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.
