What Happens at a General Dentistry Visit in Tampines?
- 1
Initial Consultation & Medical History
5–10 minutesYour dentist reviews your dental and medical history, asks about any pain, sensitivity, or concerns, and discusses your oral hygiene habits. New patients are encouraged to mention dental anxiety so the team can adjust their approach.
- 2
Dental Examination & X-Rays
10–15 minutesThe dentist performs a thorough check of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. X-rays may be taken to spot problems not visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth or bone loss.
- 3
Scaling & Polishing (Professional Clean)
20–30 minutesAn ultrasonic scaler removes hardened tartar and plaque build-up from tooth surfaces and along the gumline. A polishing paste then removes surface stains, leaving teeth smoother and less prone to future plaque accumulation.
- 4
Treatment Planning & Discussion
5–10 minutesYour dentist walks you through any findings — for example, a cavity needing a filling or early gum inflammation — and presents your treatment options clearly, including costs, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
- 5
Preventive Advice & Follow-Up Booking
5 minutesYou receive personalised brushing and flossing tips, dietary advice if relevant, and a recommended timeline for your next visit. If a filling or other treatment is needed, a follow-up appointment is scheduled before you leave.
Is General Dentistry Right for You? (Almost Always Yes)
Good candidates
- Adults and children of any age who want a routine checkup and professional clean every 6 months
- Families looking for one trusted clinic that can see both parents and young children in the same visit
- Patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to anxiety and want a gentle, non-judgmental experience
- CHAS, Pioneer Generation, or Merdeka Generation cardholders seeking subsidised dental care at an enrolled clinic
May need extra assessment
- Patients with active gum disease (periodontitis) may need a deeper periodontal cleaning before standard scaling is suitable
- Children under 3 years old or those with special needs may benefit from a dentist with specific paediatric experience — worth confirming when booking
- Patients on blood thinners or with certain medical conditions should inform the dentist in advance, as some procedures may need medical clearance first
