Comprehensive check up
We will not only check your teeth but also your soft tissue, gums, palate and jaw to ensure we pick up on any problems early like gum disease to rare conditions such as oral cancer.
Catch trouble areas early
Remove build up of plaque
Retain healthy teeth
Regular visits to your dentist are essential even if you brush and floss on daily basis.
We strongly believe that prevention is the key to good health and avoidance of dental and general health problems. Prevention is not difficult. All it involves is 6 monthly visits to our lovely practice and a comprehensive check up by our dedicated and helpful dentists. At Thames Dental & Facial Care we aim to keep your smile in great shape!
Regular examinations enable us to lower our patients’ overall risk of dental disease. We also recommend regular visits to the hygienist, for scaling and polishing to reduce the bacterial load in the mouth, which can significantly lower the risk of gum disease as well as reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and even dementia. This can often be carried out at the same visit as the dental examination.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a dental examination?
Your teeth and mouth are exposed to bacteria more than most other parts of your body, sometimes these bacteria can build up without going undetected and result in something serious. Therefore, a regular check-up is a way to ensure that your oral health is good and detect any symptoms for something serious.
How long does a dental examination take?
Most dental check-ups are completed between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on each individual case and any further examinations we may need to perform.
How often should I get a dental check up?
We recommend getting a dental checkup every 6 months at a minimum, this will reduce the likelihood of any nasty surprises building up in your mouth and going undetected. Depending on your oral health, it may be better for you to get a check-up more frequently than every 6 months.
