General & Preventive Dentistry

General Dentistry

Regular examinations, straightforward treatment and preventive advice — the everyday care that keeps small problems from becoming large ones.

Overview

About General Dentistry

General dentistry is the foundation of everything else. A thorough examination looks at your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and picks up changes early, when they are simpler and less expensive to treat.

It also covers the routine treatment that follows: fillings, x-rays where needed, and advice tailored to your own mouth and habits rather than general guidance.

Benefits

Early detection

Changes found early are usually simpler and less costly to treat.

Clear explanations

What we find is explained in plain language, with the options.

Whole-mouth check

Teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, not just the obvious.

A plan that fits

Recall intervals suggested for your own risk, not a fixed rule.

Step by step

How the treatment works

  1. Examination

    A full check of teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues.

  2. X-rays

    Taken where clinically needed to see between and beneath teeth.

  3. Discussion

    Findings explained, with options and costs set out.

  4. Treatment

    Any agreed treatment carried out at your pace.

  5. Recall

    A review interval suggested for your own needs.

Suitability

Who is it for?

Everyone, whether you attend regularly or have not seen a dentist for some years. If it has been a long time, you are welcome — the examination is the same, and the aim is to understand where things stand before discussing anything else.

A professional assessment is always needed. The guidance on this page is general information, not advice about your own teeth. Whether this treatment is right for you can only be decided after an examination by one of our clinicians.

Clinical Gallery

Photography from the practice’s own image library.

About these images. Every photograph here comes from Liphook Smile Studio's own website — none is stock and none is AI-generated. They are shown as a clinical gallery rather than as before-and-after pairs, because the source site does not state which image is which. Supply matched, consented pairs and they will replace these.
Questions

General Dentistry FAQs

If your question is not here, please ask when you contact the practice.

How often should I have a check-up?

It depends on your own risk. Some people need more frequent visits than others; your dentist will suggest an interval that suits your mouth rather than applying a single rule to everyone.

I have not been to a dentist for years. Will I be judged?

No. A great many people come back after a long gap and it is entirely normal. The examination is simply the starting point.

Are you accepting new patients?

Please contact the practice on 01428 723096 and our team will confirm current availability.

Do you see children?

Please ask when you contact us. Under-16 examinations are free where a parent or guardian is a regular patient seen within the last 12 months.

What will it cost?

Our full private price list is published on this website. Fees for more complex work are confirmed in writing after assessment.
