General Dentistry

Keep your smile healthy for the rest of your life.

What is general dentistry?

General dentistry covers your regular dental check-ups and oral health procedures that keep your teeth and mouth healthy for life. A general dentist is responsible for diagnosing, treating and monitoring your overall oral health. Our aim is to provide comfortable and thorough assistance for all of your dental health needs. Treatment involves cleaning, scaling and polishing for children and adults.

Teeth Maintenance

Regular care is the best care. Ensure your teeth are always in the best possible condition with our teeth cleaning and polishing, routine maintenance and regular check-ups. Prevent later dental issues and keep your teeth clean.

Children’s Dentistry

At Oakleigh, we’re about family. Bringing your children in their early years shows them that the dentist is not a scary place, but keeps them healthy. We recommend children be brought once all of their baby teeth have erupted.

TMJ Disorder

The temporomandibular joint allows for movement of your jaw, but many people experience difficulty with the joint, leading to pain, limited movement and teeth grinding. An examination and care plan can keep you feeling comfortable.

How often should you have a dentist appointment?

It is generally recommended that both adults and children see the dentist as regularly as possible, but here are some more pointers. 

Adults

We recommend that adults come to a dental appointment at least once every six months to have a regular check-up of their oral health and a full scale and clean of their teeth. This helps the dentist stay on top of any worrying signs of decay or disease, and ensures your teeth stay as healthy as possible.

Children

In children and teens, the frequency is around the same with appointments recommended every 6 months and more frequently if they are undergoing any orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will advise if more frequent appointments are required. To make it convenient, we encourage families to come in together for their check-up.

Why oakleigh dental?

We understand that not everyone loves a visit to the dentist, but we hope to change that. By bringing in your children early, we can show them that a dental appointment isn’t scary but is educational, promotes healthy behaviours, and can be fun! Whatever stage of life you are in, having a reliable general dentist is important, and we take that responsibility seriously.
