Dentistry

Everyday dental care for every age, on the Hume Highway

General dentistry is the care that keeps a mouth healthy year after year: examinations, cleans, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions and children's visits. Odontologie Dental Care has been a family dentist in Lansvale since 1988, and people of every age, from a toddler's first look to a grandparent's denture check, are welcome under one roof.

What a general dentist does

How a general dentist helps you and your family

A general dentist is the first stop for almost anything to do with your teeth and gums. The work falls into three parts: preventing disease, diagnosing what is going on, and treating it. That means routine check-ups and professional cleans, white fillings when decay appears, root canal treatment when a nerve is inflamed or infected, crowns and bridges to rebuild or replace teeth, and extractions when a tooth cannot be saved.

Because we see you regularly, we also notice the slow changes that a single visit would miss: enamel wearing down from grinding, a gum line creeping back, an old filling starting to leak at its edge. Picking these up early usually means a simpler fix and a smaller bill. When you need something more involved, such as dental implants or IV sedation for a longer appointment, it is arranged here by dentists who already know your history.

One practice for everyone

A family dentist from first tooth to later life

Many of the families we look after have been coming to Odontologie for more than one generation. Keeping everyone at the same practice means one set of records, one familiar team and appointments that can be booked back to back, so parents and children are seen in the same trip.

Dental needs change with age, and the care changes with them:

Young children: gentle first visits, check-ups, fluoride and fissure sealants, with advice on brushing and diet for parents
Teenagers: sports mouthguards, keeping an eye on wisdom teeth, and an orthodontic opinion if the bite is not lining up
Adults: regular cleans, fillings, crowns and help with grinding or sensitivity
Older patients: gum health, dentures and their adjustments, and oral cancer screening at each examination

Mouth and body

Why your general dental care matters for your overall health

Your mouth is often where the first signs of wider health problems show up. During a routine examination we look at the soft tissues for ulcers, patches or lumps that could point to oral cancer, and we note changes in the gums that may relate to conditions such as diabetes. Research also links long-standing gum disease with heart and blood vessel problems, which is one more reason not to ignore gums that bleed when you brush.

An infected tooth left alone can spread infection into the jaw or face. Treating it promptly, whether with a filling, a root canal or an extraction, protects more than the tooth itself. Prevention is the heart of what we do: six-monthly visits, a professional clean and honest advice about what can wait and what cannot.

Comfort first

Calm appointments, explained step by step

If dental visits make you uneasy, you are in good company. Tell us when you book and we will allow a little extra time, explain each step before we start and stop whenever you raise your hand. Dr Dennis Lam, for example, has a relaxed and patient manner that anxious adults and children respond to, and he speaks Mandarin and Cantonese. For longer or more involved treatment, IV sedation is available.

Patients come to us from Lansvale and nearby Cabramatta, Canley Vale, Chipping Norton and Canley Heights, and from a little further out in Liverpool and Fairfield. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, and you can book online at any time.

Good to know

General Dentistry - frequently asked

What does a general dentist do?

A general dentist prevents, diagnoses and treats the common problems that affect teeth and gums. At Odontologie that covers check-ups and cleans, X-rays, white fillings, root canal treatment, crowns and bridges, extractions including wisdom teeth, dentures, mouthguards and children's dentistry. If you need something outside general care, we will explain the options and arrange it.

How often should I have a check-up?

Every six months suits most adults and children. Some people with healthy gums and low decay risk can stretch to a year, while people with gum disease, diabetes or a lot of existing dental work may need visits every three or four months. Your dentist will suggest a recall time based on what they find, and tell you why.

Do you treat the whole family?

Yes. Odontologie has been a family dentist in Lansvale since 1988 and sees patients from their first birthday onwards. Families can book appointments one after another so everyone is seen in a single trip, and children's records stay with us as they grow into adult care.

Which general treatments are covered by health funds?

Most extras policies include general dental, which usually covers examinations, cleans, X-rays, fluoride and often fillings. How much comes back depends on your level of cover, waiting periods and annual limits. We accept all major health funds, and our front desk can help you check your likely rebate before treatment.

Can I see a dentist on a Saturday?

Yes. We are open Saturday from 9am to 2pm as well as Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm. Saturday times are popular with working parents and school-age children, so it helps to book a few weeks ahead.

What if I am nervous about the dentist?

Let us know when you book. We will go at your pace, explain each step and agree on a signal to stop. For longer treatment, or for people who find dental care very difficult, IV sedation is available and your dentist can talk you through whether it suits you.
