestyle.
If you have some or all of your teeth missing, dentures offer a simple and efficient solution to restore your confidence. Dentures are a removable set of artificial teeth made to replace missing teeth. At Greenland Dental Burpengary, our dentures are custom-made based on your teeth impressions and measurements. We guarantee each set of dentures will fit your mouth comfortably, restore your ability to eat and drink, and look completely natural. Our dentists will show you how to take care of your dentures and gums to ensure they remain clean and last for years.
