Check Up & Clean

A healthy smile starts with regular check-ups and cleans

Regular check-ups and professional cleans are one of the simplest ways to maintain your oral health and keep track of any changes over time.
Even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to clean at home. If left untreated, this build-up may contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
A routine check-up gives your dentist the opportunity to assess your teeth, gums and overall oral health, while a professional clean helps remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas. These appointments can also help identify potential concerns early, allowing treatment options to be discussed before problems become more complex.
Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last visit, a check-up and clean is an important part of maintaining a healthy smile.

What to expect at your check-up and clean

Your appointment is designed to give a thorough assessment of your oral health and support ongoing preventive care.

It typically includes:

• Dental X-rays where required
• A comprehensive dental examination
• Digital photographs to support assessment
• Professional clean and polish
• Fluoride treatment
• Personalised treatment plan

Your first visit is about understanding your oral health and getting a clear picture of your individual needs.

Getting to know you, including your lifestyle and daily habits, helps us understand the factors that can influence your dental health. This allows us to provide care that is appropriate for your situation and support a tailored treatment plan where needed.

Assessment

A dental examination typically includes a visual assessment of your teeth and gums to check for any potential concerns. Dental X-rays may also be taken to look at areas that aren’t visible during a routine examination.
We record which teeth and fillings are present and assess for signs of tooth decay or gum disease. Digital photographs may also be taken to support your assessment and help you better understand your oral health.

Professional clean and discussion

Following your clean and polish, which helps remove plaque and surface stains, your dentist will discuss the findings with you in a clear and easy to understand way, often using digital images to explain what has been found and outline any recommended next steps.
This approach helps support ongoing oral health and reduce the risk of future dental issues.
