General Dentistry
Check-ups, Cleaning & Fillings
Routine examination, scaling and restoration of decayed teeth.
Routine dentistry is the part that prevents the expensive part. A check-up looks at the teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, including a screening look for anything unusual in the mouth. Scaling removes hardened plaque that brushing cannot.
Where decay is found, a filling restores the tooth. Tooth-coloured composite is used in most situations.
