Genetal Dental Check Up Burwood
At Burwood Diamond Dental, setting up your smile for success is our priority!
What Is General Dentistry?
Think about visiting a doctor or taking your car to the mechanic for regular service. A professional evaluation goes a long way in keeping your body and your vehicle running smoothly! Teeth are no different! Keeping up with your oral health avoids more significant problems further on in the future, and general dentistry aims to keep your teeth clean and looked after consistently. When we say ‘general dentistry,’ patients can expect the following:
- General exam of the jaws, face, neck, gums and oral tissues
- Teeth cleaning and thorough examination
- X-rays
- Fluoride treatment
- Advice on treatments
Regular check-ups offer the advantage of dealing with minor problems like cavities in their early stages. We can prevent more significant instances of decay that compromise tooth structures or damage the gums with preemptive care.
Getting Established with a Burwood Dentist You Can Trust
While we can perform some treatments with just one or two visits, Dr Khoshamadi takes the time to get to know his patients and their teeth. Establishing trust and solid relationships with our patients at Burwood Diamond Dental allows for more detailed record-keeping, knowledge of patient preference and overall, more personalised care in a familiar location.
Benefits of Getting General Dentistry in Burwood
Imagine only visiting a dentist when something really bothers your teeth or gums. Not only do you have to find help quickly (potentially from someone you don’t know very well), but you may also experience more pain and discomfort before finally getting into the dental chair. Getting established with a familiar clinic and scheduling routine check-ups can sometimes avoid the need for some potentially costly procedures such as:
- Tooth extractions
- Root canal treatments
- Placement of dental crowns or bridges
- Dental implants
When the need for treatment arises, we are here to help with tooth fillings, crowns, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, emergency dentistry, and tooth extraction.
Patients can benefit from regular cleanings and advice on lifestyle habits like diet, choice of toothpaste and mouthwash. Visiting a dentist twice a year can also offer peace of mind when it comes to knowing the status of your teeth! Having an idea of where you stand regarding your oral health can assist in making informed decisions when it comes to procedures or cosmetic dental options. Patients with a consistent history of good oral health can more easily undergo treatments like teeth whitening or potentially consider teeth alignment options like SmileStyler or Invisalign.

Answers to questions you may have
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
How often should I have a dental check-up?
For most people, every six months is recommended. However, if you have gum disease, frequent decay, diabetes, or wear braces, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits to keep your oral health under control.
Will I need X-rays at every appointment?
Not always. X-rays are only recommended when they’re clinically necessary. They help detect problems that cannot be seen during a visual examination, such as decay between teeth, infections or bone loss. Your dentist will explain why X-rays are needed before taking them.
Can a regular check-up prevent expensive dental treatment?
In many cases, yes. Identifying cavities, cracked teeth or gum disease early often means they can be treated with simpler procedures before they develop into problems that require root canal treatment, crowns or tooth extraction.
What if it's been several years since my last dental visit?
There’s no need to worry or feel embarrassed. Many patients return after several years away from the dentist. The goal is simply to assess your current oral health, explain any findings clearly and help you move forward with a treatment plan that suits your needs.
Can you check for gum disease during a routine examination?
Yes. Your dentist will examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, gum recession and bone loss. Detecting gum disease early gives you the best chance of preventing long-term damage and tooth loss.
What should I do if the dentist finds a problem?
Your dentist will explain what has been found, discuss your treatment options and answer any questions before any treatment begins. You’ll receive clear recommendations so you can make an informed decision without feeling rushed.
