General dentistry is uniquely oriented toward the prevention of diseases and damage.
General dentists help people prevent the development of oral diseases and can often detect general diseases.
If ignored, these eventually result in pain, lost time at work or school, and an approximate cost of billions of dollars each year.
At a routine visit to your Glen Waverley dentist, you will undergo a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures, a professional cleaning, and a discussion about your overall dental well-being.
If your examination shows the presence of tooth decay, you will probably also need to get your tooth filled.
Modern dentistry offers many approaches to keep your teeth healthy, functional and beautiful.
These include:
Cleanings and oral examinations, to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and detect early signs of dental disease.
Crowns and bridges, to replace lost tooth structure and/or missing teeth.
Dental implants, to replace teeth that last forever.
Tooth extractions, to remove unhealthy teeth that cannot be restored.
Tooth-coloured fillings, to restore decayed teeth.
Oral cancer screening, to detect dangerous diseases that can be cured if caught early.
Orthodontics, to give you the straight teeth you’ve always wanted.
Removable dentures, to help you smile again despite losing your teeth.
Root canal treatment, to rescue diseased teeth.
Dental sealants, to help prevent cavities.
TMJ disease treatment, for pain in the jaw area that can affect biting and chewing.
Tooth decay prevention, to keep your natural teeth as long as possible.
Recent studies indicate that there is a link between oral health and general health.
Keeping your teeth and gums in their best condition is a simple yet important way to help maintain good overall health.
Healthy teeth are equally important as healthy gums.
It is therefore very important that we keep our teeth and gums healthy by:
