Your first step to optimal dental health is to visit the dentist for routine checkups. Your teeth and mouth will thank you when you make an appointment with us for a routine check-up. They would if they could talk, at least. You are less likely to require the services of an emergency dentist if you regularly schedule routine dental examinations. Also, we are aware that regular dental clinic users end up spending less money over time.
The price of an exam and x-rays check-up is 1000. From time-to-time we have special pricing and offers too.
If you need a filling or an important dental treatment your dentist will let you know. You can talk through the options together and get your dentist’s advice on the best treatment. We accept a wide range of payment methods that includes debit/credit card and online transfer.
Having an exam and x-rays dental check-up shouldn’t hurt at all. Occasionally, if one of the instruments touches a tender spot in your mouth, you could experience some minor discomfort. Most people won’t need an injection for a routine dental check-up.
Feeling nervous is okay. A lot of people feel that way about going to the dentist. But visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be stressful. With us, you can relax. We help put you at ease and give you all the information you need to ensure you know what’s going on with your oral health. When you book an appointment or visit, let us know how you’re feeling. We’ll do all we can to help you feel relaxed.
Our standard dental x-rays are known as bitewing x-rays. They get their name because of the wing shape of the plastic device you bite down on to keep the x-ray film in place. At an exam and x-rays check-up you’ll usually have one bitewing x-ray taken on each side of your mouth. These help dentists to see what’s happening with your molars, or large back teeth. They’re also useful for checking for decay that’s hiding between your molars. You can ask your dentist to take panoramic x-rays as well, if they’re available at your practice. These show a full view of your whole mouth on one single x-ray. Panoramic x-rays are useful for diagnosing invisible problems like impacted teeth, jaw bone abnormalities, benign cysts, tumours, infections, abscesses and fractures.
If you only visit the dentist in an emergency or when you’re in pain, it can easily become something you try to avoid. But having a routine dental check-up means you’re less likely to need to see an emergency dentist. You’ll also probably spend less money at the dentist over time. That’s because regular preventative care helps to diagnose and treat potential dental problems early. It’s a vital part of staying on top of your oral and general health.
