More than a look, at your teeth

A proper dental examination covers far more than most people expect — teeth, gums, tongue, lips, cheeks, jaw joints and an oral cancer screen, every single time.

What happens during your check-up

Around 20–30 minutes, start to finish. Never rushed, always explained.

01

Full mouth examination

Teeth, gums and existing dental work, checked thoroughly.

02

X-rays where needed

Digital, low-dose, reviewed with you on screen.

03

Head, neck & jaw check

Joints, glands and soft tissues — problems rarely announce themselves.

04

Honest advice

Diet, smoking, brushing — practical guidance, not a lecture.

05

Oral cancer screening

A quick, potentially life-saving check, built into every exam.

06

Your written plan

Findings, options and costs, agreed before anything begins.

HOW OFTEN?

Three months or twelve
it depends on you

There's no one-size-fits-all interval. Healthy, low-risk mouths may only need a check once a year; others benefit from seeing us every three months. We'll assess your risk honestly and agree the recall that actually fits you.

Regular examinations are also how emergencies get prevented — most painful problems were quiet ones first.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Quick
answered

How often should I see a dentist?

This depends on your dental disease risk. Your dentist will typically see you anything from 3 months to 1 year. A dentist not only checks your teeth but will also carry out oral cancer screening during an examination appointment.

There are three main ways to do this:

* Clean your teeth twice a day and clean in between them with floss or tepe brushes once a day
* Have a good diet – it’s the frequency of sugars that cause a problem not the amount – so make sure not to snack in between meals and only drink water between meals.
* Fluoride – use a fluoride toothpaste to help prevent decay
