Welcome to Longhurst Dental, your trusted dentist for comfortable and personalised care for the whole family. We cover all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry, including sedation.

Regular dental examinations and x-rays are used to identify any potential dental problems. A typical dental examination includes two x-rays and checking the status of all teeth, fillings and prosthetic restorations in your mouth. Your examination is also a time for you to discuss any dental concerns or needs with your dentist. Catching small issues early can help to prevent the need for more complicated procedures.

If you require a more detailed x-ray, we have an OPG machine (panoramic) which is used to determine positioning of wisdom teeth and/or missing teeth.

There is nothing worse than a toothache. If you are in pain call us and we will see you as soon as possible. We try to make space available on the day for emergencies.
Severe pain, infection and swelling may indicate the need for a filling, a root canal treatment or perhaps an extraction. All these procedures can be carried out at Longhurst Dental.

There is no charge for emergency care of children 0-17 years at Longhurst Dental.

Dental fillings are a common procedure to fix teeth that have decayed or broken. If you have a sore or sensitive tooth, get it checked by one of our dentists to see if you require a filling.

We typically use white fillings to restore your teeth, your dentist can discuss filling material options with you at your next appointment.

High school students up to their 18th birthday are treated free here at Longhurst Dental. This includes examination, x-rays, fillings, root canal therapy and extractions due to dental decay. Please note orthodontic extractions, advanced cosmetic treatments, and hygienist care are not covered by the free dental service and involve a private fee.

The School Dental Services treat children free up to school year 8. Children that have been given a sedation referral from a community dental clinic can be treated at Longhurst Dental with nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas). However, your child must first have a consultation with one of our dentists to determine suitability and develop a treatment plan. Please call us once you have a sedation referral.
