General Dentistry
Regular dental visits are the foundation of long-term oral health. Our general dentistry appointments focus on prevention, early detection and practical guidance you can use at home.
Overview
About general dentistry
A general dental appointment usually includes an examination of your teeth, gums and mouth, a conversation about any concerns you have noticed, and advice tailored to your oral hygiene routine.
Where appropriate, your dentist may recommend a professional clean, X-rays or further assessment. Any recommendation is explained to you first, along with the reasons for it and the alternatives available.
Preventive care aims to identify potential problems while they are small and easier to manage. How often you should visit depends on your individual oral health, and your dentist will discuss a suitable interval with you.

FAQs
Questions about general dentistry
General answers only. Your dentist can advise on your specific situation.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
There is no single interval that suits everyone. Your dentist will recommend a check-up frequency based on your oral health, history and risk factors, and may adjust it over time.
Will I always need X-rays?
Not necessarily. X-rays are only recommended when they are likely to provide useful information for your care. Your dentist will explain why they are suggested before any are taken.
I have not seen a dentist in a long time. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Many people return to dental care after a long gap. We will take things at a comfortable pace and focus on understanding where you are now.
