What's Included in Your Check-up
Every check-up is comprehensive. We take the time to examine every detail so nothing goes unnoticed.
Comprehensive Oral Exam
A thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues to detect any issues early - before they become costly problems.
Professional Scale & Polish
Removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing can't reach, leaving your teeth smooth and refreshed.
Digital X-Rays
Low-radiation digital imaging to identify hidden decay, bone loss, or infections beneath the surface.
Gum Health Assessment
Checking for early signs of gum disease so we can treat it before it progresses to something more serious.
Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, non-invasive visual and tactile check of your oral tissues for any unusual changes - an essential part of preventive care.
Personalised Hygiene Plan
Tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and diet to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits.

questions
Common questions about dental check-ups and professional cleaning.
Thinking beyond a routine check-up?
A check-up often highlights more than just problems to fix. It can also show opportunities to improve your smile. That might be the colour of your teeth, how they're aligned, or areas that have worn down over time. Many patients explore options like teeth whitening Sydney, Invisalign clear aligners, dental veneers, or dental implants to improve how their smile looks, feels, and functions over time. New here?
