My Family Dental: Ingham Orthodontic
If you’re in Ingham, accessing our top-notch orthodontic care is easier than you might think. Our Ingham orthodontics specialises in the expert practice of aligning teeth, utilizing braces, retainers, and bands to correct misalignments. Beyond cosmetic benefits, orthodontic treatment addresses functional issues such as improved oral hygiene, preventing bad breath, cavities, and gum disease, while also addressing bite problems like overbites or underbites that can affect chewing and eating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a crown when my tooth can have a filling?
Reliable dental professionals like ours provide crowns and fillings to hundreds of customers who come in to see our dentist. Ingham dental services at My Family Dental strive to provide access to oral health for everyone, but we also want to ensure our patients enjoy value for money. If a filling will suffice, we will never recommend a crown, and our dental care professionals will always provide reliable advice.
For example, we might use a crown to patch or restabilise a severely fractured, decayed, or damaged tooth (and fillings). It is an excellent solution for treating minor cases of tooth decay, as well as small chips and dents. Below, we provide a general guide on when to expect a crown:
- If the dentist recommends a dental crown, it is likely that there is severe damage from cavities, gum disease, or previous injuries. The patient generally needs something to stabilise, cover, and strengthen the tooth.
- Crowns require impressions and manufacturing. Where possible, we might use tooth fillings instead to repair small holes or indentations from untreated dental plaque (it is cheaper and less invasive).
- If cavity damage reaches a tipping point, our dentist will not be able to remove decayed enamel, dentin, or pulp without compromising the integrity of the teeth—crowns become a necessity to preserve oral health.
Thankfully, My Family Dental provides high-quality and cost-efficient crowns and fillings whenever you need them.
How do I make payments?
We accommodate payments from all legally recognised health funds in Australia, such as:
- Bupa
- Medibank
- NIB
- AHM
- HCF
- CBHS Health Fund
- Uni Health
- And more
Our customer service team will be happy to figure out a payment scheme to suit your needs.
I have very sensitive teeth when breathing in or drinking cold drinks. What should I do?
Teeth start shedding enamel with time and use, exposing nerve-covered surfaces of dentin and increasing sensitivity. Around 20% of Australians over 14 years purchase toothpaste for sensitive teeth every six months, so it is a common problem. Our oral health professionals recommend the following short-term fixes if you would like to wait to seek treatment:
- Drinking cold beverages using sustainable straws
- Licking through frozen desserts instead of biting them
- Breathing through your nose in cold weather
- Using soft-bristled toothbrushes
Our dentists typically notice discolouration, gum swelling, and abscesses in patients with hypersensitivity to hot and cold food, and there are many solutions. For example, we may recommend a course of antibiotics or, in severe cases, a root canal for long-term relief. The earlier you seek treatment with us, the better.
Do you have to get braces before veneers?
Orthodontists from My Family Dental advocate for keeping natural teeth as long as possible, so we may recommend solutions like braces before suggesting permanent veneers. Some patience could save you hours of drilling and tooth extractions, with short-term braces lasting up to four months. Taking this route could provide the teeth with a pre-prosthetic alignment before veneer installation.
What surrounding areas do you serve?
Our office is proud to serve multiple locations in Queensland. My Family Dental currently serves Bohle Plains, Bowen, Emerald, Townsville, Innisfail, and Kirwan.
Choosing a reliable dentist can be challenging. Our dental clinic makes choosing easy by providing more accessible locations, giving you easier access to quality dental care. From child dental treatments to root canals and wisdom teeth removal, our team at My Family Dental can accurately diagnose your dental issue and provide the right treatment options.
What is a dental emergency?
Our Ingham patients often experience non-specific dental discomfort, but some dental emergencies should not wait, including:
- oral bleeding,
- infection,
- blunt trauma, and
- sudden intense pain.
