Visiting the dentist is a regular part of life for most people. However, we often neglect our oral health until we start to experience a toothache or other painful conditions. Dentists are the primary providers of general dentistry, also known as general dental care, which includes oral health examinations, professional cleanings, and fillings.
Many dental procedures we see at TEETH @ Tiong Bahru in Singapore are simply routine check-ups or preventive maintenance in nature. Our dental team discusses risk factors for tooth decay and provides prevention tips for advanced gum disease, emphasising the importance of proper oral hygiene and healthy lifestyle habits.
Beyond routine check-ups, a general dentistry clinic can also perform a range of services, from non-surgical extractions to more complex procedures such as root canal treatment, periodontal therapy, or oral surgery. But what is of utmost importance when selecting a dentist is to find a caring provider who is knowledgeable about the latest dental techniques and oral health strategies.
General dentists can detect and treat the underlying causes of tooth discomfort and periodontal (gum) disease. They can also treat missing teeth, place crowns or bridgework, and assist you in getting fitted for dentures. Some also offer more complex procedures, such as root canal therapy, orthodontics, and dental implants. A wide range of general dental services is provided in our clinic in Singapore.
Preventive Dental Care and Routine Maintenance
Preventive services help you to maintain good oral health by keeping tooth decay and gum disease at bay. Regular exams, which include diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and professional teeth cleanings, are essential to prevention. Our general dentist will also provide you with thorough advice to improve your at-home dental hygiene habits and may even propose other general dental treatment procedures, such as:
- Dental Examinations
- Dental Filings
- Periodontal Treatment
- Regular Maintenance
- Root Canal Treatment
- Tooth Extractions
Restoring A Smile
Our general family dentistry team firmly believe in preserving the teeth you have for as long as they can be functional. Unfortunately, in some cases, restorative services and dental implants are needed. In the past, the only treatment for tooth loss was the use of dentures. However, with advancements in dental technology, teeth restoration techniques now offer a range of options tailored to a patient’s specific needs and priorities. At TEETH @ Tiong Bahru, our highly-qualified dental team works with you to design a completely customised treatment plan, including:
- Dental Crowns, Implants and Bridges
- Inlays and Onlays
- Removable Dentures
- Tooth Surface Loss or Bruxism Management
A Confident, Brighter Smile

- Porcelain Veneers
- Invisalign Clear Aligners Teeth Straightening

General Dental Care for Our Children
Dental care is one of the most important aspects of a child’s overall health. Children are not simply just miniature versions of adults – they require their own specialised paediatric dental care. We aim to provide our children with a strong oral health foundation and, more importantly, an anxiety-free relationship with their family dentists from a young age. Our dental practice service professionals provide services to our little ones, including:
- Dental Examinations
- Extraction
- Fillings
- Orthodontic Treatment
- Root Canal Treatment
- Routine Maintenance
In many ways, your oral health can be viewed as a reflection of your overall health. Some dental issues may be a reflection of other conditions happening elsewhere in the body. General dentists are trained to recognise potential health risks and refer patients accordingly to other healthcare specialists.
Our general family dentistry team will be happy to answer any questions and set up a general dentistry appointment. Remember, prevention is key!
