What We Mean By General Dentistry
General dentistry covers routine and restorative care that protects oral health, limits disease and keeps teeth working well. At our London clinic the focus is on assessment, prevention and conservative treatment. We aim to preserve natural tooth structure and support comfortable function. This is the foundation of long-term oral health for many of our patients.
● Regular check-ups and clinical assessments
● Hygienist-led cleaning, plaque control and gum health support
● Diagnosis and treatment of tooth decay
● Conservative tooth-coloured restorations
● Individual maintenance plans based on your level of risk
Each element is designed to be clear, efficient and appropriate for your needs.
Your First Appointment
Your first visit centres on a clear assessment and shared decision-making. We take time to understand what matters to you.
● Discuss your medical and dental history, current concerns and daily routines that affect oral health
● Examine teeth, gums and soft tissues, and review your bite and function
● Use appropriate imaging or digital scans if needed to support diagnosis and planning
● Explain findings in plain language and outline sensible options with benefits and limitations
● Agree a practical plan for treatment or prevention that reflects your priorities, timing and budget
You will receive a concise written summary so you can make informed choices. You can review it later.
Conservative Restorative Treatments
When treatment is needed, we use minimally invasive methods that preserve healthy tooth tissue. Common general dentistry treatments include:
● Tooth-coloured restorations for decay or minor fractures
● Repair or replacement of existing restorations where appropriate
● Management of sensitivity, wear and simple trauma-related issues
Materials are chosen for strength and appearance, so repairs look natural and feel stable. If specialist input would improve long-term outcomes, we will explain why and, with your agreement, arrange referral. We remain involved in follow-up and maintenance.
Monitoring And Long-Term Maintenance
General dentistry is an ongoing partnership. Regular reviews let us monitor changes, manage risk and adapt care as your needs evolve. Recall intervals are set by individual risk and response.
Some patients benefit from more frequent visits to stabilise gum disease or wear. Others are well served by annual reviews with routine hygiene. We explain why a visit is advised, so you can plan with confidence. Clear records help track progress and support long-term oral health.
Comfort, Safety And Modern Dentistry
Square Mile Dental Centre uses contemporary clinical protocols and equipment. Where helpful for diagnosis and planning, we use digital imaging and intra-oral scanning. These tools improve precision, reduce chair time and give you clearer guidance.
Gentle technique and local anaesthesia help keep treatment comfortable. Robust infection control protects you and our team at every visit. We talk you through each step. The aim is a calm experience and sensible decisions about your care.
Supporting Busy Schedules
Many South Bank residents and professionals juggle demanding diaries. We offer appointment options that aim to be efficient and transparent. You will know what to expect, how long it may take and any likely downtime.
When planning several visits, we group stages where sensible to minimise disruption. Clear estimates and timeframes help you plan around work. If your timetable changes, we will rebook and keep progress on track.
Clear Communication And Informed Consent
Good dentistry relies on good communication. Before any treatment you will receive straightforward information about what is involved, likely outcomes and sensible aftercare. We explain benefits, limitations and alternatives in plain language.
Questions are encouraged, and there is no rush to decide. Illustrations, scans or photos may be used to support understanding. These are indicative only and not a guarantee of the final result. Our aim is informed consent and confidence at each stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a dull toothache that comes and goes. Is it worth getting checked?
Yes, it is worth arranging an appointment. Intermittent discomfort can still point to a developing issue such as decay, a crack or bite-related irritation. Having it assessed early often makes things simpler and helps avoid a more disruptive problem later.
One of my teeth feels different when I bite down. What could that mean?
A tooth that suddenly feels odd under pressure may be reacting to wear, a small crack, or an older repair that needs attention. Even without strong pain, it is sensible to have it reviewed before the discomfort becomes more noticeable.
I keep getting food trapped between two teeth. Should I be concerned?
Food trapping is worth checking, especially if it is happening regularly in the same spot. It can make cleaning difficult and may lead to irritation, decay or soreness around the gum. A dentist can identify the cause and advise the best fix.
My gum feels sore in one area, but I am not sure why. Should I wait?
It is better not to ignore localised gum soreness if it does not settle quickly. It may be linked to trapped food, brushing trauma, inflammation or an underlying dental issue. Early advice can help prevent a small problem becoming more uncomfortable.
I am very busy this month. Can I deal with one problem first and plan the rest later?
Yes, that is often a practical approach. If one area is bothering you, the immediate concern can be assessed and managed first, while any other findings are explained clearly and planned around your schedule in a way that feels manageable.
My tooth does not hurt, but it looks darker than the one next to it. Should I book an assessment?
Yes, a change in colour is worth checking even without pain. Sometimes it is harmless staining, but it can also reflect changes inside the tooth after past trauma or wear. An assessment helps clarify the cause and what, if anything, is needed.
