— Is it time for a check-up?

Most people don’t think about the dentist until something feels off.

You might be:

  • Overdue for a check-up and not sure how long it’s been
  • Noticing sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food
  • Living with a tooth that aches, has chipped, or feels loose
  • Wanting a clean because your teeth feel rough or look stained
  • Booking the whole family in before school, work or a holiday

Wherever you’re at, there’s no lecture and no judgement. We start by listening, then explain what we find in plain language so you can decide what’s right for you.

— What general dentistry covers

General Dentistry services that keep small problems small.

General dentistry is the everyday, preventive care that keeps small problems from becoming big ones. If a check-up reveals a cavity or a tooth that needs rebuilding, that’s restorative care, covered on our Restorative & Preventive Dentistry page.

Comprehensive check-ups & examinations

A thorough examination of your teeth, gums and the soft tissues of your mouth to catch problems early, often before you feel anything. We check each tooth, assess your gums for early signs of disease, review existing dental work, and screen the wider mouth and jaw. Catching a small cavity now is far simpler and cheaper than treating it later.

Scale & clean (professional hygiene)

Removes the hardened plaque (tartar) that builds up over time and can’t be brushed away at home. We gently scale away the build-up, then polish your teeth so they feel smooth and fresh. Most people pair a clean with their six-monthly check-up, one of the most effective ways to prevent gum disease and keep your natural teeth for life.

Dental X-rays & early diagnosis

Some problems hide between teeth or below the gum line where they can’t be seen directly. Where needed, we take dental X-rays to spot decay, infection or bone changes early. You’ll only have X-rays when they’ll genuinely help your diagnosis, and your dentist will explain why before any are taken.

Simple tooth extractions

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or decayed to save, and removing it is the kindest option. We provide straightforward extractions in a calm, gentle setting, with clear aftercare advice so you know exactly what to do at home. More complex or surgical removals, including most wisdom teeth, are handled separately.

— What happens at your appointment

Knowing what to expect takes the nerves out of a visit.

You’re never pushed into treatment on the day. The pace is yours.

01

A relaxed chat first

We ask what’s brought you in and listen to any concerns, sensitivity, a sore tooth, or simply that it’s been a while.

02

A careful examination

Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays only if they’ll help, and checks any existing dental work.

03

A plain-language explanation

We talk you through what we found and lay out your options, including likely costs, before anything goes ahead.

04

Your clean

If you’re booked for a scale and clean, we remove built-up tartar and polish your teeth.

05

A plan that suits you

A six-month recall, a follow-up for a filling, or nothing at all, you leave knowing exactly where you stand.

For most adults and children, a check-up and clean every six months is recommended. Regular visits let your dentist catch decay and gum problems early, when they’re simpler and cheaper to treat. Some patients with healthy mouths can stretch to once a year, and your dentist will recommend the right interval for you.

A check-up includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and soft tissues, a review of any existing dental work, and dental X-rays where they’ll aid diagnosis. It’s usually paired with a scale and clean to remove tartar build-up. Your dentist then explains everything they found in plain language before recommending any treatment.
