Dental Diagnostics & Prevention

Generally, the earlier a dental issue is picked up the more options you will have in terms of treatment for restoring the oral health of your mouth as well as overall health, and the cheaper those options will typically be.

Our dentists use a mixture of time-tested diagnostic methods, and the latest advances in diagnostic cameras and digital x-ray technology.

Did you know?

The mouth can offer clues about your overall health. Problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body or indicate other underlying health issues.

Preventing dental issues before they happen

Preventative Dental Treatments

Regular trips to the dentist are an important aspect of dental diagnostics and preventing dental issues before they can develop. We recommend that patients typically visit us every six months, at least to see the dental hygienist. Depending on your overall dental health, this can change and sometimes visits to the dentist can be annual and your dentist will chat with you about the frequency of your visits when you see them.

Whilst we typically associate dental issues specifically with our teeth but dental problems are just one aspect of our overall oral health. Cleaning your teeth, flossing, and using a mouthwash are all ways you can improve your overall oral health and prevent issues from developing.

Poor oral health is linked with...

  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease and stroke
  • Pregnancy & birth issues

Always breaking or chipping fillings?

We frequently see undiagnosed clenching and grinding in patients who have had years of patch-up work with fillings that continue to pop off and break. Addressing the underlying causes of the way the teeth come together is important to stop the cycle of tooth destruction and for the long-term benefit of the mouth and the body. Undiagnosed clenching and grinding can result in split teeth having to be removed, jaw issues, headaches and even spasms in the arms!

If you are worried about your oral health or you need advice and guidance, our team at Hamilton Dental Centre are always on hand to help you to diagnose any potential issues and come up with solutions to help to prevent any issues before they develop.

Highly recommend this place! Dr Bashar Humadi has a great way of interacting with patients. Including the dental assistant I had she was super friendly! ❤️ I felt comfortable - was feeling a little nervous about my wisdom removal. All of it went well & the recovery process is doing great so far. Thank you 🙏🏽

If you need dental care this is the place. The staff are all wonderful people and very professional. You can expect a warm welcome as soon as you walk in the door from the admin team, and a chat. I felt very relaxed during my procedures at Hamilton Dental, and my procedures were explained to me very clearly prior. Thanks Dr Bashar and the Hamilton Dental team for your professional care.

I love these guys so much! super fun appointments (I have had appointments with Bashar who is super bubbly and funny) and are very thorough with what they do. The receptionists as well as the dental assistants are lovely and just makes the whole experience much more pleasant. Also if you want to see a hygienist for a deep clean this is the place to go. My teeth have never looked so great. Highly recommend!

Bashar is so caring and empathetic. I had severe toothache and he kindly fitted me in to address the problem without having to wait. The whole practice is friendly, and professional but fun personalities that put you at ease immediately. Would definitely recommend.

Can't recommend these guys enough. The entire staff were amazing. I was very nervous about my first appointment with them as I was having crowns and had suffered an anxiety attack at my previous dentist - first time I had ever had one. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. (The gas helped as well). Dr Bashar was amazing and very reassuring. Will be staying with these guys for sure. An excellent business. Thank you.

Highly recommend the lovely team at the Hamilton Dental Centre, we were recommended by a friend about 8 years ago and I now take my whole family there. They are amazing especially with the young ones having braces. I know we are always in the very best hands.

Absolutely lovely bunch of people! My son is in the process of braces and they are so friendly, kind and caring. He’s only young and I would be happy to send him in after school on his own, he’s that comfortable now. Thanks to all, much appreciated…we can’t wait to see the results 😁

I changed from my long-time Dentist to Hamilton Dental Centre firstly for the convenience of them being close to home but from my first visit a few years ago I would follow Basher (my dentist) anywhere.
From the lovely ladies at the front desk who are always cheerful and greet me by name to my dentist (Basher) who has such a bubbly, engaging personality and makes you feel at ease from the minute he greets you, through the consultation of what treatment is required & the cost of it all before getting started.

Wow! Where do I start?

The absolute best dentist on the planet!

Dr Bashar has such a caring nature and makes me feel so relaxed that I actually fell asleep during a recent appointment!

I can honestly say, that after nearly 40 years, I now look forward to going to the dentist, and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bashar and his team to anyone. Yes, he is that good. What a gift he has!

Thank you, Hamilton Dental Centre!
