General Preventive Dentistry

YOUR CARING GENERAL & PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Strong teeth and healthy gums start with smart, consistent care and at Supreme Dental, our general and preventive dentistry solutions aim to keep problems small or stop them before they even start. From thorough exams and low-dose radiographs to professional cleans, fluoride, and early fillings, your every visit is designed as per your smile, your lifestyle, and your risk level.

If it’s been a while since your last check-up, or you’ve noticed bleeding gums, sensitivity, or lingering bad breath, book a visit.

When to Book for Preventive Care?

Preventive dentistry isn’t just for when something hurts. Schedule a check-up if you’re due for your six-monthly clean, you’re starting a new medication that affects your mouth, you clench or grind, you have a sweet, acidic diet, or you’re managing gum disease. Early attention helps protect enamel, gums, and overall health.

We Handle Your Everyday Oral Health

Our dentists provide comprehensive, evidence-based prevention for the whole family:

Comprehensive Examination & Radiographs: Full mouth assessment, bite and jaw check, gum health review, and digital X-rays (bitewings/OPG when indicated) to spot issues you can’t see.
Professional Scale, Clean & Polish: Ultrasonic and hand scaling to remove plaque and calculus, followed by a gentle polish to smooth and brighten.
Topical Fluoride: A quick, targeted application to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay in both adults and children.
Fissure Sealants: Protective coatings for deep grooves on molars—ideal for kids and teens at higher risk of cavities.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings: Conservative, aesthetic restorations to repair early decay and protect tooth structure.
Gum Care & Periodontal Maintenance: Targeted cleaning and tailored home routines to manage inflammation and support long-term gum health.
Mouthguards & Nightguards: Custom protection for sport, clenching, or grinding to prevent wear and fractures.
Diet & Hygiene Coaching: Practical advice on brushing, flossing, and nutrition that fits your day-to-day.

What to Expect at Your Check-Up

At your visit, we’ll start off by speaking about your goals, your medical history, and any changes that might have happened since your last visit. The dentist will examine you for signs of oral cancer, check the health of your jaw joints and bite, assess your gums, and look over any areas of concern. We also might take some digital X-rays to get a better look at what’s happening between your teeth and beneath any existing dental work.

Next, we’ll remove plaque and calculus, polish for a smooth finish, and apply fluoride. You’ll leave with a clear, personalised plan: What needs attention now, what to monitor, and when to return.

Tooth Protection, Minus the Fuss

Our focus at Supreme Dental is minimal intervention focusing on catching early changes and reinforcing enamel rather than jumping straight to invasive care.
We use targeted fluoride, sealants for vulnerable grooves, and small, precise fillings only where necessary. This is so you can avoid bigger treatments like crowns, root canals, or extractions down the track. Book your visit to the clinic so we can help you best.

Frequently Asked questions

How often is coming for a check-up and cleaning necessary?

Most patients do well with six-monthly visits. Higher-risk patients (e.g., those with gum disease, frequent decay) may benefit from three- to four-monthly maintenance.

Are dental X-rays safe?

We use low-dose digital radiography only when clinically suggested. The images help detect hidden problems early, reducing the need for complex treatment.

Do adults need fluoride treatments?

Yes. Especially with a history of decay, acid wear, or dry mouth. Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent new cavities.

Filling or fissure sealant, which is better?

Sealants are essentially preventive coatings, whereas fillings repair the decay. The dentist will recommend what’s appropriate.
