Comprehensive check up and clean appointments are highly recommended for maintaining good oral health.

Our Active Maintenance program encourages patients to attend on a regular basis, usually every 6 months and promotes good oral hygiene habits. With regular checks there is greater opportunity for early detection of potential dental problems, allowing for treatment to occur before the problems become large and generally more expensive.

A check up and clean involves a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth and soft tissue areas to check the health of your mouth and identify any issues as well as digital x-rays and cleaning. Digital x-rays allow the dentist to look at the internal structure of your teeth, jaws and any underlying infections. Our dentists will propose a treatment plan for identified issues and there is also opportunity for discussion of any dental concerns and problems you may be experiencing.
