What is General Dental Treatment?

General dental treatment focuses on maintaining the overall health and functionality of your teeth and gums. By addressing both preventive and restorative needs, general dentistry is essential in preventing problems like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss while promoting a strong, confident smile. Our goal is to make sure you and your family enjoy lifelong oral health with a comfortable, compassionate approach to care.

Our General Dental Services

Here’s a look at some of the general dental treatments we offer at George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst:

1. Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings
   Regular exams and professional cleanings are the foundation of oral health. During these visits, we check for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns, while also removing plaque and tartar to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
2. Digital X-Rays and Diagnostic Imaging
   Advanced imaging helps us get a clear view of your oral health. Digital X-rays are fast, safe, and allow us to detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as impacted teeth, cavities between teeth, or early signs of bone loss.
3. Fillings for Cavity Treatment
   If you have a cavity, a filling will restore your tooth’s structure and prevent further decay. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings for a natural appearance, blending seamlessly with your smile.
4. Gum Disease Treatment
   Gum disease can progress without noticeable symptoms, which is why regular check-ups are essential. Our team provides effective treatment options for both early and advanced gum disease to restore the health of your gums and prevent further complications.
5. Tooth Extractions
   Sometimes, a tooth may need to be removed due to decay, injury, or crowding. Our team performs extractions with care and precision, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. We also discuss replacement options to restore your smile.
6. Root Canal Therapy
   When a tooth is severely infected or damaged, a root canal can save it from extraction. This procedure removes the infected tissue, preserving your natural tooth and relieving any pain, while restoring function.
7. Crowns and Bridges
   Crowns and bridges are used to restore the appearance and function of damaged or missing teeth. Crowns cover and protect a damaged tooth, while bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, creating a complete, functional smile.
8. Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
   Preventive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride applications provide extra protection for teeth that are prone to decay, especially for children. Sealants cover the grooves of back teeth, while fluoride strengthens enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.

Why Regular General Dental Treatment is Important

Routine dental care is vital to maintaining not only oral health but also overall health. Many dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, can develop slowly and without pain in the early stages. Regular check-ups allow us to catch these problems early, preventing more extensive (and costly) treatments down the road. Additionally, oral health has been shown to impact heart health, diabetes, and other medical conditions, making it an essential part of your overall wellness.
