General dentistry FAQs
This is general information only. Your dentist can answer your questions at your appointment.
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy. It covers preventing, diagnosing and treating common dental problems, including check-ups, cleans, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal treatment and dentures.
How often should I see a general dentist?
Most people should have a check up every six months. If you have good oral health, your dentist may recommend every 12 months instead. Your dentist lets you know what suits you.
What are the benefits of regular check-ups?
Regular check-ups help your dentist find problems like decay, gum disease and infection early, while they’re usually simpler to fix. A professional clean also removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can miss.
What happens at a check up and clean?
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and mouth, and may take X-rays. They talk with you about any concerns, then your teeth are professionally cleaned. Learn about our check up and clean.
Can general dentistry improve the look of my smile?
Some general treatments, like tooth-coloured fillings and crowns, are designed to blend with your natural teeth. If you’d like to change the look of your smile, your dentist can talk you through cosmetic options. See cosmetic dentistry.
Do you see the whole family?
Yes. Our dentists look after patients of all ages, from a child’s first visit to older adults, and you can book family members in back to back. Learn about family dentistry.
What’s the difference between a general dentist and a specialist?
A general dentist provides a wide range of everyday dental care, including check-ups, cleans, fillings, crowns, root canal treatment and dentures. A specialist is a dentist who has completed further university training in one area of dentistry and is registered as a specialist with the Dental Board of Australia. Your general dentist can refer you to a specialist if you need one.
