Dental Check-Ups

We recommend that most people visit the dentist for a check-up appointment every six months. This helps us keep an eye on your teeth and gums, and provide regular tips and treatment to protect your smile from decay and gum disease. Your dentist will let you know when to book your next appointment based on your individual oral health needs.

During your routine check-up, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and mouth, looking for early signs of gum disease, tooth cavities, or other issues. They will also answer any questions you have, help you improve your oral hygiene routine at home, if needed, and give personalised advice to keep your mouth healthy.

Yes, we include an oral cancer screening as standard in all routine check-ups. We carefully check your mouth, tongue and throat for any lumps, patches or other unusual signs or symptoms, providing peace of mind. If we discover anything, we’ll help you with the next steps.

Yes, we welcome children to our practice and love helping them get started on their journey to life-long excellent oral health. We recommend that you bring your children to the dentist from an early age, getting them used to the practice surroundings and showing them there is nothing to be scared of with dental care. As they get older, children should attend check-ups every six months so we can monitor the development of their teeth and jaw.

If a problem is detected, your dentist will explain the diagnosis clearly and discuss all available treatment options with you. We will provide a written treatment plan and estimate of costs before any work begins.
