General Dentistry in Altona North

At Altona Gate Dental, we take a proactive approach to keeping your teeth and gums healthy – not just treating issues as they arise, but preventing them altogether. From check-ups and cleans to fillings and root canal therapy, our team provides thorough, compassionate care for patients of all ages.

Our Approach to General Dentistry

We believe healthy smiles start with trust and education. At Altona Gate Dental, our team takes time to explain every step of your care, helping you understand what’s happening and why. We’re family-friendly, prevention-focused, and committed to helping you maintain great oral health for life.

Our General Dentistry Services

From preventive check-ups to restorative treatments, our general dentistry services cover everything you need to keep your smile healthy and confident. Whether it’s your child’s first visit, a routine clean, or managing more complex issues like root canals, we provide gentle, thorough care designed for comfort and long-term results.

Check-Up & Clean

Regular visits are the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our Oral Health Therapists provide professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and gum therapy – all with a gentle touch.

We’ll chart your teeth and gums, check for early signs of decay, and take X-rays when needed to ensure nothing goes unnoticed. For children, we make every visit fun and educational, helping them build strong habits from a young age.

  • Pro tip: Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily – the small things make the biggest difference!

Occlusal Splints

Do you wake up with a sore jaw or tension headaches? You may be grinding your teeth at night – a condition known as bruxism.

Our custom occlusal splints (night guards) are designed to protect your teeth and relieve pressure on the jaw. Each splint is custom-made for comfort and precision, helping reduce wear, pain, and muscle strain.

  • Pro tip: Rinse your splint after use, and store it in its case to keep it clean and long-lasting.

Dental Fillings

Cavities may be sneaky, but they’re easily stopped in their tracks. Our composite (tooth-coloured) fillings restore your tooth’s strength and appearance while preventing further decay.

We remove the decay gently, clean the area, and restore the tooth’s natural shape – all with minimal discomfort.

  • Pro tip: By sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter, fillings prevent bigger issues like infection or root canal therapy later on.

Root Canals

We know, the words “root canal” sound scary. But at Altona Gate Dental, they’re nothing to fear. Modern techniques and local anaesthesia make the procedure comfortable and pain-free, often relieving rather than causing discomfort.

We remove the infection, clean the inner tooth, and seal it to prevent further damage. A final crown or filling restores your tooth’s strength and appearance.

  • Pro tip: With proper care, a treated tooth can last for many years – saving your natural smile from extraction.
