What a general dentist covers
A general dentist looks after your overall oral health — routine examinations, professional cleaning, fillings, root-canal treatment, extractions, and the restoration or replacement of missing teeth with crowns, bridges, dentures or implants. General dentists also screen for gum disease and oral cancer, and refer to specialists where more complex care is needed.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a discussion of your dental history and any concerns, followed by an examination of your teeth and gums and, where appropriate, X-rays. The findings and the available options, along with their costs, are explained before any treatment is agreed and carried out.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring a list of any medications you take and details of past dental treatment. If you have dental anxiety, let the team know in advance — it helps them pace the visit and explain each step as they go.
Booking, referrals and fees
Appointments at AllSmiles Dental Care can be made directly with the clinic; a referral is not usually required for general dental care. Fees vary with the treatment involved, and the clinic can provide an estimate before you proceed. Selected treatments may be claimable under MediSave or company dental benefits where eligible.
Common questions
