General Dental Services

As we embrace longer, healthier lives, our adult teeth endure the journey from ages 6 to 12 without the ability to renew themselves. With an average life expectancy in Australia reaching 82.9 years, our teeth face potential challenges such as decay, wear and tear, cracks, and gum issues. At Murdoch Dental & Implant Centre, we’re committed to ensuring that you can continue to eat, talk, and smile with confidence in your 80s, just as you did in your 20s.

The Importance of General Dentistry:

Our teeth tell a unique story, influenced by daily activities like eating, chewing, and even the way we brush our teeth. Factors such as diet, stress-induced teeth grinding, and variations in oral hygiene practices contribute to the wear and tear of our teeth. Some teeth may wear down faster than others, leading to potential cracks and weakened structures.

Teeth Grinding and Stress:

Periods of stress can result in teeth grinding, whether during the day or while asleep. Regular visits to a general dentist allow us to detect signs of grinding early on and provide preventive measures, such as custom occlusal splints.

Diet and Oral Hygiene:

Diet plays a significant role, especially for those who consume acidic foods or items high in sugar, leading to plaque buildup and potential health issues for your teeth. Inconsistent oral hygiene practices during periods such as adolescence, holidays, or high-stress times can contribute to decay.

Why Choose General Dentistry:

The cumulative impact of these factors underscores the importance of regular general dentistry services. Being proactive in seeking dental treatment as needed can prevent irreversible damage and ensure optimal oral health.

General Dentistry Treatments:

Our general dentistry services focus on maintaining the health of your teeth and gums throughout your life. We prioritise preventive care to minimize the need for extensive treatments. Our services include regular gum cleans to support gum health and address issues like periodontal disease, which can result in irreversible gum recession and potential tooth loss.

Teeth naturally wear over time, affecting chewing efficiency and altering bite strength. Through routine general dentistry services, we restore worn teeth, ensuring they function as well as new ones.

Detecting and Addressing Issues Early:

Early detection of issues such as cracks in teeth allows for prompt intervention. Strengthening compromised teeth with treatments like ceramic crowns or fillings prevents potential fractures and the need for tooth replacement.

Our General Dentistry Treatments Include:

  • White Fillings
  • Crowns
  • Tooth Replacements
  • Mouthguards
  • Root Canal Therapy
  • CAD/CAM Dentistry

 

What to Expect in a General Dental Check-Up:

Our comprehensive general dental check-up involves a thorough examination of teeth, gums, soft tissues, and bite. Utilizing clinical photos, x-rays, and 3D digital scans, we monitor changes over time, ensuring early detection and intervention.

What General Dentists Check For:

During your check-up, we assess the health of your teeth, gums, lips, tongue, soft tissues, and bite, ensuring everything functions optimally and identifies any potential issues.

How Often Should You Get a General Dental Check-Up?

For most adults, we recommend a general dental check-up every six months, though frequency may vary based on individual dental health.

I had the best experience with Murdoch Dental, all the staff were brilliant, professional and kind. I contacted them several times during the healing process of my wisdom tooth extraction, and they went above and beyond each time to alleviate any worries I had. Cannot fault a single aspect of this experience and I recommend them for anyone looking to get dental work completed in the future. Thank you, Murdoch Dental.

Very good experience my first time there as there was a little bit of pain while doing the removal of my tooth because of an infection but the dentist did a good job. Her assistant was also very supportive and very helpful. Thank you. 🥰💗

Great dentists, really friendly staff, not wildly expensive. They’ve fixed a few issues for me after a lot of years of neglecting my teeth, and they’ve made it far less traumatic than I was worried it was going to be. Definitely recommend.
