Check-ups & Cleaning
A thorough exam, professional cleaning and scaling to keep gums healthy and teeth bright.
Every visit starts with a careful examination of your teeth, gums and soft tissues, with X-rays where needed to catch problems early.
A professional clean removes the plaque and hardened tartar a brush can’t reach. We then polish the teeth and give you practical tips for your daily routine at home.
For most patients we recommend a visit every six months — prevention is always simpler and cheaper than treatment.
Common questions
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Usually not. You may feel mild sensitivity if the gums are inflamed; we can use a local anaesthetic to keep the session completely comfortable.
How often should I see a dentist?
Every six months for most people. We may suggest more frequent visits if you are prone to gum disease or decay.
