General Dentistry

Gentle, everyday care for the whole family.

What it is

General dentistry is the everyday care that keeps your family's teeth and gums healthy — a thorough check-up, a comfortable cleaning, simple fillings, root canal treatment when it's needed, and gentle extractions.

Who it's for

Everyone in the family — children, teenagers, parents, and grandparents. We recommend a visit every six months, even when nothing hurts, because most dental problems are quiet until they're not.

What to expect on the day

You'll start with a friendly chat about anything that's been bothering you, followed by a full exam and digital X-rays if needed. We walk you through what we find in plain language, agree on what makes sense, and most routine treatment is done the same day.

How long it takes

30–60 minutes for a routine visit.

A healthy mouth is the foundation of a healthy body. Our general dentistry team puts prevention first — catching small things early, when treatment is simpler, quicker, and easier on your pocket.

Common questions

Everything you've wanted to ask

How often should I come in for a check-up?

Every six months is a good rhythm for most people in the family. If you've had gum trouble, a few cavities in the past, or you're wearing braces, we'll suggest coming in a little more often so we can catch anything small before it becomes something big.

My tooth hurts but I don't see a cavity — what's going on?

Pain doesn't always come from a cavity you can see. It could be a tiny crack, sore gums, sinus pressure, night-time grinding, or an infection starting deeper inside the tooth. Come in and let us have a proper look with a quick X-ray — we'll find the cause and tell you exactly what's going on.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes — we accept most major Ethiopian insurance providers, and we're happy to call your provider for you before any treatment to confirm what's covered. For larger treatments we also offer simple payment plans, so the cost can be spread out and never gets in the way of the care your family needs.
