Patient questions

Common questions about general dentistry

Clinician speaking with a patient

General dentistry services are the core, everyday dental care provided by a qualified dentist. They cover the full range of treatments needed to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy, such as routine check-ups, cavity fillings and extractions.

We offer regular check-ups and hygiene visits to catch dental problems early, fluoride treatments and fissure sealants for extra protection against decay, oral cancer screening at every check-up, and protective custom-made mouthguards for teeth grinding or contact sports.

Our general check-up fee covers the full examination of your teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, gum disease screening, a small X-ray if it is genuinely needed rather than as a default, a visual fluoride exposure test, and oral health advice.

Teeth cleaning, or dental hygiene treatment, is a separate service that requires an appointment with a hygienist. While you can schedule a teeth cleaning on the same day as your checkup, you will have to pay separately for the two. Call us to conveniently arrange a 2-in-1 appointment if preferred.

You don’t have to wait; you can arrange an appointment on the same day with Complete Smiles. We welcome walk-ins during business hours, and you can reserve a slot to avoid waiting in the lobby by calling ahead or booking online.
