Gum Disease, otherwise known as Periodontal Disease is defined as inflammation of the gums, caused by a bacterial infection. 🦷🦷

▫️If left untreated, Gum disease may cause the bone to shrink, resulting in mobile teeth and an increased risk of tooth loss.

▫️Attending to 6 monthly maintenance visits, in conjunction with at home oral hygiene eliminates your risk of developing gum disease. 🦷🪥🪥

Here are the Signs & Symptoms to look out for

🦷Red, Inflammed gums

🦷Bad Breath

🦷Bleeding upon brushing / flossing &

🦷Mobile teeth

Dental at Keys

We are a modern dental practice that wants to change the way you think about your teeth. We offer general dental, cosmetic dental, implants and orthodontics. We want to provide the best dental care for our community by not rushing you in and out but instead, making sure you’re in control every step of the way, doing quality work and upholding the best infection control. We do this by having a great team of highly trained and empathetic staff and clinicians to support you in your dental health. We have a keen focus on treating your oral health as a whole, not just focusing on your teeth. This includes assessing everything that can affect your oral health- your breathing (airway), your dental history, your habits, your smile, your goals to name a few. That’s our comprehensive care promise to you.

We also pride ourselves on keeping up to date with latest technology in dental, including an intra-oral mouth scanner. We even have TVs on the ceiling to try to keep you entertained during those long (and fun?) dental appointments!

We would love to meet you and find out more about you. We understand that your mouth is a very important and a very personal space and we thank you for trusting us with your care.

Dental at Keys is located on the first floor in the Medical Centre at the Woolworths Keysborough South Shopping Centre which is conveniently located at the corner of Chapel Road and Hutton/Greens Road. We service nearby surrounding suburbs such as Waterways, Dingley Village, Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Braeside, Chelsea, Springvale, Springvale South, Noble Park and Dandenong.

All major health funds are accepted with on-the-spot claiming through HICAPS. Eligible children are bulk-billed under the Medicare Child Benefits Schedule (up to $1132) and all Veterans Affair’s patients.

Dental at Keys is a proud member of the HCF Teeth for Life program, CBHS Choice Network and the Westfund Choice Network.
