Overview
Ongoing care for everyday oral health.
General dentistry is the primary starting point for routine dental care. It brings together examination, prevention, diagnosis and common restorative treatment within an ongoing professional relationship between a patient and dental practice.
A general dentist may provide treatment directly, coordinate care within the practice or refer a patient to another dental professional when a concern requires specialized assessment. Individual treatment recommendations depend on a clinical examination and the patient’s circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
General dentistry,
clearly explained.
What does a general dentist typically provide?
General dentists commonly provide examinations, professional cleanings, preventative care, diagnostic assessment and routine restorative treatment. Services vary by practice and patient need.
How often should routine dental visits occur?
The appropriate interval varies from person to person. A dentist or dental hygienist can recommend timing after considering oral health, medical history, previous treatment and current risk factors.
Can a general dentist refer to a specialist?
Yes. When assessment or treatment falls outside the practice’s scope, a general dentist may refer a patient to an appropriate dental specialist.
Is cosmetic treatment part of general dentistry?
Some general practices provide cosmetic services. DowntownVancouver.ca separates Cosmetic Dentistry into its own pathway so appearance-focused treatment can be evaluated independently.
Does this page provide dental advice or diagnosis?
No. This page provides general service information. Diagnosis and treatment recommendations require assessment by a licensed dental professional.
