General & Family Dentistry in Canggu, Bali

What does general and family dentistry cover?

General and family dentistry is the everyday care that keeps teeth and gums healthy across all ages. It includes checkups, scale and polish cleans, fillings, and advice on preventing decay and gum problems. At Saka Dental Studio in Canggu, the same team looks after adults and children, so families can be seen together and build a relationship with a dentist they know.

A typical visit starts with an examination and, where useful, X-rays. Your dentist explains what they find in plain language, sets out any options with indicative costs, and only proceeds with care you have agreed to.

What happens at a checkup and clean?

A checkup and clean is a short, comfortable appointment that usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and bite, checks for early signs of decay or gum disease, and removes plaque and tartar with a professional clean. You then receive tailored advice on brushing, diet and home care.

If a filling or other treatment is needed, it can often be carried out in the same visit, which suits visiting patients on a short stay. Routine fillings are placed under local anaesthetic where appropriate, and your dentist explains the steps beforehand so you know what to expect.

Is this suitable for children and visiting families?

Yes. We see children for checkups, cleans, fluoride advice and fillings, and we take time to keep early visits relaxed. Family appointments can usually be grouped on the same day, which helps parents fit dental care around school, work and travel. An English-speaking team means children and parents can ask questions freely.

For Canggu residents and long-stay visitors, regular care helps catch small issues before they become larger ones. The Australian Dental Association advises that checkup intervals be tailored to each person rather than fixed, so your dentist suggests a recall schedule that suits your individual needs.

How much does it cost and how do I book?

General appointments start from IDR 400,000 (around A$38), with checkups, cleans and fillings quoted clearly before any treatment begins. We confirm the full cost after your examination, so you can decide with complete information and no hidden fees.

Booking is straightforward: message us on WhatsApp with your preferred days and times, and we will confirm the earliest available appointment. We keep our schedule flexible and can often accommodate short-notice requests for residents and travelling families.
