Dental check-ups
An examination that catches decay and gum trouble while they are still small, with NHS and private routes available at every practice.
Regular check-ups are a habit worth keeping
A full mouth check, not a glance
The appointment covers your teeth, gums, bite and a soft-tissue screen, well beyond a quick look in.
Small problems, caught small
Bitewing X-rays reveal decay between teeth before it reaches the nerve, so a simple filling beats a root canal later.
An interval set to you
Six months suits most people, but we match your recall to your actual risk rather than a generic schedule.
Feeling fine isn't the whole story
Clear pricing, in writing
Every quote is itemised and given to you in writing before treatment begins, with no surprise charges, nothing added at the chair, and no obligation to go ahead. NHS and private options sit side by side. The full fee schedule is on our fees and finance page.

Check-up FAQs
How often do I really need one?
It depends on what we find. Some need more frequent visits and a few can safely stretch to a year.
What does a check-up include?
Medical history, an external and soft-tissue examination (the oral cancer screen), a gum check, a tooth-by-tooth look for decay and wear, a bite assessment, and X-rays where needed.
Are the X-rays safe?
Yes. Dental bitewings use a very low dose and are only taken when clinically useful.
It's been years since my last visit.
You're very welcome back, and a long gap is more common than you'd think. We start from where things are now, talk through anything that's bothering you, and go at a pace that suits you.
