General Dentistry
What is General Dentistry?
General dentistry is the foundation of all dental care, focusing on preventing and diagnosing dental issues to keep your smile healthy and bright. At Smile Works, we offer a full spectrum of general dentistry services, from routine check-ups and cleanings to emergency treatments, delivering the comprehensive dental care you deserve.
Why is General Dentistry Essential?
Prevention of tooth decay and gum disease
Regular check-ups and cleanings effectively minimise the risk of cavities and gingivitis.
Improved aesthetics and function
General dentistry can address issues like misalignment, stains, and tooth loss to keep your smile both functional and beautiful.
Early detection of oral health issues
Regular visits ensure issues like cavities, gum disease, or even early oral cancer, are identified and addressed early to make treatment easier.
Enhanced overall health
Your oral health is linked to your overall well-being. Regular visits ensure you maintain a healthy mouth, which can contribute to a healthier body.

Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we listen to your needs and goals for your smile. We'll assess your oral health and discuss treatment options.

Our dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding areas. We may take X-rays or use an intra-oral camera to better understand your needs.
Tailored Treatment Plan
After your diagnosis, we will create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. We’ll explain all options and make sure you're informed and confident in your decisions.
Treatment & Care
Whether it's a routine cleaning, restorative procedure, or a cosmetic treatment, our team will perform the treatment with the highest level of care and expertise.
Post-treatment Follow-up
Our team make sure your recovery is as smooth as possible by scheduling follow-up visits and providing guidance on post-treatment care.

What is the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme?
Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme*
Eligibility to request assistance in the event of:
- Dental Trauma
- Dental Emergency
- Oral Cancer
- Redundancy
* The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme is a scheme established to offer support and assistance to dental plan patients who request treatment following a dental trauma and/or dental emergency or oral cancer. The Scheme responds to requests for assistance on a wholly discretionary basis. This means that, whilst the Scheme aims to provide benefits in most cases, it has no obligation to provide any benefit unless it first decides (in its sole and absolute discretion) that it should provide a benefit. There are some circumstances in which the Scheme is not designed to help, and these are explained in more detail in the Scheme Handbook. Each request will be looked at individually to assess the request for benefit. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply in the event that the request is accepted, and it is possible that the Scheme will decide to provide no benefit.
