 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr Maryam Ahlevi at Lidums for over ten years.   I have been incredibly impressed by her meticulous attention to detail.  I am a manufacturer myself and fancy myself able to adjudge precision workmanship and scientific discipline. On one occasion Maryam finished a crown and found that the space to the next tooth was not sufficient to admit the passage of dental floss.  She spent 40 minutes moving the teeth to ensure that the space would allow for flossing. She had 2 other patients waiting but would not finish with me until she had got it right.  I will never again complain if she keeps me waiting; she is probably tied up getting another job right.  This is a very good thing. I have been told that Dr Lidum, founder of the clinic, is equally fastidious.  Adelaide famously has one degree of separation. Word gets round, and businesses and consultants are duly rewarded or punished for their quality and integrity. I now live mostly in Malaysia.  I am getting an implant done at Lidums at a cost of at least twice what I would pay in Malaysia. That is fine by me.  I will never again get any dental work done by a dentist who is not named Maryam.  I am confident that she will use the best materials, and the best laboratory, and take whatever time is needed to ensure an impeccable job. And in ten or twenty years, when I am retired here in Adelaide, I can count on her, and on Lidums, being there and being able to deal with any problems that might arise. Thank you, Maryam, and thank you Dr and Mrs Lidum, founders of such a fine clinic.

Comprehensive General Dental Care in Adelaide

General dentistry covers the everyday care, prevention and treatment needed to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Regular dental visits can help identify changes before they become more complex. They also give your dentist an opportunity to monitor existing dental work, assess your gums and discuss any symptoms or changes you may have noticed.

Depending on your needs, general dental care may include preventive treatment, professional cleaning, restorative dentistry, gum care, treatment for dental pain and management of damaged or missing teeth.

At Lidums Dental, we look at your oral health as a whole rather than focusing only on one tooth or one concern.

CALL US NOW

Whether you are due for a check up, experiencing discomfort or have concerns about your teeth or gums, our team is here to help.

Preventive Dental Care and Long Term Oral Health

Preventive care is an important part of general dentistry.

Routine dental appointments provide an opportunity to monitor your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work while addressing smaller concerns before they have the opportunity to become more complex.

Good preventive dental care may include:

regular dental examinations
professional scale and cleans
monitoring gum health
checking for tooth decay
reviewing existing fillings, crowns and other restorations
discussing changes in sensitivity, comfort or function
personalised advice for maintaining your oral health at home

The appropriate frequency of dental visits will depend on your individual oral health and risk factors.

When Should You See a Dentist?

You do not need to wait for severe tooth pain before booking a dental check up. If you notice tooth sensitivity, bleeding or swollen gums, a chipped or broken tooth, persistent bad breath, discomfort when chewing or changes in your bite, it is a good idea to have it assessed early.

At Lidums Dental, we look beyond the immediate concern to understand how your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work are functioning together. Early dental care can help protect healthy teeth, prevent smaller concerns from becoming more complex and support your comfort, function and long term oral health.

Collaborative Patient Care

Advanced Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Some patients have several dental concerns affecting different parts of the mouth rather than one isolated problem.

This may include worn teeth, broken teeth, missing teeth, ageing restorations, bite concerns or difficulty chewing.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach that brings together appropriate dental treatments to improve function, comfort, stability and the appearance of the smile.

Depending on the individual patient, treatment may involve a combination of restorative, cosmetic and dental implant procedures.

Because every mouth is different, full mouth rehabilitation begins with a detailed assessment and personalised treatment plan.

General Dentistry FAQs

How often should I visit the dentist?

There is no single schedule that is right for everyone. The recommended frequency will depend on your dental health, gum health, medical history and individual risk factors. Your dentist can advise how often you should attend.

How often should I have a scale and clean?

The appropriate frequency varies between patients. Some people may benefit from more frequent professional cleaning depending on plaque and tartar build up, gum health and other dental factors.

Is teeth whitening part of general dentistry?

Teeth whitening can sit within both general and cosmetic dentistry. Before whitening, it is important to assess the health of your teeth and gums and determine whether whitening is suitable for you.

Can a dentist help with bleeding gums?

Yes. Bleeding gums can have several causes, including plaque related inflammation and gum disease. A dental examination can help determine the cause and whether professional cleaning or further treatment is required.

What if I have several dental problems at the same time?

If you have multiple worn, damaged or missing teeth, a more comprehensive approach may be appropriate. Full Mouth Rehabilitation can bring together different treatments as part of a coordinated dental plan.

From General Dentistry to Comprehensive Dental Care

Dental needs can change over time.

For one patient, care may simply involve routine cleaning and monitoring. Another may require treatment for gum disease or a damaged tooth. Some patients may have several concerns that require a more comprehensive restorative or rehabilitation approach.

At Lidums Dental, our general dentistry services connect naturally with our broader cosmetic dentistry, dental rehabilitation and dental implant services when more complex care is required.

This allows treatment to be planned around your overall dental health rather than treating each concern in isolation.

Brands We Trust

Your care is only as good as the tools and materials behind it, so we choose them carefully.

We work with globally recognised, clinically proven systems that are TGA approved and backed by strong research, strict quality checks and reliable warranties.

This helps us deliver results that are precise, reliable and long lasting.
