Great oral health starts with a Dental Checkup.

Regular dental checkups are the key to detecting problems at the earliest stages. Dental Checkups are also an opportunity for a full clean by a trained professional which will prevent a problematic build-up of plaque and refresh your beautiful, bright, smile.

We recommend 6 monthly dental checkups to properly identify any complications and maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Key Benefits of Regular Dental Checkups

• Detect problems early on so you can prevent the majority of teeth and gum disease complications which will save you unnecessary discomfort, time, money and complex treatment.

• Remove problematic build-ups of plaque and tartar which cause bad breath and stained looking teeth

• Receive a professional clean to remove ugly stains and refresh your smile

• Receive a thorough exam by a dentist and X-rays if necessary

• Receive expert consultation and either immediate treatment or a treatment plan if complications are identified

• Leave with a beautiful, clean smile and fresh mouth

Dental Checkup Process

While the services you’ll receive may vary depending on visit frequency or dental history, here’s what you can expect at your first dental checkup:

• A review of your medical history. Tell your dentist about your diet or medications as these may impact your treatment and oral health.

• A visual exam of your mouth, face, jaw and neck

• A visual exam of your teeth, gums and mouth by your dentist

• Full digital diagnostics including X-rays, as determined by your dentist

• Oral cancer screening to detect precancerous conditions and identify mouth cancer

• A conversation with your dentist about any concerns you have regarding your teeth, mouth, or overall oral health—we encourage you to ask questions

• A comprehensive treatment plan, with recommended treatment and ongoing care from your dentist

• Full professional clean of your teeth

• Creation of an electronic dental record to record your history and help with diagnosis and tracking of problem areas
