Routine dental check-ups are the foundation of excellent oral health. Our comprehensive dental examinations help prevent issues before they become serious problems, saving you time, discomfort and expense.
A routine dental check-up is a preventive appointment that thoroughly examines your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. During your dental appointment, our professionals assess your oral health, perform professional cleaning, and provide personalised advice for home care. We recommend that most patients schedule a dental check-up every six months. Digital images may be recommended every couple of years, to check those areas not visible with the naked eye, such as between the teeth and under the gum line.
Regular dental examinations allow us to detect issues like decay, gum disease, oral cancer and other conditions in their earliest stages. Professional cleaning removes stain, plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot eliminate. Routine visits also help monitor existing dental work and track changes in your oral health and dietary habits over time.
During your appointment, our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to determine if you have any problems. We’ll perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and may take X-rays if needed. The process typically takes 20-30 minutes
Regular dental check-ups prevent costly treatments by addressing issues before they worsen. Professional cleaning helps maintain fresh breath, a brighter smile, and healthier gums. Your routine dental check-up includes personalised recommendations for improving your home care routine.
Most patients experience no side effects from routine check-ups. Some may feel slight sensitivity after cleaning, which typically resolves within 24 hours.
We are one of Victoria’s first QIP-accredited dental practices and maintain the highest standards of care. We use modern equipment and follow stringent sterilisation protocols to ensure your safety during every dental examination.
