What is a Dental Therapist?

A Dental Therapist can do everything a hygienist can do but can also undertake a number of extended duties including Routine Examinations, Filling Restorations, Cosmetic Composite bonding & Veneers. They can also further train in facial aesthetics.

They can also complete full treatment on children including crowns and extractions.

Why see a Therapist and not a dentist?

Both Therapists and Dentists can complete restorative work to the same level of expertise and finish. While emergency pain patients are usually recommended to see a dentist in case of root canal a therapist can take care of most dental needs.

Dental Therapists tend to see their patients more often (every 2-6 months) and they can find patients feel more comfortable opening up about any concerns they have.

Nice to meet you...
