Preventive Dentistry
A thorough check-up and professional clean that keeps small issues small and your smile feeling fresh.
Overview
Your examination is an unhurried, head-to-toe review of your oral health: teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite and jaw joints, supported by digital imaging where clinically appropriate. Your hygiene appointment removes plaque and staining that home brushing cannot reach, leaving teeth clean, smooth and noticeably brighter.
Everyone. Regular examinations are the foundation of lifelong oral health, whether it has been six months or six years since your last visit.
Please note: Treatment suitability must be confirmed by a qualified dentist at an in-person clinical assessment. This website is for general information only and does not replace professional dental advice. Treatment suitability can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment, and results vary between patients.
Step by Step
01
We start by listening — your history, any concerns, and what you want from your smile.
02
A systematic check of every tooth, your gums, soft tissues and bite, with digital X-rays only when needed.
03
Gentle ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque, tartar and surface staining.
04
We explain what we found in plain language and agree any next steps together — with no pressure.
Expected timeline: A single visit of around an hour. Most patients return every six months; we will recommend an interval based on your individual risk.
Questions
Most patients benefit from a check-up every six months, but your dentist will recommend an interval based on your individual oral health and risk factors.
Most patients find it comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or feel anxious, tell us — we can adjust our approach and pace.
No. We take digital X-rays only when they are clinically justified, typically every one to two years for healthy mouths.
