Am I Suitable For General Dentistry?
Most people are suitable for General Dentistry. It works well if you want to keep your mouth healthy, address new concerns, or return to care after a break. You may be suitable if you:
Would like routine check-ups and hygiene support
Have minor to moderate decay or wear that can be managed with conservative treatments
Want tailored advice to improve your at-home care and diet
Active tooth decay or gum inflammation that needs priority care
Significant bite issues or heavy grinding that could affect restorations
Ongoing sensitivity that needs investigation
Oral health risks that need monitoring before treatment proceeds
Sometimes we may suggest stabilising your oral health first. You may not be suitable yet if you have:
Your assessment comes first. We will check your teeth, gums and bite with care. We will then recommend options that support long-term results. If another approach is more suitable for your needs, we will explain this clearly and plan your care step by step.


Longevity And Maintenance Expectations
General dental treatments are designed to be durable. No treatment is permanent. How long results last depends on your bite, daily habits, oral hygiene and maintenance. To help you get the most from your care:
Keep up with regular check-ups and professional hygiene visits
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, and clean between your teeth as advised
Avoid habits like nail biting, chewing hard objects, or using teeth to open packaging
If you grind or clench, a protective night guard may be recommended to reduce wear and protect restorations
Tooth-coloured fillings and composite repairs may occasionally need a polish, repair or refresh to maintain comfort and appearance
We will set realistic expectations from the start. You will know how to look after your smile between visits and when to return.

Realistic Outcomes And Limitations
General Dentistry focuses on preserving tooth structure and supporting comfortable function. It is ideal for conservative improvements. Some concerns need more than a simple filling or polish. In these cases, a crown or alternative treatment may be advised for strength and longevity. Composite materials can stain over time and may chip, especially with strong biting forces or certain habits.
Periodic maintenance can help keep them looking and feeling good. Final suitability and outcomes depend on your enamel, bite and overall oral health. We will assess these carefully and explain what is achievable for you. Any preview images or planning photographs are indicative only. Your clinician will set out your likely result with honesty and care.
