What Brings Karrinyup Patients to the Dentist?
Whether you are due for a routine check-up or dealing with a specific issue, here is a quick guide to help you identify which service may be most relevant:
- It has been a while since your last check-up: Check and clean
- Toothache, sensitivity, or a broken tooth: Examination and treatment (may involve fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction)
- Bleeding gums, bad breath, or loose teeth: Periodontal (gum) care
- Wisdom tooth pain, swelling, or impaction: Wisdom teeth removal
- Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures: Dentures (or dental implants)
- Your child is due for their first or regular dental visit: Children’s dental care
- Playing contact sport or grinding your teeth at night: Custom mouthguards and night guards
- Anxiety or bad past experiences with dentists: Dental anxiety and pain control
If you are not sure where to start, a consultation is the best way to understand your options. Dr Yap examines your teeth, discusses any concerns, and explains what (if any) treatment is recommended.
Check and Clean
At Odin House Dental, a standard check and clean takes 30 to 45 minutes and is offered for $220 to $350 (X-rays additional if indicated). Regular check-ups catch small issues before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems.
A standard check and clean at Odin House Dental includes:
- Clinical examination of your teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues
- Digital X-rays as needed, to check between teeth and below the gumline
- Professional scale and polish to remove plaque, tartar, and surface staining
- Oral hygiene review with tailored advice based on what we see
- Fluoride treatment where appropriate
For most patients, a check and clean every 6 months is recommended. Patients with a history of gum disease or other specific concerns may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr Yap discusses an appropriate interval with you based on your situation.
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Dr Yap assesses gum health at every check-up at Odin House Dental. Early gum inflammation (gingivitis) often resolves with a professional clean and improved home care; advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may require deeper cleaning below the gumline, antimicrobial therapy, or in some cases referral for more involved treatment. Untreated periodontitis is a leading cause of adult tooth loss.
Common signs of gum disease to watch for:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums that appear to be receding, or teeth that look longer
- Loose teeth or changes in how your bite feels
If any of these signs are present, mention them at your next appointment so the level of treatment needed can be assessed.
For more than 20 years, we’ve cared for patients from suburbs across Perth, helping families maintain their oral health and improve their smiles.
Root Canal Therapy
At Odin House Dental, straightforward root canal therapy is completed in one to two visits at our Innaloo practice for $1,200 to $2,500 (varies by tooth, as molars are more complex). Treatment is recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged; without it the infection can spread, and the tooth may need to be extracted.
Signs you may need root canal therapy:
- Persistent, severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed
- Swelling or tenderness in the gum near a tooth
- Darkening or discolouration of a single tooth
- A cracked or injured tooth, or one with a very large filling
Treatment involves removing the affected pulp, cleaning and sealing the inside of the tooth, and restoring it with a filling or crown afterwards. With modern techniques and effective local anaesthesia, root canal therapy is typically no more uncomfortable than a standard filling. More complex cases (curved canals, retreatment, or unusual anatomy) may be referred to an endodontist when appropriate.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth (the third molars at the back of the mouth) typically appear between ages 17 and 25. Not all wisdom teeth cause problems, but when there isn’t enough room for them to come through properly, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth.
Wisdom tooth removal may be recommended if you have:
- Impaction (the tooth cannot fully erupt or is angled incorrectly)
- Recurring infection or swelling around the wisdom tooth
- Decay that is difficult to treat because of poor access
- Crowding or damage to adjacent teeth
- Cysts or other changes visible on X-ray
At Odin House Dental, wisdom tooth removal is planned using 3D CBCT imaging so the position of the tooth, the surrounding bone, and nearby nerves can be clearly assessed. Straightforward extractions are performed in-chair under local anaesthesia for $300 to $600 per tooth, with sedation options available for patients who prefer them. Fully impacted lower wisdom teeth, cases requiring general anaesthesia, or patients with complex medical histories may be referred to an oral surgeon when appropriate.

Dentures
Dr Yap fits full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported overdentures at Odin House Dental, typically completed across four to five appointments. Costs range from $1,800 to $3,500 per arch depending on the material and whether the denture is implant-supported. Dental implants are often a more stable long-term alternative, but dentures remain a practical and more affordable choice for many patients.
Odin House Dental provides three types of denture:
- Full dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch (or both)
- Partial dentures: Fill gaps where some natural teeth remain
- Implant-supported dentures (overdentures): Anchored to dental implants for improved stability and bite function
Dentures are custom-made to your mouth and adjusted over a series of fitting appointments. Existing dentures that have become loose over time can often be relined rather than replaced, which is typically a less expensive option than starting from scratch. If you are weighing up dentures against implants, Dr Yap can walk through the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.
Mouthguards and Night Guards
Custom-fitted mouthguards and night guards are made from impressions or digital scans of your teeth. They offer noticeably better protection and comfort than over-the-counter alternatives.
Sports mouthguards protect against dental injury during contact sports like football, rugby, hockey, boxing, and martial arts. A fractured front tooth typically costs $1,500 to $2,500 per crown to repair, and the tooth may need ongoing restoration over time. A custom sports mouthguard at Odin House Dental is $200 to $400.
Night guards (occlusal splints) are designed for patients who grind or clench their teeth during sleep. This habit (bruxism) can wear teeth down, cause jaw pain or headaches, and damage existing restorations. A night guard distributes force away from the teeth and reduces impact on the jaw joint.
Both types are made at our Innaloo practice and fitted to your individual bite.
Dental Anxiety and Pain Control
Dental anxiety is common. If past experiences, the sounds, the smell of the clinic, or the thought of the chair itself makes you hesitate to book an appointment, you are not alone. At Odin House Dental, we take an accommodating approach for patients who find dental visits difficult.
Odin House Dental offers these sedation and comfort options for nervous patients:
- Oral sedation: A tablet taken before the appointment to help you relax
- Nitrous oxide (happy gas): Inhaled through a small mask; wears off quickly after the appointment
- IV sedation (twilight sedation): A deeply relaxed, semi-conscious state, useful for longer or more involved procedures
- Clear communication: We explain what we are doing at each step and pause when you need a break
- No-pressure consultations: Many nervous patients start with a chat-only consultation to meet the team and see the practice before any treatment is planned
If dental anxiety has kept you away for a long time, the first step is often just picking up the phone. Call (08) 9468 7182 and let us know how we can help.
Children’s Dental Care
Odin House Dental accepts the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for eligible children, covering up to $1,132 over two calendar years for basic dental services (check-ups, cleans, fillings, extractions, X-rays, and root canals). First visits are recommended around age 1 or when the first tooth appears, and positive early experiences set the tone for how children feel about dental visits for life.
Children’s dental services at Odin House Dental include:
- First dental visits: Recommended around age 1 or when the first tooth appears
- Regular check-ups: Monitoring tooth development, jaw growth, and bite
- Preventive care: Fluoride treatment, fissure sealants, and oral hygiene coaching tailored to the child’s age
- Unrushed approach: We take our time with young patients so visits feel manageable, not rushed
If your child is due for their first visit, or if you are looking for a family-friendly dental practice in Perth’s northern suburbs, you are welcome at Odin House Dental.
