Frequently Asked Questions

Hello, I’m Dr Jack Yang and if you’re visiting my website it’s probably because you’re in need of dental care.

People are often concerned about two things… pain and cost. So let me give you some reassurance on both counts.

Firstly, whilst obviously, I can’t say there’ll never, ever be any pain I can tell you that many of our patients are amazed when the treatments are finished and say, “But, I haven’t felt a thing!”

As to cost, we’re not the cheapest dentists, nor are we the most expensive. We aim to provide good value dentistry… the right treatment at the right price. We’d never do things on the cheap and compromise your dental care, nor would we do a Rolls Royce job when Commodore care is what’s needed.

Can I stress just one thing?

If you’re in need of dental care, then don’t delay. I see many people who leave it until they are in desperate trouble and that makes things worse because what was a little problem that could be easily fixed quickly becomes a major one.

I hope this has helped you and look forward to seeing you in the very near future. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call my office. We’ll give you straight answers.

By the way, if you’re here after hours and would like us to call back you as soon as our office is open to arrange your appointment or discuss any concerns, please leave a message through the “Contact Us” page.

Thank you for visiting my website.

It’s recommended children first see a dentist as early as six-months-old and no later than one year old. During this time, your child’s baby teeth will be coming in and our dental team can examine the health of your child’s first few teeth. After the first visit, be sure to schedule regular checkups every six months.

Early detection and intervention is the key to long-term oral health. By having a regular check-up every six months potential problems can be diagnosed early and minimize the need for lengthy and costly restorative treatment.

To ensure your toothbrush is effective it’s advised to replace it every three months, with the change of seasons being a good way to remember. If you’re using an electric toothbrush, be sure to read the directions because you may not need to change toothbrush heads as frequently. Patients with gum disease are encouraged to change their toothbrushes every four to six weeks to keep any bacteria from spreading.

Many people fear going to the dentist mainly because of a traumatic experience when they were younger. This means they postpone receiving much-needed treatment until they can’t put it off any longer.

With the advances in dental medicine and pain management options, dental visits today can be relaxing and comfortable. The key to coping with dental anxiety is to discuss your fears with our team so we can together alleviate your concerns.

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dental solution to create a flawless-looking smile. They are made from fine pieces of sculpted porcelain that are placed on the front surface of the front teeth. They are used to close spaces between teeth, cover chips or discoloured teeth or even straighten slightly crooked teeth.

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments. A crown is placed to restore strength to a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy or had a large amount of decay removed or to a dental implant. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge is often supported by crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side of the space.

Most bone graft procedures fall under the categories of autogenous, allografts and xenografts.

Autogenous Grafts – Autogenous is the process where the bone is taken from areas such as the chin, hip or other areas of the patient’s body when the goal is a dental implant. It is considered the best type of dental bone grafting technique because the bone contains active cellular elements that enhance bone growth.

Allograft Grafts – Allografts are synthetic bone or bone derived from genetically unrelated members such as freeze-dried cortical bone, which has been specifically prepared and found to be very effective for dental bone graft procedures.

Xenograft Grafts – Xenografts bone is derived from non-living bone of another species, usually a cow. It is processed at very high temperatures to avoid the potential for immune rejection and contamination and involves the formation of new bone from host cells along a framework of a compatible biological material.

The type of bone graft surgery required will depend on personal needs and circumstances. After a comprehensive assessment, the Infinity Dental team will discuss which is best for you.

Preventive orthodontics is to keep bad bites from developing by ensuring there is enough space in the jaw for permanent teeth to come in.

Interceptive treatment helps address and avoid the development of problems that could possibly lead to severe dental cases and reduce the length and extensiveness of later orthodontic treatment.

Comprehensive orthodontics encompasses all areas of orthodontic treatment and takes into consideration facial beauty, and proportional alignment and does not involve the unnecessary extraction of teeth for space.

Children’s teeth and facial bones can develop quickly. This can determine the type of orthodontic treatment they need and how long it can take to complete treatment.

Children’s orthodontics is focused on guiding the teeth into their correct position and the development of the facial bone bones. As adult facial bones have already fully developed, adult orthodontics is mainly focused on repositioning teeth into their correct alignment.

Orthodontic treatment works by guiding teeth through the jaw bone into their optimal and aligned position. This could be through the application of fixed braces, removable aligners, retainers or headgear.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your or your child’s individual needs. At Infinity Dental we can tailor a treatment plan and provide you with payment options.

When braces are prescribed for pre-and early teens, they not only straighten teeth and correct bite problems but also guide the growth and development of the facial bones.

As the facial bones of adults are fully developed, Smilefast and Cfast have been designed to align the teeth and create a straight smile. This makes them an option only suited to adults and why treatment can be completed in as little as 6 months.
