Why are regular dental check-ups so important?
Routine visits to your dentist are the foundation of a healthy, bright smile.
Visiting your dentist at least twice a year will keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition, saving you time, money, and discomfort by catching small issues before they become bigger concerns.

What happens during a dental appointment?
Your dentist will start by performing a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to spot any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. They may also take some scans, X-rays or photos.
Based on your examination, your dentist will provide tailored recommendations to help you maintain or improve your oral health. From brushing techniques to dietary tips, we’ll equip you with everything you need to keep your smile shining.

How often should I have a dental check-up?

How often should I see a hygienist?
Ideally, you should have an appointment with your dental hygienist once a year. These visits will help keep your gums clean and infection-free by breaking down plaque and getting rid of any bacteria in your mouth.

For adult patients, it’s £90 for your first check-up which includes 3D scans, X-rays, a full dental examination, and a custom report. It’s £60 for children aged 6-17.
