Dental Checkup and Clean
When Did You Last Visit The Dentist?
How Does a Dental Checkup and Clean Remove Plaque?
Benefits of Regular Checkups and Cleans for Oral Health
During the checkup, your dentist will:
- Examine your oral health and look for signs of tooth decay, gum disease or other dental problems
- Take X-rays if necessary to find any hidden issues
- Check your jaw, bite and surrounding tissues for any abnormalities
Our Approach to Checkups and Cleans
At Odontolgie, we pride ourselves on delivering dental care that’s tailored to you. Our team of experienced and friendly dental professionals will make you feel comfortable and happy throughout your visit.
We use the latest technology and equipment to give you an accurate diagnosis and treatment. This includes diagnosing and preventing tooth wear, which can be influenced by dietary habits and is mitigated by concentrated fluoride applications during routine visits.
We know visiting the dentist can be scary for some, so we try to make it as relaxing as possible. Our clinics are conveniently located, and we have flexible hours that fit your schedule.
What to Expect from a Dental Hygienist
When you arrive for your checkup and clean, your friendly dentist will greet you and walk you through the process. A typical visit includes:
- Examination of your teeth, gums and mouth by your dentist
Scaling and polishing to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains - Flossing between your teeth to get you as clean as possible
- Chat with your dentist about any questions or concerns you have
- Personalised advice on how to maintain your dental hygiene at home, including tips on brushing, flossing, and other practices to prevent gum disease and tooth loss
- Most checkup and clean appointments take 30-60 minutes, depending on your needs. We are gentle and pain-free, so you will be comfortable throughout the process.
- Additionally, the dentist may recommend further treatment, such as fillings, crowns, or bridges, to address any oral health problems detected during the check-up and clean.
Additional Tests and X-Rays
During a dental check-up and clean, the dentist may recommend additional tests and X-rays to detect any oral health problems. These may include:
- Digital X-rays to detect tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems
- Panoramic X-rays to get a comprehensive view of the teeth and jaw
- 3D CBCT X-rays to detect any issues with the teeth and jaw
- Decay-view X-rays to detect tooth decay and other oral health problems
We also use a 3Shape scanner, which allows us to create a digital 3D image of your teeth, bite, and gums. This technology enables us to custom-print crowns, fillings, bridges, and also design splints, retainers, and other appliances for patients.
These additional tests and X-rays help the dentist diagnose oral health problems early on and provide appropriate treatment. Advanced imaging technology lets us get a detailed view of your oral health, ensuring that no issues go unnoticed. This proactive approach allows us to address any concerns, preventing more serious problems promptly.
