General Dentistry in Woodend
Welcome to dental care done right, close to home.
At Woodend Dental, general dentistry visits are your first line of defense against decay and gum disease, and a chance to discuss at-home care that truly works. We recommend visiting every six months for a check‑up, scale and clean, and professional polish to remove plaque and tartar from areas that regular brushing can’t reach.
Should you need any further treatment, our team can provide everything from tooth fillings and root canals to wisdom teeth removal, gum care, and dentures, all in one convenient location. We make this possible with our advanced in-house technology, experienced team, and practical advice, which means you can access quality dental care right here in Woodend.
If it’s been some time between visits, we’re here to make it easy to start again. Reach out to us today to schedule your general dental appointment.
Popular Treatments at a Glance
From regular dental check‑ups for the wider Macedon Ranges community to a scale and clean for Woodend locals, we handle every aspect of general dentistry under one roof. We’re proof that modern, convenient dentistry can be found closer to home.
Routine check up and clean
Restoring damaged teeth
If you have a cavity or a damaged tooth, we can restore its function and appearance with a tooth filling in Woodend. We use strong, tooth-coloured materials for a natural result, and we can also replace old metal amalgam fillings if you’d like a more seamless look.
For more complex issues, such as deep decay or infection, root canal treatment may be recommended. This procedure can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed, allowing you to maintain your natural smile for longer.
Wisdom teeth removal
Gum health and denture care
Gum disease often develops slowly, and can be easy to miss. We provide periodontal treatment that ranges from early-stages to significant infection or bone loss. Using tools like OPG imaging, which gives a quick 2D overview of your jaw and teeth, we can assess your gum health in detail and plan treatment with accuracy.
If dentures are needed, our on-site lab creates custom-fit replacements that look natural, feel comfortable, and can be adjusted quickly when required.
Mouthguards and occlusal splints
Protecting your teeth is just as important as treating them. We offer custom sports mouthguards for children and adults who lead active lifestyles. For patients who clench or grind their teeth at night, we can create occlusal splints to prevent tooth wear and jaw discomfort.

FAQs
How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?
We recommend a routine dental check‑up and clean every six months. This helps us catch any problems early and keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you have a specific dental concern, we may suggest more frequent visits.
Is a scale and clean painful?
We aim to make every cleaning as comfortable as possible. Our Airflow technology is gentle yet thorough, making it ideal for patients with sensitive teeth or gums. Most people find the experience comfortable and refreshing.
Do you see children and families?
Absolutely. As a family dentist, we care for patients of all ages — from a child’s very first dental visit to ongoing care for adults and older patients. In fact, we have been the family dentist for multiple generations of some families. We aim to make every visit positive, informative, and stress‑free for the whole family.
Do you accept health insurance?
Yes. We work with all major health funds and can process your claim on the spot using HICAPS, so you only pay the gap. If you’re unsure about your cover for a specific treatment, we’re happy to provide an itemised quote you can check with your health fund before proceeding.
