Teeth Whitening
If you’ve been dreaming of a whiter smile, we can help!

At Star Dental we provide safe options to remove these stains and brighten your smile. We offer professional in-clinic whitening using specialised red and blue light technology to have your smile shining bright while reducing pain and sensitivity.

Dental Extractions
At Star dental we know that dental extractions can be one of the more nerve-racking dental procedures. Therefore, we pride ourselves in streamlining this process and making you feel as comfortable as possible.
During the procedure we use local anaesthesia and walk you through the entire process while answering any questions and concerns you may have. During the procedure we provide you with the option to distract yourself during the procedure by watching your favourite movies and shows right above you.

Root Canals
What is a root Canal and why do I need one?
Although our teeth are designed to withstand a lot over our lifetime, sometimes the nerve inside a tooth can become damaged or infected. This is most commonly caused by a cavity, repeated dental work, cracked teeth or trauma to the tooth. When this occurs a root canal procedure is used to repair and save the damaged tooth.
Fortunately, today’s technology makes this a simple, quick, and efficient treatment. Signs you may need a root canal:
● Severe tooth pain including an aching or throbbing. This is caused by an infection in your tooth’s pulp and is an obvious sign of needing a root canal treatment.
● Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold. Sensitivity can be a sign of many things, but lingering sensitivity normally indicates you may require a root canal.
● Swelling or tenderness surrounding a tooth. Swelling is a common symptom of an infection and could mean a root canal is needed.
During the procedure we provide you with the option to distract yourself during the procedure by watching your favourite movies and TV shows right above you. Book your root call in Westboro at our clinic today!
Crowns and Bridges
Both Crowns and Bridges are custom fitted tooth prosthetics that are used to replace and restore damaged or missing teeth. Bridges act in a way exactly like their name sounds meaning they fill gaps left behind by missing teeth. Whereas crowns are fixed caps placed over damaged teeth in order to protect the tooth, keep it in place, restore strength and extend the tooth’s lifespan.
The most common reasons for requiring a crown are:
● Fractured or broken tooth
● Severely decayed tooth
● Large cavity where a filling is no longer an option
● Correct a cosmetic issue
● Cover a dental implant
● The most common reasons for requiring a bridge are:
● Replace a missing tooth or teeth
● Prevent alignment issues
● Avoid gum disease
● Prevent bacteria build-up
Distract yourself during the procedure by watching your favourite movies and TV shows right above you. Book your dental crowns and bridges in Westboro at our clinic today!
Fillings
Why do you need a filling?
To treat a cavity, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and then “filled” where the tooth material was removed. Fillings can also be used to repair damaged teeth that have been worn down from misuse over time. At Star Dental we provide fillings that match your teeth’s shade for a natural look that is safe, reliable, and designed to last.
During the procedure we provide you with the option to distract yourself during the procedure by watching your favourite movies and shows right above you. Book your dental filling in Westboro at our clinic today!
Mouth Guards
There is more to protecting your teeth than just brushing and flossing. If you enjoy playing sports or struggle with grinding your teeth at night, one way you can help preserve your smile is by wearing sports or night guards.
We provide custom mouth guards for patients wanting a comfortable and comprehensive protection option that will fit their unique mouth perfectly.
Our custom mouth guards provide a snug fit that eliminate unwanted movement reducing the possibility of tooth breakage and concussions during physical activity, by distributing the stress of impact to the entire length of the tooth. Our process is efficient and comfortable, during the procedure we provide you with the option to distract
yourself during the procedure by watching your favourite movies and shows right above you. Come get your custom mouth guard in Westboro at our clinic today!
If you struggle with grinding your teeth at night, you might have a condition known as Bruxism, a problem in which you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth. Bruxism could damage your teeth, but the condition could lead to other symptoms such as:
● Headaches
● Facial sensitivity
● Jaw pain
● Tooth sensitivity
● Lower quality of sleep
A nighttime mouthguard or “Night Guard” can help protect your teeth and manage these symptoms by acting as a layer of protection between your teeth. With the help of a custom night guard, you could sleep more comfortably, reduce wear and tear of your teeth and reduce pain or soreness around your face and mouth.
