What Happens During Your Check-Up
Every visit follows the same thorough, four-part routine, so nothing gets missed.
Every tooth is checked for decay, the health of your gums is examined, and we screen for oral cancer and other diseases.
Digital X-rays and other diagnostic tools detect issues below the surface, such as impacted teeth, hidden decay and jawbone abnormalities.
A professional clean removes the plaque and tartar build-up that usual brushing and flossing might miss, including polishing and flossing between your teeth.
Personalised advice on improving your oral hygiene techniques, and a discussion of any lifestyle habits that may affect your oral health.

Prevention Is the Best Investment
The value of a routine dental check-up lies in what it prevents. Identifying and treating cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues early can potentially save you from costly and invasive treatments later, while regular cleanings and fluoride treatments help prevent decay and gum disease from developing at all.
Oral health is also linked to your overall health: issues like heart disease and diabetes have been associated with gum disease, which makes those two visits a year one of the simplest health habits to keep. And because we are minutes from Melrose Arch, Rosebank and Sandton with Saturday morning appointments available, a check-up fits easily around work and family life.
