In plain language

What a comprehensive check-up involves

A check-up is far more than a quick glance. We examine your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and screen for things you can't see or feel yet.

We explain what we find in plain language, often on screen, so you understand your own mouth and leave knowing exactly where you stand.

Why regular check-ups are worth it

Most dental problems are painless until they're advanced. Decay, gum disease and cracks grow quietly, and by the time they hurt, treatment is bigger. Regular check-ups catch them while they're small and gentle to fix.

Catch problems early

Small issues are easier, cheaper and gentler to treat.

Prevent emergencies

Avoid painful surprises down the track.

Understand your mouth

See what's going on and how to keep it healthy.

Is this right for you?

A check-up is a good idea if…

It's been six months (or much longer) since your last visit
You've noticed sensitivity, bleeding gums or a rough edge
You want to stay ahead of problems rather than react
You're overdue and feel nervous about coming back
You simply want peace of mind about your teeth

How often should I have a check-up?

For most people every six months, though we'll tailor it to you.

It's been years, will you judge me?

Never. We see this every week, you'll get a way forward, not a lecture.

Will I need X-rays?

Only when they genuinely help us see something we can't otherwise.

Does a check-up hurt?

No, it's gentle and there's rarely any discomfort.
