What it is

The foundation of caring for your mouth

General dentistry brings together all the treatments that keep your mouth healthy day to day: regular check-ups, professional cleanings, fillings, sealants and the early detection of cavities or gum problems. It is the first line of care and the starting point for any oral health plan.

Its aim is to prevent rather than treat. With regular visits, small concerns can be spotted in good time and resolved simply, preventing them from developing into more complex treatments. At your first appointment we review the overall condition of your teeth and gums and explain, step by step, what your mouth needs.

Frequently asked questions

Answering your questions about general dentistry

How often should I have a check-up?

As a general guide, a check-up once a year helps to catch any problem in good time. In your case, we will advise you on the frequency best suited to the condition of your mouth.

Is a dental cleaning the same as a check-up?

Not quite. A check-up is for examining and diagnosing, while a professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar. They are often done at the same visit.

Do I need good oral health before a cosmetic treatment?

Yes. A healthy mouth is the foundation of any cosmetic treatment. That is why we first assess the overall condition of your teeth and gums before planning other treatments.

Shall we look after your mouth together?

Book your check-up and we will assess the condition of your mouth with a clear care plan, unhurried and with no obligation.
