check-up/exam

The price of a check-up, including the exam and any X-rays needed, can vary depending on what’s required. We sometimes offer special pricing, so it’s always worth asking when you book. Our team will gladly go over all costs with you so there are no surprises.

An annual check-up is essential for keeping your mouth and teeth healthy. When we catch small issues early, it can help prevent more serious (and often costly) treatments later. Regular check-ups also help us spot signs of gum disease or tooth decay before they worsen, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.

If we find any issues, like a cavity that needs filling, we’ll discuss all options with you and give you our best recommendations. We accept a variety of payment methods and offer flexible payment options, so you can get the care you need without stress. Just ask us about what’s available, and we’ll find something that works for you!

A standard dental check-up with X-rays is typically painless. You might feel some mild discomfort if we touch a sensitive spot, but most patients have no trouble. Our team is gentle and works carefully to ensure you’re comfortable from start to finish.

We recommend at least one check-up per year, though some people benefit from visiting every six months. Regular X-rays help us see what’s happening below the surface, especially with your molars and areas that are hard to see with the naked eye. This routine care is a big part of keeping your smile in top shape.

The X-rays we typically use are called bitewing X-rays, named after the small device you bite down on for a clear image of your back teeth. These X-rays are great for spotting any hidden problems, like cavities between teeth. For a more comprehensive view, we can take panoramic X-rays, which show the whole mouth and help identify any deeper issues like impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, or signs of infection.

You’re not alone—a lot of people feel the same way. Our goal is to make your visit as relaxing as possible, and we’re always here to listen. Let us know if you’re feeling nervous, and we’ll make sure to go at your pace, explain everything as we go, and provide any extra support you might need to feel comfortable.

Usually, we’ll schedule fillings for a separate appointment, so we have enough time to give you the best care. That said, if the dentist has time and it’s a simple filling, we may be able to do it during your check-up—just let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Great question! Keeping your teeth and gums healthy involves more than just regular dental visits. At home, brushing twice daily and flossing once a day are essential. We also recommend professional cleanings twice a year to remove plaque buildup that brushing can’t tackle. This combination keeps your mouth healthy and your smile looking great.

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know you and understand your dental history. We’ll take the time to talk through any concerns, review your oral health, and create a personalised plan for your ongoing care. This extra time helps us provide the best possible care for you right from the start.
