Personalised dental check-ups & cleans for every smile
At Gisborne Family Dental, our approach to general dentistry focuses on more than just your teeth, we care about your overall wellbeing. We care for you as a whole person, considering your unique lifestyle, health history and long-term wellbeing. From regular dental check-ups and cleans to early detection and preventative advice, our team is here to support your best oral health at every stage of life.
One size doesn’t fit all, and that’s a good thing
We understand that every patient is different, and that your dental experience should feel personalised, respectful and genuinely supportive from the moment you walk through our doors. Whether you’re a teenager with emerging wisdom teeth or a busy parent overdue for a dental clean, our general dentistry services are tailored to your needs. We take the time to get to know your habits, concerns and goals before recommending any treatment.
Creating health, not just fixing problems
Our focus is on prevention, not just repair. During your dental check-up and clean, we carefully examine your teeth and gums for early signs of decay or disease. By catching issues early, we can often treat them quickly and conservatively, saving you time, money and discomfort in the long run.
Preventive care may include:
- Comprehensive dental exams
- Professional cleans to remove plaque and tartar
- Oral cancer screening
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel
Our team believes that general dentistry is about giving you the knowledge, support and care you need to stay healthy between visits.
