What Happens at a General Dentistry Appointment in Hougang?

1. 1

   Registration & Medical History

   5–10 minutes

   You'll complete a short form covering your medical history, current medications, and any specific concerns — such as tooth sensitivity, bleeding gums, or dental anxiety. First-time patients may also be asked about their last dental visit.

2. 2

   Clinical Examination & X-rays

   10–15 minutes

   Your dentist visually examines all teeth, gums, and soft tissues. Digital X-rays may be taken to detect issues not visible to the naked eye — such as decay between teeth, bone loss, or impacted wisdom teeth.

3. 3

   Scaling & Polishing (if due)

   20–30 minutes

   Using ultrasonic and hand instruments, your dentist removes calculus (hardened plaque) from above and below the gum line, followed by polishing to remove surface stains. This is the most common reason Hougang residents book a general dentistry visit.

4. 4

   Treatment Planning & Discussion

   5–10 minutes

   Your dentist explains all findings clearly — including any cavities, gum concerns, or teeth that need monitoring — and outlines a treatment plan with costs upfront. Good clinics will never pressure you into same-day treatments.

5. 5

   Additional Treatment or Follow-up Booking

   15–45 minutes (if same-day treatment)

   If a filling, extraction, or further treatment is needed, this may proceed the same day or be scheduled as a follow-up. CHAS-eligible patients should confirm claimable items before leaving.
