Regular Dental Check-Ups
Routine dental visits are key to maintaining a healthy smile and preventing problems before they start.
As many as 70.1% of people suffer from some form of gum disease, so regular check-ups are essential. Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing isn’t normal—these signs often point to gum issues that can lead to tooth loss if untreated. Gum disease is also one of the most common causes of bad breath.
During your check-up, we will check for:
- Cavities and early signs of decay
- Jaw and bite alignment problems
- Damage to existing fillings, crowns, or dental work
- Signs of gum disease or inflammation
- Any unusual symptoms, including oral cancer screening
Our Dental Examination Process
- We begin by listening to your concerns and discussing your dental history.
- We’ll examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure everything looks healthy.
- If necessary, we may recommend digital X-rays to get a clearer view.
- We’ll explain any issues we find and go over your treatment options with you.
Scale and Clean
A regular scale and clean is one of the simplest ways to maintain great oral health and avoid costly treatments down the track.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing can’t shift—especially around the gumline and in between your teeth. Left untreated, tartar can lead to gum disease.
Polishing follows the scaling and smooths the surface of your teeth, removing minor stains and leaving your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
Most people experience no pain during a scale and clean, though if your gums are sensitive, you might feel a little discomfort. We recommend this treatment every 6 to 12 months, depending on your oral health and our advice during your visit.
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity or minor damage to a tooth, a dental filling can restore both its strength and appearance.
During the procedure, we’ll gently remove the decayed area, clean it thoroughly, and apply a filling material that matches your natural tooth colour. The process is quick, and with modern numbing techniques, you’ll feel little to no discomfort.
Fillings will:
- Stop further decay
- Restore normal tooth function
- Relieve sensitivity
- Blend in naturally with your teeth
With proper care, dental fillings can last for many years and help you keep your smile healthy and functional.
