Noosa General Dental Checkups
What Is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Regular monitoring and general dentistry allow us to identify issues early, and empower you to maintain your teeth to an excellent standard.
- Prevent bacteria, tartar and cavity build-up
- Find and treat dental issues early
- Helping you care for your teeth
Our general dentists have many years of experience treating conditions ranging from simple cleanings to complex full-mouth conditions. We work to develop long-term relationships with clients across Noosa in a clean, calm and comfortable environment.
What To Expect During a Dental Checkup
Local Dental Treatments
At Noosa Family Dental, we employ a 5-step plan in many of our general dental appointments to ensure that you not only leave with a brighter smile but also a better understanding of your oral health and how to maintain it. Our goal is to attend to any necessary issues we find and to better equip you with the knowledge you need to maintain a healthy smile.
1. Talk
Our general checkup appointments give you the opportunity to discuss any concerns about your teeth, from small chips and colour concerns to their overall appearance. The checkup is also a great time to talk about long-term strategies to improve the look and health of your teeth.
2. Look & Diagnose
Dental check-up appointments allow our general dentist to thoroughly examine your entire mouth - teeth, gum and soft tissues. We can detect disease early and will recommend the appropriate action to correct it. Digital x-rays are used every 2-5 years depending on a patient’s risk and allow us to detect decay between teeth and under crowns.
3. Teach
When you visit our Noosa dental practice, the team will provide you with all of the tools and strategies to maintain good dental health hygiene at home. We assess your oral hygiene and refine your knowledge and approach based on what we find. Our friendly staff makes sure that patients leave our practice with excellent tips on how to brush, floss and rinse their mouths properly.
4. Clean
Thorough professional dental cleaning with ultrasonic instruments and polishing tools removes build-up hard deposits which your toothbrush alone can not remove. If left untreated, these deposits can turn into gingivitis, tooth decay and other serious oral health issues.
With the professionals at Noosa Family Dental, our services are designed to eliminate any build-up and prevent the development of cavities. Preventing a cavity is better than filling one!
5. Plan
We can discuss the pros and cons of certain dental treatments and develop a strategy that is best suited to your oral health goals.

What Our Clients Say
General Dentistry FAQs
Learn More About General Dentistry
Many dental problems are symptomless until they reach their advanced stage. This is why it’s important to visit the dentist regularly so that any problems can be diagnosed and treated early on.
Unfortunately, people do not visit the dentist regularly, and will only make an appointment when there is a problem! This is often done to save money, but many patients end up with expensive treatment procedures that could have been prevented by earlier checkups and minor treatments. Professional cleanings by a dentist or hygienist are also more thorough than at-home brushing and flossing, and can remove tartar and plaque that cause gum disease.
In short, regular dental checkups are important because they can help to prevent major problems from developing, identify any existing problems early on, and keep your smile looking its best!
As we eat and drink, plaque and bacteria begin to form on our teeth. If not removed, this plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. That is why brushing and flossing are important.
While brushing removes plaque from the surfaces of our teeth, flossing cleans in between the teeth where brush bristles cannot reach. This helps to remove plaque and bacteria and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Dental x-rays are needed to help find problems with the teeth, gums and bones that cannot be seen during a regular dental exam. The general dentist may perform X-rays to see bone infections, gum disease, decay between the teeth or under dental restorations, abscesses or cysts, certain tumours and developmental issues.
While this may seem unnecessary, detecting and treating dental problems early can save money, time and unnecessary discomfort.
We know that visiting the dentist is a daunting experience for a lot of patients - young and old. However, avoiding the dentist and regular dental checkups can only hurt you later. Not only is at home oral maintenance important but having a reliable dentist is the key to optimal oral health.
Depending on your needs, overall dental health, decay risk and oral hygiene the frequency of a general checkup is typically once every six months. However, we understand that life gets in the way and are able to tailor our recommendation to fit you and your needs.
