Services
Children's Dentistry
Bardon Smiles specialises in paediatric dental care, focusing on creating positive experiences for children. Our dentists use engaging techniques, rewards, and education to foster lifelong oral hygiene habits. We offer preventive treatments like fissure sealants and regular check-ups to ensure early detection of issues. Our approach prioritises comfort, with child-friendly facilities and tools like disclosing gels to make brushing fun. We guide parents on managing teething, diet, and oral care routines.
Dental Implants
We provide dental implant solutions for replacing missing teeth with natural-looking, durable results. The process involves titanium fixtures integrated into the jawbone, topped with crowns or bridges. Our team collaborates with specialists to assess suitability and plan precise placements. Implants restore function and aesthetics, mimicking natural teeth in appearance and feel. We ensure thorough pre-operative evaluations and post-care guidance to maximise implant longevity.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional take-home whitening kits use Opalescence formula for safe, effective results. Custom trays are created from dental impressions to ensure even gel application. The process typically lightens teeth by several shades over a few days. We educate patients on maintaining results through proper oral hygiene and dietary habits. Whitening addresses stains from coffee, smoking, or aging, enhancing confidence with a brighter smile.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy saves infected or damaged teeth by removing inflamed pulp and sealing the canals. We use X-rays to map canal structures and ensure thorough disinfection. Treatment spans multiple visits to allow healing between stages. A crown is often recommended post-treatment to protect the weakened tooth. We prioritise patient comfort with local anaesthesia and refer complex cases to specialists for optimal outcomes.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect against sports-related dental injuries. We use pressure-moulding technology to create durable, comfortable guards that stay secure during activity. Available in various thicknesses and designs, they reduce risks of broken teeth and jaw injuries. We advise on care routines to maintain hygiene and fit. Health fund patients receive gap-free coverage for added affordability.

Questions
What age should children first visit the dentist?
We recommend a child's first visit around age 2, when all baby teeth typically erupt. Early visits help detect issues and establish good oral hygiene habits.
Can I book multiple family members at once?
Yes, we accommodate family appointments. Our practice offers iPads, TVs, and play areas to keep children entertained during visits.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, our professional whitening system uses Opalescence formula, proven safe and effective under dental supervision. Sensitivity is temporary and manageable.
Do you offer emergency dental care?
We prioritise urgent cases but do not provide 24/7 emergency services. Contact us during opening hours for immediate assistance.
How do I care for a mouthguard?
Rinse with cool water, brush with soap, and store in a ventilated container. Avoid hot water and inspect regularly for wear or distortion.
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most healthy adults are candidates. We assess bone density and oral health during consultations to determine suitability for implant placement.

Called to make a booking, they didnt have anything for 1 month for my chipped tooth and have damaged gum that needs clean so I booked in. The next day they called to say they had a cancellation that day. I drove over 1 hour to get there, changed around all my afternoon appointments then when I got there reception lost my notes and told me they couldnt do the full clean and filling. Just the filling, I have majo pain and need the clean but they said I would have not come back because she forgot. I begged for them to fit it in but they said they couldnt confirm they would. So I had to leave

Bardon Smiles has been my regular dentist for the last decade or more. I drive a considerable distance to experience dentistry of the finest standard. Halim and his team are faultless and Halim's skills are second to none. No challenge has been too great, he has achieved outstanding results others in his industry would not have attempted and some have failed. I cannot speak highly enough of this practice for their cleanliness, communication and professionalism.

Bardon Smiles is by far the best dentistry I have ever been to. The entire team is amazing. I go in for everything, but was even more impressed (and grateful!) for this great team during a recent wisdom tooth extraction. Dr Sonya is so skilled and comprehensive, but always makes me feel entirely comfortable. Ruby, the dental nurse/assistant, was also so professional, skilled and kind. And the reception staff are always beyond helpful and friendly. The practice is always running on time and working out the finer details of scheduling and quotes is made extremely easy. I am never ever disappointed

I have been putting off dental work for years. I got in a pickle last week and needed urgent work done, the team at Bardon Smiles got me in the next day and had me in for my tooth removal a few days later. Halim was absolutely wonderful and I am no longer fearful of the denist, I am actually excited to get all my work completed. Thank you.

At 68 I've visited a lot of dentists but Barron smiles and Halim are the most professional and caring. I have 5 adult children and 8 grandchildren and they and their families all attend as does my 95 year old mum in-law. Well done.
