General Dentistry in Sydney
CDC Dental provides a range of general dentistry services for patients at different stages of their oral health, from routine checkups to restorative and emergency care. General dentistry plays an important role in maintaining your teeth and gums over the long term.
Your care is led by Dr Tony Goswell (Principal Dentist), giving you the opportunity to see the same principal dentist over time. Whether you’re due for a routine visit or have a specific concern, he and our team are here to help.

Why Choose Us for General Dentistry
Dr Goswell is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (FRACDS) with close to 45 years in general practice. His approach is conservative, personalised and unhurried. For many patients, seeing the same dentist over the years means Dr Goswell becomes familiar with their dental history and can take previous care into account when discussing future treatment.

Preventive Care
Cleanings and Examinations
Regular checkups may include a professional cleaning with one of our oral health therapists, followed by a thorough dental examination with our dentist. Your visit includes an assessment of your teeth and gums, with X-rays taken when indicated. We’ll also discuss any findings and whether further care may be appropriate. Read more about Cleanings and Examinations.
White Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings can be used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear or small fractures while blending naturally with the surrounding teeth. They may also be used to replace an existing filling where clinically appropriate. Read more about White Fillings.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. Where the tooth can be restored, treatment aims to preserve your natural tooth rather than remove it. Our dentist takes a gentle, conservative approach and will discuss what may be appropriate for your individual situation. Read more about Root Canal Treatment.
Dentures
Dentures are one option for replacing missing teeth. Partial dentures may be used when you still have some natural teeth, while full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. We can assess your needs and discuss the options that may be appropriate for you. Read more about Dentures.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly. We provide prompt care for concerns such as toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, swelling and dental injuries, and make every effort to offer a same-day appointment where possible. Read more about Emergency Dentistry.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be restored or is causing ongoing problems, extraction may be recommended. Dr Goswell will explain why removal is being considered and discuss your options, including tooth replacement where appropriate. Read more about Tooth Extractions.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause pain, crowding or difficulty cleaning. Our dentist performs routine wisdom teeth extractions where appropriate. If a case is more complex, he may recommend referral to an appropriately qualified specialist. Read more about Wisdom Teeth Extractions.
Sports Mouthguards
A custom-fitted sports mouthguard is designed to help protect your teeth and mouth from injury during contact or collision sports. Each mouthguard is made to fit your teeth and bite. Read more about Sports Mouthguards.
Nightguards and Splints
Clenching and grinding can contribute to tooth wear, jaw muscle discomfort and other symptoms. A custom-made nightguard or splint is made to fit your teeth and may be recommended to help protect them from the effects of grinding. Read more about Nightguards and Splints.
