Gentle, honest general dentistry in Twickenham
From your routine check-up to emergency care, our friendly St Margarets team has been looking after the everyday dental health of families across Twickenham for over 25 years. Available on the NHS or privately.
What is general dentistry, and why does it matter?
General dentistry covers all the everyday treatments and care that keep your mouth healthy - from your six-monthly check-ups and hygiene visits through to fillings, extractions, root canal treatments and more. It's the foundation of good oral health, the simplest way to catch small problems early, and the route to keeping your natural teeth healthy for life.
At St Margarets Smiles, our general dentistry is built on three things: prevention, gentleness and honest communication. We believe in working alongside our patients to keep their smiles healthy, rather than waiting for things to go wrong. And we always explain what we're recommending and why - in plain English, never jargon.
Importance of regular dental checkups
Regular dental checkups are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. We recommend that all our patients schedule checkups every six months. These visits allow our experienced dentists to monitor your oral health, identify potential issues early, and provide necessary treatments before they develop into more serious problems. During your checkup, we will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, and perform professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing might miss.
Our general dentistry services are designed to protect your teeth and gums from common issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. With our state-of-the-art equipment and advanced diagnostic tools, we can detect even the smallest signs of dental problems, ensuring you receive the appropriate care at the right time.

Helpful and super friendly receptionist and excellent hygienist who took great care. I'm obviously not a fan of going to the dentist but they make it far easier to have a much better experience.
