Comprehensive General Dentistry in Cairns
Prioritising Oral Health
Our team at Dental Care Smithfield encourages all our patients to have regular six-monthly dental exams and cleaning. This may allow for the prevention of problems before they begin and the early detection of small problems before they become big problems.
During our examination procedure, we screen for any oral diseases, including gum disease and oral cancers. Early detection and treatment of oral disease can increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.
We also recommend intraoral digital X-rays every two years to track your oral health over time. We use high-quality digital X-rays to help further enhance the efficiency of our care and to detect dental decay before it becomes apparent to the naked eye.

Restorative Dental Services
We offer restorative dental services, such as:
- Fillings: As a modern, non-toxic and aesthetically pleasing technique for treating dental decay, we proudly use BPA-free composite dental materials. These technically advanced materials come in many shades of white that can allow them to blend with natural tooth structure, making them as attractive as they are durable.
- Crowns: Where teeth have been heavily damaged by decay or trauma or have had root canal treatment, we will often recommend dental crowns. These can be made from ceramic, zirconia, resin or gold and will produce an aesthetic and strong result that may give you confidence in your smile.
Accessing General Dentistry
General dentistry plays a critical role in maintaining overall oral health by addressing a wide range of dental needs. Regular dental check-ups, cleanings and basic procedures help prevent common issues such as cavities, gum disease and tooth decay.
Routine cleanings can remove plaque and tartar that cannot be effectively removed by brushing and flossing alone. These cleanings help maintain gum health and may prevent the development of more serious conditions such as periodontal disease.
Regular visits contribute to better overall health by keeping dental issues in check and supporting both oral hygiene and long-term dental wellbeing.
To access general dentistry in Queensland, contact a dental clinic—like Dental Care Smithfield—that provides check-ups, cleanings and treatments like fillings or extractions. Appointments can be made through the phone or our online booking platform.
For coverage, check if your private health insurance includes dental care. Many insurance plans cover a portion of general dentistry costs, such as preventive care and basic treatments. The Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) also offers eligible children up to $1,000 in benefits for essential dental care.
