Your Path to Pain-Free Living

At Synergy Dental Group, we understand that a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder (TMD) can disrupt your daily life, causing pain and discomfort. Our dedicated team in Parkdale, Vic is committed to eliminating this pain, correcting the underlying problems, and supporting you throughout your entire treatment journey.

A Closer Look at TMJ Disorders

The TMJ is a remarkable ‘sliding’ joint, connecting the lower jaw bone to the temporal bone, which forms part of the side and base of the skull. When this hinge doesn’t function as it should, it can lead to significant pain and discomfort.
TMD symptoms include:
  • Pain in TMJ or Facial Muscles
  • Headaches
  • Jaw Pain
  • Ear Pain
  • Facial Pain

    Comprehensive Dental Treatments for Every Need

    Our specialized treatments are designed to cater to a diverse range of dental needs, ensuring that you receive the individualized care you deserve.

    Frequently Asked, Expertly Answered!

    Our clinic has strict anti-infection protocols and other precautions in place. We are taking every measure necessary to ensure the safety of our patients, our team and our community.

     

    We generally recommend that you come to see us twice a year. However, the frequency of visits to our dental office varies depending on an individual’s needs. For example, if you have gum disease or a heavy tartar build-up you may need to come more frequently for cleanings and check-ups.

     

    Dental x-rays are an important part of any dental health routine and help our dentist diagnose problems that are not visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, if you do have dental health problems, such as periodontal disease, x-rays are key to monitoring the status of the problem and how effective any treatments are. If you haven’t had a check-up in a while, now is the perfect time to schedule one!

     

    We are a brand new practice with 1 dentist currently. However, we will soon be increasing to 4 and also have plans for a dental hygienist and more dental assistants very shortly. So watch this space!

     

    We currently have panoramic x-rays (OPG) that rotate around the head and give us a complete picture of your mouth. We are also planning to offer nitrous oxide sedation, 3D scanner and laser dentistry shortly.

     

    We offer a range of filling materials at our Parkdale dental centre including composite, white dental fillings. These provide a good cosmetic result as they match your existing teeth to give a natural-looking appearance.
