Procedure

A standard check-up usually includes:

  • Examination: We check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
  • X-rays: If necessary, we may take X-rays to detect any hidden problems not visible during the exam.
  • Cleaning: Our hygienist will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
  • Personalized Advice: We’ll provide tailored advice on how to improve your oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, and diet.

Check-ups usually take around 30 minutes and are a quick way to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.

Tips for Patients Ahead of Their Scheduled Check-Up

Brush and Floss Before Your Appointment

While our team will give your teeth a thorough clean, it’s a good idea to brush and floss before your appointment to help ensure your teeth and gums are in the best possible condition. This also gives us a clear view of your oral health and makes the cleaning process easier and more effective.
