DENTAL HEALTH EXAMINATIONS

Know your smile.
Plan your care.

A dental health examination is a chance to assess your oral health and discuss any changes or concerns, even when you are not experiencing pain.

Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and the soft tissues of your mouth. X-rays may be recommended when they are needed to help investigate areas that cannot be assessed by examination alone.

We explain our findings, discuss any treatment options and answer your questions. Your next examination is recommended according to your individual needs and risk of dental disease.

Ask us a question
01 What happens at a dental examination?

We discuss your health and concerns, examine your mouth and explain our findings. Further checks or treatment are recommended where needed.

02 Do I need a check-up if nothing hurts?

Some dental problems cause few early symptoms. An examination can help identify concerns and plan appropriate preventive care.

03 Will I always need X-rays?

No. Your dentist considers whether X-rays are clinically necessary for your assessment.

04 How often should I have an examination?

There is no single interval for everyone. Your dentist recommends a review schedule based on your oral health and individual risk.

We will explain the charges and any proposed treatment plan before you decide. Costs depend on the care that is appropriate for you.
