General Dentistry in McKennell Dental Practice
The key to oral hygiene!
General Dentistry—an Overview
A beautiful, self-assured smile begins with regular dental checkups. General dentistry and its key dental procedures are critical for maintaining your oral health and preventing little issues from escalating into major dental emergencies. General dentistry in McKennell Dental Practice focuses on routine check-ups, preventive treatments, and restorations that lay the groundwork for optimal oral and general health. General dentistry procedures like check-ups, dental cleanings and fillings are examples of general dentistry operations that result in a healthy and pleasant smile.
Is General Dentistry Essential?
Many believe that dental visits are necessary solely in cases of severe pain. We disagree on this point, and here’s why:
- Early detection & prevention: General dentistry uncovers and treats cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear before they need expensive procedures.
- Oral health for all ages: General dentistry provides treatments for both children and the elderly, with specialised care for each age group.
- Scientific studies: These show that dental health is linked to heart and intestinal health, as well as mental health, thus excellent oral health improves overall health.
Types of General Dentistry Services
- Routine check-ups: These are scheduled dental exams that can detect cavities, gum disease, and bite problems early.
- Fillings: They use strong, natural-looking tooth cements to repair damaged, worn, or fractured teeth, restoring your natural teeth.
- Teeth cleaning: Having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis removes plaque and tartar accumulation, promoting gum health and lowering your risk of cavities.
- Preventive treatments: This includes dental sealants and fluoride therapy, which help protect teeth, particularly those that are hard to access, from cavities.
- Extractions: If a root canal fails, it is recommended to have it extracted without pain and seek assistance while replacing the missing tooth.
We regularly provide consultations and general dentistry treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say

I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.



Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
