We understand that every smile is unique at our clinic, and we strive to strengthen the relationship between you and your dentist. We recommend regular check-ups to complement a good daily oral health routine and provide a preventive approach to dental issues.
At our clinic, our dentists take the time to understand your lifestyle, past treatments, and preferences while addressing any questions you may have. We know that a visit to the dentist can cause anxiety, which is why building a trusting relationship with your dentist can help alleviate fears and concerns.
What does a check-up include?
During your first visit, we will want to learn about your complete medical history and any medications you are taking to gain a comprehensive understanding of your individual needs. Your dentist may take X-rays of your teeth if necessary. An X-ray can help the dentist assess jaw alignment, identify any decay between teeth, and detect impacted teeth, abscesses, or cysts at the roots.
During each visit, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. They will check the health of your cheeks and tongue, inspect your gums for signs of gum disease, and clean any plaque or harmful tartar buildup. In addition to dental cleaning and oral health analysis, your dentist will provide advice on ongoing and advanced dental care.
What are the benefits of regular check-ups?
The health of your teeth is paramount. Preventing a potential condition is both more cost-effective and easier than treating one that has developed. Regular check-ups give your dentist the opportunity to stop signs of gum disease or tooth decay and work with you to keep your smile fresh and bright. Routine examinations can help detect problems early.

How often should I get a check-up?
