Everyday dental care, all in one place
General dentistry is the foundation of a healthy mouth — the regular care that keeps small problems small. Here's what we look after for you and your family at Code Clinic.
Check-ups & exams
A thorough, painless look at your teeth and gums to catch issues early — when they're easiest and cheapest to fix.
Cleaning & scaling
Professional removal of plaque and tartar your toothbrush can't reach, leaving your mouth fresh and healthy.
Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings that repair decay and restore your tooth quietly and naturally — fully numbed and comfortable.
Tooth extractions
When a tooth can't be saved, we remove it calmly and gently, with your comfort and aftercare fully looked after.
Root canal treatment
Save a badly infected tooth and end the pain, with modern, comfortable techniques that protect your natural smile.
IV sedation
For very anxious children and adults, IV sedation lets you sleep through treatment comfortably and safely, fully monitored from start to finish.
The best dental treatment is the one you never need
Most painful procedures — fillings, extractions, root canals — start as tiny problems that could have been stopped early. Our prevention-first approach catches and seals those problems before they ever hurt, often without a single drill.
Fissure sealants
A thin protective coating painted into the grooves of back teeth, sealing out the bacteria that cause decay — quick, painless, and especially valuable for children.
Fluoride varnish
A protective varnish that strengthens enamel and helps reverse the very earliest signs of decay, keeping teeth resilient between visits.
Silver diamine fluoride
A simple liquid that arrests active decay without any drilling or injections — a gentle, no-needle way to stop cavities in their tracks.
If fear has kept you away, you're exactly who we're here for
Dental fear — dentophobia — is real, common, and nothing to be ashamed of. Many of our most loyal patients arrived terrified, sometimes after years of avoiding any dentist. We meet you with patience, not judgement.
- We move at your pace — you're always in control, and we stop the moment you need a break.
- We explain everything before we do it. No surprises, no "just trust me."
- Painless techniques and gentle numbing mean treatment is far calmer than you remember.
- A first visit can be just a chat — no instruments, no treatment — until you feel ready.
- For the most fearful, IV sedation lets you sleep comfortably through treatment, safely monitored throughout.

Tell us you're anxious when you book — by WhatsApp or phone — and we'll plan your visit around your comfort from the very first moment. You set the pace, you can raise a hand to pause at any time, and we'll celebrate every step you take. Thousands of Ugandans who once dreaded the dentist now sit in our chair calmly. You can too.

General dentistry in Kampala — answered
I'm terrified of the dentist. Can you still help me?
Yes — and you're not alone. We're known across Kampala for caring for nervous and phobic patients. We go at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and use gentle, painless techniques. Many patients who avoided the dentist for years now attend us comfortably.
What does general dentistry include?
It covers your routine and everyday needs: check-ups and examinations, professional cleaning and scaling, fillings, tooth extractions, root canal treatment, and advice on keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
How often should I have a check-up?
For most people, a check-up and clean every six months is ideal, though some need to come more or less often. Regular visits catch small problems early — while they're simpler, cheaper and more comfortable to treat.
Does a check-up or filling hurt?
No — painless dentistry is at the core of what we do. A check-up is completely painless, and for treatments like fillings we make sure the area is fully numb and comfortable before we begin.
Do you offer sedation for very anxious patients?
Yes. For very anxious or phobic children and adults, we offer IV sedation — you stay deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout treatment while being safe and closely monitored. It's ideal for patients whose fear has made ordinary treatment feel impossible.
How can I avoid painful procedures in the first place?
Prevention is at the heart of how we work. Using fissure sealants, fluoride varnish and silver diamine fluoride, we protect teeth and stop early decay without drilling — so many patients never reach the point of needing fillings, extractions or other painful procedures.
How much does a dental visit cost in Uganda?
It depends on what your teeth need, which we can only know after looking. We're transparent about pricing and explain your options before any treatment, so there are never any surprises.
