Dental Check-up and Cleaning

A gum check, a dental X-ray and a professional clean in one clinic visit. About 30 minutes.

Regular check-ups catch problems while they're small and easier to treat. Your dentist looks for early signs of gum disease and decay, including what can't be seen by eye, and a professional clean removes the build-up that brushing at home can't. If you need anything more, such as a filling, it's explained and booked separately.

Disclaimer: Your dentist checks your teeth and gums before cleaning. Any further treatment you may need is explained and booked separately.
