Regular routine check-ups are important – not just for the teeth but also the gums and the mouth as a whole. If there are any changes that need to be treated, such as tooth decay or gum disease, these can often be detected in the early stages, making treatment more straight-forward. Regular visits can also help identify risks so that preventive strategies can be put in place. Most dentists recommend a routine dental check-up every 6 to 12 months, but a cookie cutter approach does not necessarily work for everyone. Some may need to visit a dentist more or less frequently and the dentist will advise how often a check-up is required.

A routine six month or annual check-up and clean from the independent dentists operating from our centres will generally include:
Your consultation appointment will take approximately 30 minutes. Your dentist will discuss treatment options and provide you with a treatment plan and quote. This information will also include the amount of appointments required and time required for each procedure. You may require some additional imaging which the dentist will arrange for you.
This appointment will also be your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
When the dentist provides you with your treatment options, what to expect following your treatment will also be discussed.
