What it is
A dental check-up, explained.
Think of it as a full-mouth “status check”: teeth, gums, bite and any areas that might need attention. It’s the easiest way to stay ahead of problems, keep treatment minimal, and stay comfortable long-term.
-
Teeth & existing work Decay, cracks, worn edges, fillings/crowns , checked carefully.
-
Gums & bone support Early signs of gum disease, inflammation and pocketing.
-
Bite & jaw comfort Uneven pressure, clenching/grinding patterns, tenderness.
-
Personalised advice Simple next steps, tailored home care and options (no pressure).
Most patients benefit from a check-up every 6–12 months. If you’ve had gum concerns, lots of dental work, or higher risk factors, we may recommend 3–6 months, keeping issues small and care predictable.
