Regular dental care plays an important role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Dental examinations can help identify concerns such as tooth decay, gum problems and changes in oral health before they become more complicated.

At Real Dentistry, we provide general dental care for adults, families and eligible young patients. Our approach focuses on understanding your concerns, assessing your oral health and discussing treatment or preventative care where appropriate.

Our Kilbirnie dental clinic is conveniently located for patients living in Wellington and surrounding suburbs.

Our Approach to General Dental Care

At Real Dentistry, we understand that every patient has different dental needs, concerns and preferences.

Our dental team aims to provide clear information and involve you in decisions about your care. This may include discussing examination findings, treatment options, potential benefits and risks, expected costs and any recommended follow-up appointments.

We also encourage preventative care and regular oral health assessments, with appointment frequency guided by your individual circumstances.

Whether you need a routine examination or assessment of a specific dental concern, our team can help you understand the next steps.

What to Expect at Your Dental Appointment

Initial Discussion and Dental Assessment

Your appointment generally begins with a discussion about your dental concerns, relevant medical history and oral health needs.
Your dentist may examine your teeth, gums and surrounding oral structures. X-rays or other assessments may be recommended if clinically indicated.

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Following the assessment, your dentist will explain relevant findings and discuss whether treatment, preventative care, monitoring or referral is recommended.

You can ask questions about the proposed treatment, alternatives, costs and expected follow-up care before deciding how to proceed.

Ongoing Dental Care

Depending on your oral health needs, your dentist may recommend future examinations, hygiene appointments or additional treatment.

Regular dental care can help identify developing problems and support good oral health habits over time.

Caring for Your Smile Long-Term

Looking after your teeth and gums between appointments is an important part of maintaining oral health.

Some useful habits include:

Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
Cleaning between your teeth regularly.
Limiting frequent sugary foods and drinks.
Attending dental examinations at intervals appropriate to your needs.
Seeking dental advice if you notice persistent pain, bleeding gums, swelling or other changes.
Professional dental hygiene care may also be recommended depending on your oral health.
