The Value of Ongoing General Dental Care Explained
- Dental Problem Detection
Regular dental checkups help detect early signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues before they cause pain or complications. Early detection often means simpler, more effective treatment with better long-term outcomes.
- Preventive Oral Care
Preventive dental care in Bunbury includes consultation and professional cleaning to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. It lowers the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Consistent dental visits support long-term oral health.
- Cost-effective Dental Treatment
Addressing dental problems early often requires less invasive care and fewer appointments. Regular checkups help prevent costly treatments and complications. This makes ongoing dental care more affordable in the long term.
- Supports General Health
Oral health is closely linked to overall well-being, including heart health and diabetes management. Regular dental care helps reduce gum inflammation, prevent infection, and detect early signs of potential systemic health issues.
General Dental Treatments at Eversmile Dental
Dental Check-ups
We provide dental checkups to help maintain oral health and detect issues early. Each visit includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite. Regular checkups support preventive care, monitor changes over time, and contribute to long-term oral health for patients of all ages.
Scale and Clean
A professional scale and clean removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing alone can’t reach. We recommend this regularly to help prevent gum disease and support long-term oral health. It’s a simple, effective way to keep your mouth feeling fresh and your smile looking clean and healthy.
Tooth Fillings
Small areas of decay or damage can be restored using durable, tooth-coloured fillings tailored to your smile. This helps preserve tooth function, maintain structure, and reduce the risk of further problems. Each case is carefully assessed before recommending the most appropriate treatment based on clinical findings.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth removal may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged to be restored or causes crowding or infection. We perform extractions carefully to reduce discomfort and support proper healing. This helps prevent further issues and maintain long-term oral health and overall well-being for every patient.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are assessed to determine if they may cause pain, infection, or crowding in the mouth. Removal is recommended when they impact surrounding teeth and gums or cause recurring discomfort or swelling. We provide careful evaluation, discuss individual needs, and explain all available treatment options during your consultation.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used when the inside of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The procedure aims to relieve discomfort and preserve the natural tooth. We carry out this treatment with care to support long-term oral health and help you comfortably maintain your smile.
Custom Mouthguards
We make custom-fitted mouthguards for children, teens, and adults who play contact or high-impact sports. Each mouthguard is shaped to fit comfortably and protect teeth from injury. A proper fit helps reduce the risk of dental trauma during training, games, or other recreational and competitive activities.
Nightguards
Custom nightguards are used to manage teeth grinding or clenching during sleep. They help protect teeth from wear, damage, and fractures. Wearing a nightguard regularly may help ease jaw tension and prevent related headaches. It can also improve sleep quality, overall comfort, and daily oral function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a family dentist and a general dentist?
A general dentist in Bunbury focuses on providing dental care to people of all ages, including preventive and restorative treatments. They perform checkups, provide professional cleaning and fillings, and identify early signs of dental problems. While general dentists provide care for all age groups, they may not always tailor care specifically for children. Their services are suitable for adults, seniors, and older teens with standard dental needs.
A family dentist in Bunbury also provides general dental services, and they place a stronger emphasis on supporting children. They often tailor their approach to meet the needs of young patients and help build lasting oral care habits. Family dentists may offer guidance on teething, thumb-sucking, or childhood oral hygiene. The choice depends on your needs—some families prefer a dentist experienced with all age groups.
How often should I see a general dentist?
Does a general dentist do fillings?
Are fillings considered routine dental?
Do fillings hurt without an injection?
At our Bunbury dental clinic, we prioritise your comfort and always assess whether an injection is needed before a filling. Some small fillings may not require numbing if the decay is shallow and not near a nerve. In these cases, patients often feel only mild pressure or vibration, not pain. However, we always check in to see that you’re relaxed and comfortable.
For deeper fillings, an injection is usually recommended to avoid discomfort during the procedure. Without it, patients may experience sensitivity or sharp sensations if the cavity is near a nerve. We clearly explain each step and provide tailored support to help anxious patients feel more at ease during treatment.
Is a root canal treatment major dental work?
Yes, root canal therapy is considered major dental work because of its complexity and purpose. We perform root canal treatments with care and precision to relieve pain and preserve natural teeth. The following reasons explain why root canal treatment is classified as major dental work:
- Root canal therapy involves removing infected tissue from inside the tooth to prevent further infection or tooth loss.
- It requires detailed cleaning, shaping, and sealing of the tooth’s internal canals.
- This procedure is more complex and time-consuming than standard fillings or cleans, often taking one or more appointments.
- Root canal treatment restores tooth function and structure, often followed by a crown for added protection.
It is classified as major dental work. However, we make the process smooth and manageable, supporting your comfort every step of the way.
How much does a basic filling cost?
We provide clear pricing information before starting treatment so you understand your options and associated costs. Here’s a breakdown to help you plan:
- A simple filling for a front tooth usually costs between $170 and $310.
- For a back tooth, the cost typically ranges from $185 to $310.
- The final cost of your filling may vary based on several clinical factors:
- Tooth Position:
The location of the tooth can influence the cost of a filling. Costs may vary depending on whether the tooth is located at the front or back of your mouth. - Extent of Decay:
The size and depth of the cavity can influence the final cost of treatment. In general, shallow cavities may be less complex and, therefore, less costly to restore than deeper areas of decay. - Material Used:
The material used for a filling can influence the overall cost. Common options include composite (tooth-coloured), amalgam (silver), or other materials recommended based on your clinical needs. - Additional Preparation:
Some fillings may require additional preparation steps, like applying protective layers, which can affect the final cost.
- Tooth Position:
We’ll always provide a personalised quote after your examination so you know what to expect — no surprises.

What is the difference between a checkup and a cleaning?
A dental checkup in Bunbury involves a thorough examination of your mouth to detect any early signs of issues. We check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns that might need treatment or monitoring. X-rays may also be taken if needed to see areas that are not visible. The goal is to prevent problems or catch them early when they’re easier to manage.
A professional cleaning focuses on removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing at home can’t fully remove. We use EMS Airflow to clean around your gums gently and between your teeth. This helps prevent gum disease and keeps your mouth feeling fresh and healthy. A professional cleaning often follows a checkup but serves a different purpose in your care.
