Book a Check-UpGeneral dentistry is the cornerstone of your oral health. It encompasses the preventive care, diagnostics, and treatments that keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout life. At Kippax Dental, Dr George Liao provides a thorough approach to every aspect of general dental care.
From your very first visit, we take the time to understand your dental history, assess your current oral health, and create a personalised care plan. Regular check-ups allow us to identify potential issues early — when treatment is simpler, less invasive, and more cost-effective.
A thorough examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. We use digital X-rays and the Pro Ergo microscope to detect issues early, including areas that are not visible to the naked eye.
Our Airflow system uses a gentle jet of fine powder and warm water to remove stains, plaque, and biofilm. It is more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing, and particularly effective for sensitive teeth.
We use modern composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth colour. Under the Pro Ergo microscope, Dr Liao can place fillings with exceptional precision, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
When infection reaches the nerve of a tooth, root canal treatment can save it. The Pro Ergo microscope provides the magnification needed to navigate complex root canal anatomy with precision and confidence.
When a tooth cannot be saved, we perform gentle extractions with careful attention to your comfort. We always discuss replacement options, including implants, bridges, or other solutions.
Every check-up includes a gum health assessment and oral cancer screening. Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and early detection of oral abnormalities is critical for effective treatment.
Up to 25x magnification for detection and treatment that goes beyond what the naked eye can see.
A gentler, more comfortable alternative to traditional scaling and polishing methods.
We prioritise early detection and minimally invasive care to help you avoid complex treatments down the track.
We explain our findings and treatment options in plain language, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Catch problems when they are small and easier to treat.
Preventive care typically costs less than restorative treatments.
Professional cleans remove stains and tartar that brushing alone cannot reach.
Oral health is linked to heart health, diabetes management, and general wellbeing.
For most adults, we recommend a check-up and clean every six months. However, depending on your individual oral health, Dr Liao may suggest more or less frequent visits. During your check-up, we will advise on the schedule that suits you.
Airflow uses a controlled jet of fine powder particles and warm water to gently remove plaque, stains, and biofilm from your teeth. Many patients find it more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing, with less vibration and sensitivity. It is also effective in hard-to-reach areas like between teeth and around orthodontic brackets.
The Pro Ergo is a dental operating microscope that provides up to 25 times magnification. It allows Dr Liao to see fine cracks, early decay, and complex root canal anatomy that would be invisible to the naked eye. This means more accurate diagnoses, more conservative treatments, and better long-term results for you.
Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. In fact, the procedure relieves the pain caused by infection. With the Pro Ergo microscope, Dr Liao can navigate root canals with greater precision, which can contribute to a smoother and more efficient procedure.
Yes, we accept all major health funds and offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming, so you only pay the gap at the time of your visit. We can also provide a treatment plan with estimated costs and rebates before you proceed.
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss or use interdental brushes daily, limit sugary snacks and acidic drinks, and avoid using your teeth to open packaging. If you notice any changes — such as sensitivity, bleeding gums, or a persistent sore — contact us for an appointment rather than waiting for your next scheduled visit.
