General dentistry In Johannesburg

General dentistry refers to a range of dental services that are essential for maintaining overall oral health. These services are focused on preventing and treating common oral health problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. 

By receiving regular general dentistry care, patients can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

General Dentistry Services Offered

At our dental practice, we offer a wide range of general dentistry services to meet the needs of our patients. Our services include:

  • Dental exams and cleanings: Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health. During a dental exam, our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay or disease. We may also take X-rays to check for hidden dental problems. A dental cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from your teeth and polishing them for a clean, fresh feeling.
  • Tooth fillings: If you have a cavity, our dentist may recommend a tooth filling to restore the damaged tooth. We offer a range of filling materials, including tooth-colored fillings that blend in with your natural teeth.
  • Root canal therapy: If you have a severe tooth infection, our dentist may recommend root canal therapy to save the tooth. During a root canal, we will remove the infected pulp and clean the inside of the tooth before sealing it with a filling or crown.
  • Tooth extractions: If a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it may need to be extracted. Our dentist will carefully remove the tooth and provide options for tooth replacement, such as a dental implant or bridge.
  • Treatment of gum disease: Gum disease is a common oral health problem that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. We offer a range of gum disease treatments, including scaling and root planing, to help prevent further damage to the gums and teeth.
  • Treatment of cavities: Cavities are a common dental problem that can be treated with fillings or other restorative treatments.
  • Treatment of dental emergencies: If you have a dental emergency, such as a broken tooth or severe toothache, we offer emergency dental services to provide prompt, effective care.
  • Oral cancer screening: Oral cancer is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early. We offer oral cancer screenings as part of our general dentistry services to help detect any signs of cancer in the mouth.

Importance of Regular Dental Check-Ups

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. By scheduling appointments every six months or as recommended by the dentist, patients can:

  • Prevent tooth decay and gum disease: Regular dental cleanings can help remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease.
  • Detect oral health problems early: Regular dental exams can help detect oral health problems early, when they are easier to treat.
  • Improve overall oral health: By receiving regular dental care, patients can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

  • Oral examination: Our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay or disease.
  • Teeth cleaning: Our dental hygienist will clean your teeth and remove any plaque or tartar buildup.
  • X-rays: Our dentist may take X-rays to check for any hidden dental problems.
  • Treatment recommendations: Our dentist will provide recommendations for any necessary treatments or procedures.

My daughter and I have had such a pleasant experience with The Hills Dental Studio family so far, we first consulted with Dr Surprise who was very professional, patient and thorough in explaining the whole braces procedure and soon thereafter the journey began, oh wait, I have to send a shout out to Fatu, the most amazing Receptionist, forever smiling and warm , as well as Mokgadi the Dr's assistant, you guys are awesome!). FFW.. when it was time for her to have some teeth extracted Dr Craig took over, OMG I was so nervous about this surgery because it was a little complicated, but Dr Craig was so gentle, and the recovery was phenomenal. He is such a great Dr and it is evident that he and Dr Surprise truly love what they do.

A family that truly works like a well-oiled machine to bring exceptional service and ultimately improve Crockett smiles like the one I once had before walking into Hills Dental Studio. The amazing receptionists, Dr. Surprise and Dr. Craig who never seize to smile which is so ironic, considering, and the rest of the staff. I am utterly grateful for the work of these people's hands! It is evident that they love what they do and love who they do it with, including us their patients, the love is just as contagious. And above that, they are skilled and really deliver to exceed expectations! Highly recommended!

I went to Hills Dental Studio earlier today to remove my wisdom tooth. Dr Craig assisted me. I was very nervous but Dr Craig communicated with me throughout the procedure to ensure I was still comfortable and not in pain. This helped me relax. Thank you Dr Craig for your kind and professional service. I will definitely be recommending Hills Dental Studio to everyone I know.
