A regular visit at least once a year to your dentist should be an integral part of your overall dental health routine. They’re essential for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental problems in the future. Even though the common terminology is ‘check-up’ it’s much more than this really – it’s a thorough dental health examination.
Your dentist will always take time to understand you and your lifestyle, past treatments and procedures, and to talk through any concerns you might have. We understand that a visit to the dentist can cause stress and anxiety, so we’ll always ensure we build a relationship of trust with you so you feel at ease and relaxed.

Regular dental health check-ups give your dentist an opportunity to spot signs of gum disease or tooth decay and prevent it getting any worse. Our goal is to ensure you have good dental health and the tools to maintain this for life.

As your smile is unique, how often you have dental health check-ups will depend on your individual needs. You might only need a dental health check-up once a year, of if you’ve just had treatment your dentist might recommend more frequent visits. You and your dentist will discuss how often these should be, and will work out a date and time that suits you.
