Why Regular Check-Ups Matter
Routine check-ups allow us to:
- Spot early signs of decay, gum disease, or wear
- Prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems
- Provide tailored advice to keep your mouth healthy
- Monitor previous dental work and restorations
- Give reassurance and peace of mind
Even if your teeth feel fine, a regular visit ensures nothing is missed and helps protect your oral health long-term.
If you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, we can restore it using high-quality filling materials. We offer:
- Tooth-coloured composite fillings for a natural look
- Amalgam (silver) fillings for durability in back teeth
- Gentle techniques with local anaesthetic for your comfort
We’ll always explain your options clearly and recommend the most suitable treatment for your individual case.
Healthy gums are just as important as healthy teeth. Our hygiene services include:
- Professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Treatment for gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Tailored oral hygiene advice to maintain results at home
We work closely with our dental hygienists to ensure your gums are strong and free from infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I have a dental check-up?
Most patients benefit from a check-up every six months. However, if you’re at higher risk of dental problems (e.g. gum disease or decay), we may recommend more frequent visits.
2. What happens during a routine dental examination?
We will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. You may also have X-rays taken if needed. We'll provide advice and discuss any treatment you may require.
3. Do I need to see a dental hygienist too?
Yes, seeing a hygienist is highly recommended. They focus on cleaning your teeth, removing plaque and tartar, and helping you maintain healthy gums – a crucial part of preventive care.
4. Are fillings painful?
No. We use local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
5. Can you treat nervous patients?
Absolutely. We understand that dental visits can be stressful for some. Our team is experienced in helping nervous patients feel at ease, and we take time to explain procedures and work at your pace.
6. What age should children start seeing the dentist?
We recommend bringing your child for their first check-up by the age of one, or when their first tooth comes through – whichever comes first. Early visits help children become familiar with the dental environment and prevent future problems.
7. What’s the difference between a check-up and a hygiene appointment?
A check-up is with the dentist to examine your teeth and mouth for signs of problems. A hygiene appointment is with the hygienist, focusing on cleaning your teeth and supporting gum health.
8. How do I book an appointment?
You can book by calling the practice directly or using our online booking system. We offer convenient appointment times to suit your schedule.
