You will meet your dental team and receive your dental examination.
A new patient dental examination typically takes around 30-45 minutes.
Further routine examinations are usually shorter, depending on whether X-rays are needed.
Routine dental examinations are key to maintaining comfort, confidence, and excellent oral health.
Most patients benefit from an examination every 6–12 months; this is tailored to your individual needs. Your dentist will advise how often you should attend for routine dental examinations.
Routine screening X-rays are usually taken every 2 years, but may be taken more frequently if you experience a problem or an area needs to be kept under close review.
Dental X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary and at appropriate intervals to ensure your safety while allowing an accurate diagnosis.
Dental X-rays allow your dentist to detect problems that can’t be seen during a routine examination, such as decay between teeth, infections, and bone loss.
They support early diagnosis and accurate treatment planning, using very low levels of radiation for safe and effective care.
Yes. A dental examination focuses on assessing your oral health and diagnosing any issues.
A hygiene appointment is designed to professionally clean your teeth and support gum health. Many patients choose to have both.
Absolutely.
We’ll talk you through the examination at a pace you’re comfortable with or keep conversation minimal if you prefer.
No. A routine examination is gentle and non-invasive.
Our focus is on assessment and prevention, not treatment.
Of course.
If having a friend or family member present helps you feel more relaxed, you’re welcome to bring them along.
There’s no judgment here.
Our role is to support your oral health moving forward, whatever your past dental experiences may have been.

Very pleasant and well-equipped new dental surgery. The staff were very welcoming and explained everything clearly.
I received excellent care at the brand-new dental practice in Malmesbury and would recommend it as a family dental practice. I was looking for a new dentist as the one I had been with for decades was retiring. It’s conveniently situated just off the main roundabout into Malmesbury and is the first turn on the left just before Malmesbury Primary Care Centre — plenty of easy parking. The building itself is beautifully converted from the old police station and is light and airy, with calming decor. The dental nurses were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, even taking time to show me round the practice. Everything is new, and the facilities are equipped to a high standard. Dr Alzin, the dentist I saw, was very professional, explained all procedures thoroughly, and provided valuable tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. I look forward to my return visit in 6 months for my next routine check-up. Thank you, everyone. I genuinely enjoyed my visit today.
I visited on opening day and had a great experience. The staff were lovely and offered refreshments upon arrival, everything was fully explained to me, and various options were given. Highly recommended!
Fantastic dentist and a great experience. Great staff and new equipment.
I have recently moved back to Malmesbury and found myself in need of an emergency dental appointment. I called Malmesbury Dental & Specialist Referral Centre, and they booked me in the very same day. The service has been outstanding, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Each dentist is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me massively. I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone who needs a quality dentist.
I was referred to Imogen by my dentist for specialist periodontal treatment. After consultation and two treatment sessions, I can say that Imogen is knowledgeable, encouraging, kind and sympathetic. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Malmesbury Dental. They have been incredibly friendly since my husband and I joined in recent weeks. Imogen has explained everything in detail, and I look forward to continuing with my dental journey.
The staff are so lovely and welcoming! Everything about the treatments is thoroughly explained to you, and the whole team is reassuring with each step. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist!
A really wonderful experience from start to finish. Courtnee was brilliant at finding the right time for an appointment, and Imogen and Alyson have been so helpful with our daughter. We felt listened to and are so glad you’re now in town!
