A check-up involves far more than a passing glance for holes. We look closely at your teeth, gums, existing restorations and wider oral health, keeping an eye out for the earliest hints of decay, gum disease, wear or anything else that could affect your smile. When an X-ray is clinically needed, it's part of the appointment rather than an extra charge.
We run through your medical background, listen to any concerns you'd like to raise, and find out what you'd like from your oral health going forward.
Your dentist assesses your teeth, gums, bite and any existing dental work as part of a full oral health check.
When it's clinically justified, digital X-rays are taken to reveal anything hidden from view.

We're adding dental check-ups cases to our gallery soon. Browse all before & after cases.
Nobody likes a surprise bill, us included — every plan is set out in writing up front, so there's nothing unexpected waiting for you at reception.
New patients pay £50 for their first examination, while existing patients pay £30 per check-up. Any X-rays that are clinically necessary are always included, never billed separately.
