Check-ups & Hygiene
Check-ups & Hygiene
A routine check-up helps catch small problems early, while they are simpler to look after. We take the time to explain what we see and answer your questions, and we’ll tell you whether it’s NHS or private before we start.

What to expect
- 1
A friendly chat
We talk through your history, any worries, and what you’d like from the visit.

Examination
A careful check of your teeth, gums and mouth, with X-rays only if they’re needed.
- 3
Hygiene
Our hygienist or therapist gently removes plaque and tartar and shows you what to focus on at home.
- 4
A simple plan
You leave knowing where things stand, what comes next, and what it will cost.
Is it right for me?
Everyone. We’ll recommend a check-up interval based on your own mouth, from 3 months to 2 years, in line with NICE guidance.
