DENTAL EXAMINATIONS
At Team Dental, not only are we an emergency dental practice but we also provide regular dental care and dental checkups to meet all of your needs.
To look after your teeth and keep your smile bright, we recommend a dental check-up with one of our friendly Team Dental dentists once a year. It’s also best to have a dental hygiene examination with our hygienists once every year.
How can we help?
Not only do regular dental check-ups help keep your teeth healthy, but they could also help save you a lot of money in the long run, by catching any problems early on. Regular dental examinations are your first line of protection and the first step to keeping your smile bright and healthy.
Dental check-up
A dental check-up with Team Dental includes a thorough check of all of your teeth and your gums for any problems and an x-ray of your teeth.
During the dental check-up, we will record any dental work you have previously done, and check how your dental health is progressing since your last check-up. We also use teeth x-rays to help us to check beneath filings and between teeth. Teeth x-rays mean we can examine parts of your teeth that we can’t see by eye. Have a read of our Dental X-Rays page to understand more about X-Rays.
After the dental examination is done, we will tell you if any additional work is required to keep your smile healthy. If additional work is required, we will explain what needs to be done and give you a quote for how much it will cost. This way you stay informed of what is best for you and don’t have any surprises.
Dental Hygiene Examination
After your annual dental check-up, we recommend you see one of our specialised hygienists. A dental hygiene examination is great for many things. Not only do hygienists check and record gum health, but they also scale and clean your teeth thoroughly. Our friendly hygienists will educate you on important teeth cleaning and maintenance techniques so that you can continue to look after your teeth well after the dental hygienist examination.
An appointment with our hygienists would normally take 45 minutes. You can find out more information about our wonderful Team Dentist hygienists and what they do under the hygienist tab.
