General dentistry
A general appointment covers an examination, a clean, and any small repairs that are needed. This is where new patients start, and for most people it is the only appointment they need.
What happens
A conversation first
We ask what has brought you in, what you have noticed, and whether anything has been uncomfortable. If you have had a difficult time at a dentist before, tell us at this point.
An examination
A visual examination of your teeth, gums and soft tissues. We explain what we are looking at as we go.
X-rays, if they are needed
Not every visit needs imaging. When it does, we tell you what we are looking for, and you can decline.
A written plan
If we find something, you get a summary of the options, what each one involves and what each one costs, before anything is booked.
What this covers
- Examination and oral health assessment
- Scale and clean
- Fluoride application
- Fillings
- Extractions
- Mouthguards for sport and for grinding
Things worth knowing
- A check-up and clean usually takes 45 minutes. If you would like longer, ask when you book and we will schedule it.
- Fees depend on what is needed. You get a quote before treatment starts.
