3. Assessment

If your appointment is for a check up, our dentists will proceed to perform a thorough assessment of your oral and dental environment. This may include using digital, low dose x-rays or digital photos to aid in making appropriate diagnoses and for monitoring future changes.
Our dentists will proceed to discuss all findings and provide treatment options tailored to your needs. Our caring team is always happy to spend time listening and answering questions. While we value providing optimal treatment results, we understand this may not be feasible for everyone and our dentists can discuss appropriate alternates when required.

4. See our dental hygienist

Following your check up appointment, your dental hygiene is looked after for by our friendly team of hygienists who specialise in teeth cleaning, periodontal maintenance and oral hygiene education. Your appointment with our hygienists begins with a discussion of your current oral hygiene measures, followed by a thorough assessment of your gum and bone health. They will discuss areas of concern and subsequently provide comprehensive cleaning and oral hygiene advice that is tailored to your requirements.
