General Dentistry in Doncaster
At Shoppingtown Dental Doncaster, we love welcoming patients of all ages to our family-friendly dental clinic. We offer comprehensive general dentistry services to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, happy smile for a lifetime.
Healthy Smiles Start with Preventive Dental Care
Even if your family brush and floss regularly, we recommend dental check-ups and cleans for all ages every six months. Even if your teeth and gums look and feel okay, it doesn’t mean they are healthy and disease-free. Often, cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues don’t make themselves known until the damage is done or you wake up with a toothache and need emergency treatment.
That is what preventive dentistry is about—finding and treating these conditions in their early stages, long before they cause discomfort. If we detect a problem, we can address it promptly so that you can avoid the expense and inconvenience of more complex treatment in the future.
What Does a Routine Dental Check-Up Involve?
The purpose of routine dental examinations at our Doncaster clinic is to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. These bi-annual appointments include a thorough oral health assessment and x-rays as needed. Our dentists in Doncaster will discuss your outstanding treatment needs, address your concerns, and organise a plan for long-term oral health maintenance.
We will also perform a thorough professional clean to rid your mouth of plaque buildup that your toothbrush and floss miss. Plaque that isn’t removed with routine oral hygiene hardens into tartar, a mineral-like substance that increases your risk of developing periodontal disease.
For kids, we offer the services of an oral health therapist.
Our Comprehensive Dental Services
Routine check-ups and cleans are preventive, but what if our dentists detect a condition that needs treatment? You are in great hands because we offer all the restorative services needed to get your smile back in shape, including:
- Tooth fillings

are our priorities, and we promise to see you within 24 hours to provide the relief and treatment you need.

General Dentistry Technology
Digital X-Rays & Sensors
Dental x-rays are an essential tool to diagnose conditions that our dentists cannot see with a visual exam. With your safety as our priority, we use low-dose digital x-rays that significantly minimise radiation exposure. Our digital x-rays use comfortable sensors placed in your mouth to capture high-resolution images. The level of detail obtained enables our dentists to detect issues like cavities in their earliest stages and treat them promptly before they require more complex treatment.
Intraoral Cameras
Do you ever wonder exactly what your dentist sees during a routine exam? Now, with intraoral cameras, you can! This small handheld wand has a tiny digital camera that our dentists move over your teeth. As they do, the images appear on the monitor, so you can see what they see. This technology allows you to actively participate in your dental care, helps you understand why we recommend treatment and enables you to make confident, informed decisions.
