At Redwood Family Dentists, we provide comprehensive general dentistry services to help individuals and families maintain healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life. General dentistry forms the foundation of long-term oral health. Regular dental visits allow our team to identify potential issues early, provide effective treatment when needed, and guide you on the best ways to care for your teeth at home. Whether you need a routine check-up, a filling, or treatment for a dental concern, we aim to provide high-quality care in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Dental Check-Ups
Routine dental check-ups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During a dental examination, our dentists carefully assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, enamel wear, and other potential concerns. Regular visits also allow us to detect problems early, when they are typically easier and less costly to treat.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleaning plays an important role in preventing gum disease and maintaining oral health. Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth.
During a professional clean, our team carefully removes plaque and hardened tartar deposits from the teeth and along the gum line. This helps reduce the risk of gum inflammation and periodontal disease. Teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling fresh and clean.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Tooth decay is a common dental problem that can affect people of all ages. When a cavity develops, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent further damage to the tooth. At Redwood Family Dentists, we use modern tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend naturally with your existing teeth. Composite fillings are strong, durable, and designed to restore the structure of the tooth while maintaining a natural appearance.
Root Canal Treatment
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth. Rather than removing the tooth, this procedure removes the infected tissue from inside the root canals and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.

Root canal treatment can relieve pain and restore the health of the affected tooth. Once the treatment is complete, the tooth is typically restored with a filling or crown to strengthen and protect it. With modern techniques and anaesthesia, root canal treatment is far more comfortable than many people expect.
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly and may involve significant pain or damage to the teeth. Our team provides prompt care for dental emergencies such as severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and dental injuries.
ACC Dental Injury Treatment
As an ACC provider, Redwood Family Dentists can assist patients who have experienced dental injuries caused by accidents. These injuries may include chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth.

Our team can assess the injury, provide appropriate treatment, and assist with the ACC claims process. Prompt treatment following a dental injury is important for achieving the best possible outcome and protecting your long-term oral health.
