What is general dentistry?

General dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps your mouth healthy: examinations, professional cleaning, fillings, extractions and minor oral surgery. It diagnoses, prevents and treats common dental problems for patients of every age.

At Prudent Dental Care Clinic in Viman Nagar, your general dental care is led by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS), a general and cosmetic dentist with 27 years of experience. Every visit starts with a careful check-up. That way, any treatment is planned around what you actually need.

What happens at a general dental visit?

A typical appointment is unhurried, so you always understand what is happening and why.

Examination. Your teeth, gums and bite are checked, with a digital X-ray taken only when it adds useful information.
Discussion. Any findings are explained in plain language, along with your options.
Treatment. Cleaning, a filling or another procedure is carried out, under local anaesthesia where needed.
Aftercare & prevention. You get guidance to keep the result healthy and reduce future problems.

Why routine dental care matters

The World Health Organization notes that most oral diseases are largely preventable and can be managed in their early stages. Regular care helps you avoid bigger, more involved treatment later.

Catch tooth decay and gum disease early, when treatment is simpler
Keep your natural teeth healthy for longer
Professional cleaning removes hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing cannot
Spot wider issues, since the mouth can reflect aspects of general health

What about cost?

There is no single price for general dentistry, because it depends on what you need. A routine check-up is very different from a filling, an extraction or a surgical procedure. After we examine you and discuss your options, we give you a clear, personalised quote so you know exactly what to expect before anything goes ahead.

FAQ

General dentistry FAQs

How often should I visit the dentist?

For most people, a check-up and professional cleaning every six months helps catch problems early. Your dentist may suggest more or less frequent visits based on your gum health, history of decay and individual risk.

What does a general dental check-up involve?

Dr. Bansal examines your teeth, gums and bite, looks for signs of decay or gum disease, and may take a digital X-ray when needed. You will then receive a clear explanation of any findings and your options before any treatment is planned.

Is a routine dental visit painful?

A routine examination and cleaning are not usually painful. If treatment such as a filling or extraction is needed, it is carried out under local anaesthesia so the area is numb, and any after-effects are generally mild and short-lived.

Do you treat children at the clinic?

Yes. Gentle, child-friendly care is available through our pediatric (kids) dentistry service. Early visits help children become comfortable at the dentist and allow us to monitor their developing teeth.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call the clinic as soon as possible to describe your symptoms, such as severe pain, swelling or a broken tooth, so we can advise you and arrange to be seen. Avoid self-medicating beyond ordinary pain relief until you have spoken to us.

How much does general dentistry cost in Pune?

Cost depends on what you actually need. A simple check-up differs from a filling, extraction or surgical procedure. We assess you first and give you a clear, personalised quote after your consultation rather than a fixed online price.
