What to expect during your dental check-up

When you come for your dental check-up at Complete Dental Works, you can expect a comprehensive and caring procedure which keeps your oral health in check and catches any potential issues early. Here’s what you’ll experience during your visit:

Oral examination:

This forms the cornerstone of your dental check-up. Your CDW dentist will meticulously examine every part of your mouth. We’ll inspect your teeth for signs of decay, cracks or damage and evaluate your gums for inflammation, bleeding or gum disease. Additionally, we’ll assess the support tissues around your teeth, examine your lymph nodes and salivary glands and scrutinise your tongue for any unusual signs that could indicate underlying health issues, such as oral cancer.

Diagnostics:

In addition to visual examination, we may use diagnostic tools like X-rays and intra-oral cameras. X-rays provide detailed images of your teeth and jawbone, helping us detect issues like cavities, bone loss or impacted teeth. Intra-oral cameras allow us to capture high-resolution images of specific areas in your mouth, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like cracked teeth or signs of decay.

Why stay regular with your dental check-ups?

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal oral and overall health, offering a wide range of advantages:

Improved oral hygiene: During your check-up, our team provides personalised guidance on brushing techniques, flossing methods and other oral hygiene practices tailored to your needs. This allows you to maintain a healthy smile between visits, preventing the onset of dental problems.

Overall health: Research indicates a strong connection between oral health and overall well-being. Maintaining good oral hygiene not only benefits your teeth and gums but also contributes to a healthier body. Prioritising regular dental check-ups supports your overall health and quality of life.

How often should you visit Complete Dental Works?

For most patients, we suggest scheduling dental check-ups and cleanings every six months, in alignment with the recommendation of the Australian Dental Association. However, the frequency of your visits may vary based on your unique oral health requirements. During your examination, we will evaluate your oral health status and discuss the optimal schedule tailored to your needs.

By following these NSQHS standards, Complete Dental Works aims to continuously improve the quality and safety of our dental care and service – for you and your family.
