Check-ups and preventative dentistry
Regular examinations help us find decay, gum problems and wear early, when treatment is usually simpler. Preventative care is one of our priorities as a practice.

Everyday Dental Care in Seymour
General dentistry is the foundation of good oral health. It covers the routine care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy, and the restorative treatment that repairs problems early, while they are still small.
At New'Gen Dental Surgery, general dentistry is where most of our patients start. A thorough examination tells us what is happening in your mouth, and from there we explain what we have found and talk through the suitable options.
Send an enquiryWhat General Dentistry Includes
Dental hygiene and professional cleaning
Removing the hardened build-up a toothbrush cannot reach, along with practical advice on cleaning the areas you find difficult at home.
Fillings
Restoring teeth affected by decay, wear or fracture, using materials selected for the position and function of the tooth.
Root canal therapy
Treatment for a tooth with an infected or damaged nerve, which may allow the tooth to be kept rather than removed.
Tooth extractions
Removing a tooth when it cannot be saved, along with an honest discussion about whether the gap needs replacing.
Wisdom teeth removal
Assessment of wisdom teeth using OPG imaging, and removal where they are impacted or causing problems. Dr Lee has a particular interest in oral surgery, so many of these cases can be managed at our practice.
Children’s dentistry
Care for children of all ages, including examinations, cleaning, fillings and preventative advice. We treat eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.
Emergency dentistry
Prompt attention for dental pain, swelling, broken teeth and lost restorations during our opening hours.
Gum disease treatment
Assessment and management of gum disease, which is common, often painless in the early stages and a leading cause of tooth loss.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards for sport, and splints for patients who grind or clench their teeth.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures to replace missing teeth and restore chewing function and appearance.
Digital dentistry, scans and imaging
Intraoral scanning, OPG imaging and facial scanning used for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Why Routine Care Matters
Most dental problems develop quietly. Decay does not usually hurt until it reaches the nerve, and gum disease is often painless until it is well established. By the time a problem becomes noticeable, treatment is generally more involved than it would have been if it had been found earlier.
Regular examinations give us the chance to intervene early, and to monitor rather than treat where that is the better option. We will always tell you when watching something is the sensible choice.
What to Expect at Your Visit
We start by discussing your concerns and goals, then complete a thorough examination and take any necessary X-rays or scans to assess your oral health. We will then explain our findings and talk you through the suitable treatment options, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Where treatment is recommended, you will receive a written estimate before anything goes ahead.
