In today’s digital age, we have all become more keenly aware of how our smiles look. The predominance of social media, digital photography and our online presence has made it vital to have a smile you’re proud to show off. In fact, a smile in Australia is a vital social interaction.
A survey commissioned for the recent World Oral Health Day finds that better than half of Australians smile to be friendly, and 40 per cent do it to be polite. But at the same time, two-thirds of us lack confidence in our smiles.
The good news is that the Painfree Dentistry team provides cosmetic dentistry in Parramatta to solve tooth challenges that bother you most.
Yes, we can treat a chipped tooth in Harris Park, NSW. We repair the chip using various methods, depending on the complexity or severity of your tooth chip or fracture.
Teeth chip or crack for many reasons, including misaligned bite, injury, general wear or biting down on a hard object. Teeth can also chip due to decay or untreated oral infections. Fortunately, we can treat these oral health issues and restore the tooth to health.
Methods we may use to repair a tooth chip include:
Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on the size and nature of your chip. Some chips are merely cosmetic. Others may expose the inner tooth, leaving it vulnerable to infection or decay. Significant chips or fractures may require a tooth crown instead of dental bonding.
If you have a tooth chip or other breakage, we encourage you to contact our dental team to arrange a consultation with the dentist.
A chipped tooth is a common form of dental damage. But if you aren’t bothered by how it looks, then you
might wonder if you need to have your dentist in Parramatta repair it at all.
First, each of your teeth is strong so long as they are completely intact. Your tooth enamel acts like a helmet around your inner tooth filled with living tissue. And in the same way a cracked helmet won’t protect your head, even a chip may compromise the tooth, allowing bacteria to establish an infection inside. Suddenly a little chip has become a more urgent problem in need of a dental filling or even root canal therapy.
If your tooth is chipped, you may experience numerous negative impacts, among them being:
The good news is that your Parramatta dentist at Painfree Dentistry can offer you several choices that repair a chipped tooth:

Dental Implants – Dental implants are a popular way to replace teeth; they are a durable, fixed option that is designed to look and feel natural. Dental implants can be used to replace multiple teeth or a single tooth.
It is not just about what we can do but what you can do too. The basics to keep your smile looking great are:
Brushing Daily – Brushing your teeth twice a day is essential to get rid of the bacteria and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Healthy Diet – Try to cut down on sugar, as sugar causes cavities and decay. Consider stopping smoking and try to avoid foods that stain your teeth, such as wine, tea, coffee and curry.

The most common complaint of Australians without confidence in their smiles is dim and discoloured teeth. But nearly as many are also embarrassed by tooth damage. Dr Alam and his team are experienced in correcting a whole range of tooth challenges, among them being:
If you suffer from one or even a combination of these challenges, we invite you to take the first step on the journey to smile improvement by setting up a smile consultation with our cosmetic dentists today.
Dr Alam takes a comprehensive approach to achieving an attractive smile. With a complete examination, he can evaluate the shape and symmetry of your teeth, as well as match your smile’s natural whiteness so that you can count on seamless results.
We use a full smile makeover to make sweeping changes for our patient’s teeth. This allows us to assess how your teeth work together to create a radiant smile and offer a custom combination of procedures, complete with different options for tackling specific problems so you can choose the treatment which fits you best.
Dr Alam graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Sydney in 1995. After working at various practices, Dr Alam opened his own practice in 1997 in Harris Park Village, located on the edge of the vibrant Parramatta CBD under the banner of Painfree Dentistry. The practice has grown to become the biggest privately owned practice in the Parramatta district, with seven dentists, an oral health therapist, and many supporting staff.

With 25 years of cosmetic dentistry experience, Dr Alam starts by listening intently to your vision for the ideal smile and what issues about your teeth bother you most. Then we give you choices among our full range of cosmetic dentistry options. Finally, here are some treatments and how they work to improve your smile.
Problems corrected: Tooth surface or extrinsic stains
We use Philips Zoom! In-chair whitening for stained teeth because it has a track record of immediate and excellent results without sacrificing safety. In less than an hour, you can enjoy a smile several shades whiter, which makes this ideal for significant events like weddings and reunions. We also offer laser teeth whitening.
Problems corrected: Both intrinsic and extrinsic stains, enamel damage, cracks, chips, uneven length and shapes
Veneers are thin shells of engineered porcelain or composite materials that we bond to the front-facing surfaces of teeth. Each type has its advantages, with the porcelain variety having a greater lifespan and the characteristic lustre of ceramic porcelain. Composite veneers, on the other hand, are a quicker and more cost-effective procedure.
Problems corrected: More severe damage on any or all tooth surfaces and more extensive fractures
A crown is a ceramic restoration that covers a tooth completely for total protection and restoration. We offer both lab-made and same-day dental crowns depending on your specific needs. Our CEREC process creates a crown designed and finished by Dr Alam in one visit.
Problems corrected: Missing teeth or tooth damage so severe that no natural tooth can be saved
Tooth implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement in Parramatta because they most closely resemble your natural tooth’s structure. Using a titanium artificial tooth root, Dr Alam places your implant directly into your jawbone for complete stability and unparalleled longevity. Dental implants can restore a single lost tooth or be used as part of a dental bridge or denture to replace multiple or even all your teeth.
Problems corrected: crooked or twisted teeth and bite misalignments
At Painfree Dentistry, we furnish the full range of orthodontic treatments, from Invisalign clear aligner therapy to traditional braces, as well as six-month smiles and other orthopaedic appliances. These treatments both straighten smiles and improve oral health, and nicely aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain.
Problems corrected: Numerous, but mainly allows you to visualise the results of cosmetic dentistry
Dr Alam is proud to offer this approach because it uses digital imagery to help create a smile that fits with your other facial features. Now you can experience your finished smile before any treatments have begun.
If you have smile ambitions, then the Painfree Dentistry team is here to help you on your journey towards that goal. We offer comprehensive cosmetic dental services for all your tooth improvement needs. Our goal is to supply such a range of procedures that you will always have a choice on which approach is the best fit for you.
We invite patients of all ages to our Parramatta dental clinic. We welcome you to call our friendly dental team to arrange a booking.
