General Dentistry in Bellevue Hill — Eastern Suburbs Family Dentist

Our general dentistry services

Check-ups and examinations

A thorough dental check-up every six to twelve months helps your dentist catch small issues before they become big ones. At every check-up, we examine your teeth, gums, soft tissue, bite, and jaw joints, and take X-rays where needed. The earlier we spot something, the simpler and gentler the fix tends to be.

Professional cleans

Our hygienists provide scale and clean appointments, gum health assessments, fluoride treatments, and personalised oral hygiene advice. Regular cleans remove the build-up that home brushing can’t reach — and they’re the foundation of preventing gum disease.

Tooth-coloured fillings

When your tooth needs a filling, whether from decay, a crack, or a worn-out filling, we use composite resin (tooth-coloured) fillings to help restore the integrity of your teeth. They bond directly to your tooth, blend in naturally, and need less drilling away of healthy tooth than older silver fillings.

Emergency dentistry

Toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown, and a broken filling are some dental emergencies that may happen unexpectedly, and they are stressful. We hold same-day emergency appointments for patients in acute pain or with dental trauma. Call us first thing in the morning, and we will do everything we can to see you the same day. After-hours pain advice is also available by phone.

Tooth extractions

When a tooth genuinely cannot be saved by restoration services, we will perform the extraction under local anaesthetic and walk you through your replacement options. That may be implants, bridges, or dentures, all at the same appointment, so you know exactly what comes next.

Custom mouthguards

Custom-fitted sports mouthguards for children and adults playing contact sports. A properly fitted custom guard offers significantly better protection and comfort than off-the-shelf versions. Mouthguard protection is worth the investment if your kids are on the field most weekends.

Nightguards for grinding

If you grind or clench your teeth during sleep (bruxism), a custom nightguard protects your teeth from accelerated wear and reduces the load on your jaw joint. Grinding is one of the most common causes of tooth damage and jaw pain in adults, and a well-fitted nightguard can make a meaningful difference.

Dentures

Full and partial dentures for patients who have lost multiple or all of their teeth. We work with experienced dental prosthetists to make sure your dentures fit well, function comfortably, and look natural. Where appropriate, we’ll also discuss implant-supported options.

Why choose Bellevue Hill Dental?

We’ve been part of the local community for 75 years, with three generations of the Digges family caring for patients across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. That continuity matters. 

We’re not just here for one appointment. We’re here for the full story of your family’s dental health, from your child’s first check-up through to the dental work you will have in your seventies.

A few practical things worth knowing:

• Preferred provider for major health funds — eligible patients pay a reduced gap, or no gap, on covered treatments. Bring your card, and we will process your claim on the spot with HICAPS.
• CDBS provider — eligible children aged 2–17 may have their basic dental care bulk-billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
• Same-day emergency appointments — for acute pain and trauma, we will try to fit you in.
• Full-service practice — general, cosmetic, orthodontic, implant, and surgical care all under one roof.
• Afterpay available — to help spread the cost of larger treatment plans.
