Dental check-up and cleaning

The accumulation of plaque and calculus around the teeth and under the gums can cause a cascade of dental problems like tooth decay, gingivitis, bone loss, halitosis (bad breath), and eventually, tooth loss. Routine cleanings rid the mouth of harmful bacteria and ensures that you can enjoy a lifetime of exceptional oral health.
We begin with a comprehensive examination of teeth and gums in order to create a treatment plan that is customised for your unique oral needs. Your examination may include a full intra-oral scan of your mouth, near infrared caries detection, x-rays to detect decay between the teeth, as well as an oral cancer screening.
If you require a clean, we may use both hand instruments and / or an ultrasonic scaler which uses water and vibration to gently break up plaque and tartar that build up above or below the gum line. We may also offer a polish which can help to remove plaque and staining. Our team will also tell you what you need to know about home care between visits so that future cleanings will be effortless and easy.
