General Dentistry in Perth

General Dentistry in Perth

General dentistry is the routine, preventive side of dental care. It’s the regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning that stop problems like plaque and tartar, plus the everyday treatments that fix them when they do: same-day dental crowns, fillings, extractions and X-rays. We aim to catch small issues early while they’re still simple to treat.

Your Family’s Dentist in Subiaco

As a general dentist in Perth, we see the whole family. From a child’s first visit through to older patients managing dentures or dry mouth, we’re always here. If something comes up that needs restorative or cosmetic work, we handle most of that in-house too. Been a while since your last general dentist visit? No problem – we focus on what’s happening now, so you get the treatment you need without pressure or judgement.

Why Regular Dental Care Matters

Why Regular Dental Care Matters

Most oral health problems are far easier to deal with early. A small cavity, a bit of gum inflammation or a cracked filling can go unnoticed until you need a root canal or extraction. A regular check-up lets us spot the early signs of decay and gum disease before they become painful problems. We can also check what’s changed since your last visit and monitor previous dental work.

How Often Should You See a Dentist?

Australian Government health guidance recommends people with stable oral health should book a general dentistry check-up at least once or twice a year. If you smoke or have a history of gum disease, you might need to visit more often. Your dentist will suggest a schedule based on your teeth, gums, medical history and previous treatment.

General Dentistry FAQs

Quick answers to common questions about general dentistry in Perth, from check-up frequency to whether we’re taking new patients.

How often should I have a dental check-up in Perth?

Most people should have a check-up every six to 12 months, depending on their teeth and gums. Active gum disease, repeated tooth decay, implants, smoking or a high risk of dental problems may mean more frequent visits. Your dentist will set the right interval with you.

What does a dental check-up include?

A dental check-up includes a full examination of your teeth, gums and bite, a check for the early signs of decay and gum disease, and a quick screen for oral cancer. We take X-rays only if they’re needed, such as when something can’t be assessed properly by sight alone or if you don’t have recent scans. A dental check-up is usually paired with a teeth cleaning in Perth.

Does teeth cleaning hurt?

Teeth cleaning shouldn’t hurt, though it can feel a little sensitive if your gums are inflamed or it’s been a while since your last visit. Let us know if an area is tender, and we’ll adjust. Most people find our teeth cleaning in Perth more comfortable than they expected.

Are you accepting new patients in Subiaco?

Do you offer more than general dentistry?
