What is General Dentistry?

General dentistry is a broad field of dental care that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of common oral health issues. It encompasses routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings and extractions, as well as treatments for gum disease. Unlike restorative dentistry, which addresses severe dental problems and involves procedures such as crowns or implants, general dentistry services primarily aim to maintain and improve oral health before serious issues arise.

Dental Clinic Bentleigh

In order to keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible, having regular dental check-ups is essential. A general dentistry dentist can evaluate your mouth and determine if there are any problems that haven’t started to show symptoms. When these problems are identified early on, they’re often easier and more affordable to treat. Regular check-ups with routine cleans can also help to keep your mouth healthy, preventing problems such as cavities and gum disease, as well as providing an opportunity to learn about proper oral hygiene practices and diet. Our team is committed to providing valuable education on how to maintain your smile for life.

Our General Dentistry Services

Our experienced and professional dentists can perform the following general dentistry procedures:

Wisdom Teeth Surgery

Our general family dentistry team can assist with wisdom teeth removal for wisdom teeth that are causing toothache, crowding of the teeth, decay or jaw pain. To ensure the comfort of our patients, we offer a range of sedation options for the procedure as well as sufficient pain relief for the recovery period.

Root Canal Therapy

Our dentists can perform root canal therapy for teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. A root canal involves the root of a tooth being removed, with the space then filled and sealed to prevent infection.

Fillings

Tooth fillings are one of the most common general dentistry procedures sought out by patients. At East Bentleigh Dental Group, we offer all white dental fillings that are made from composite resin material – a healthier and more aesthetic alternative to metal amalgam fillings. These fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth for a natural look.

Gum Surgery

Our general dentistry dentist can perform procedures to improve the health and appearance of gum tissue. Our gum surgery options include gum contouring, gum grafts and gum enhancement using laser dentistry.

Dental Hygiene

Good oral hygiene is the foundation of dental health. Our hygienists can provide professional cleanings, plaque removal and personalised advice to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular cleanings reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease while keeping your smile bright.

Extractions

When a tooth is unable to be saved, we can perform safe and gentle extractions. Our team ensures minimal discomfort and proper aftercare to promote healing.

Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

For patients needing advanced care, we offer oral surgery options such as dental implants. Implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.

Sleep Apnoea Treatments

We offer dental appliances to help manage sleep apnoea and improve breathing during sleep. These custom devices are designed to improve quality of life by reducing snoring and allowing for more restful sleep.

Sealants, Scaling, & Root Planing

Sealants are a preventative measure to protect molars from cavities, while scaling and root planing are effective treatments for gum disease, helping to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline for healthier gums.

Orthodontics, Including Invisalign & Invisible Braces

Our general dentistry and orthodontics options include Invisalign and other invisible braces designed to straighten teeth discreetly. These treatments are ideal for patients looking to enhance their smile without traditional braces

We recommend visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Regular general dentistry visits can help catch potential problems early and ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.

General dentistry services focus on maintaining oral health and treating common dental issues, while cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of the teeth. Many patients combine the two for comprehensive care.

Dental cleanings are generally not painful, especially if you maintain good oral hygiene. For patients with sensitive gums, we take extra care to ensure comfort during the procedure.

The cost can vary depending on the specific services required and your individual needs. At EBDG, we pride ourselves on providing affordable general dentistry with transparent pricing. Contact us for a detailed price estimate.

You can prevent cavities by brushing twice a day, flossing daily and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings. A healthy diet low in sugar and the use of fluoride toothpaste can also help reduce the risk of cavities.
