Prevent problems before they start. Our thorough examination and professional clean remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. Recommended every 6 months.
Oral cancer screening, gum health assessment, bite and jaw evaluation, digital X-rays as needed, and examination of each tooth for decay or cracks. We also assess your risk for future problems based on diet, hygiene, and medical history. Early detection of small cavities means simpler, cheaper treatment – often just a small filling instead of a root canal or crown.
We use ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to remove calculus above and below the gumline. Then polish with prophy paste to smooth enamel and remove stains. The ultrasonic scaler uses vibration and water to gently break up tartar without scraping. Most patients find it more comfortable than traditional hand scaling. We finish with a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel.
We demonstrate effective brushing and flossing techniques, recommend products based on your needs, and discuss diet’s role in dental health. Personalised advice for your situation. For example, we might suggest an electric toothbrush, interdental brushes, or a water flosser. You’ll leave with a clear action plan and often a sample kit to get started.
Every 6 months for most people. If you have gum disease or high decay risk, every 3-4 months.
