Private Dental Check-Ups in Cannock & Walsall

A dental check-up is a regular, planned examination where your dentist takes the time to assess the health of your mouth, teeth and gums. It’s about far more than quick glance – we look at every aspect of your oral health to make sure you’re on the right track. Every routine dental examination includes:

Private dentist fees
  • A full visual and physical inspection of your teeth, gums and soft oral tissues
  • Standard oral cancer screening, as part of our commitment to early detection
  • Discussion around your current oral hygiene habits and any issues you’ve noticed
  • Personalised advice to help you maintain or improve your dental health

 

Common Issues Identified During Check-Ups

  • Gingivitis – Inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup
  • Dental decay – Cavities and holes which have developed in your teeth
  • Gum disease – Minor inflammation of gums, which can develop into periodontal disease
  • Wear and tear – Assessments of factors like grinding and clenching

Why Are Regular Dental Examinations Important?

Skipping your dental examinations can lead to small issues becoming big problems, resulting in pain, infection or expensive treatments down the line. Our routine dental care treatments lead to early detection of these common oral issues which means simpler treatments, fewer appointments and a healthier mouth long-term. Which means you can:

  • Catch dental problems early
  • Avoid emergency dental treatments
  • Maintain a healthy smile
  • Get tailored advice for your specific needs
  • Stay confident in your oral health

We recommend that most patients attend a routine dental examination every 6 to 12 months, depending on your unique needs. If you are a smoker, a diabetic, prone to gum disease or have a history of frequent dental issues, you may benefit from more frequent check-ups to ensure potential problems are all caught and treated as early as possible.

Dental Check-Ups FAQs

How Often Should You Have a Dental Exam?

We usually recommend a routine dental examination every 6 to 12 months. However, this may vary based on your oral health, lifestyle and risk factors such as smoking or medical conditions. Your dentist will advise on the best schedule for you.

How Long Does a Routine Dental Check-Up Take?

A standard examination typically takes 30-45 minutes, allowing sufficient time for thorough assessment, discussion of findings and treatment planning if needed.

What Happens if a Problem is Found During My Check-Up?

If we detect an issue such as gum disease, a cavity or signs of wear, we’ll discuss it with you in detail and outline a clear treatment plan. In many cases, early intervention means simpler and more affordable treatments.

Is Oral Cancer Screening Included?

Yes, all of our dental examinations include oral cancer screening as standard. This is a quick and non-invasive part of your check-up that helps ensure any concerns are spotted as early as possible.

Are Dental Check-Ups Just For Adults?

No, routine dental care is important for children as well. We recommend bringing children for their first dental examination as soon as their baby teeth appear, and continuing regular visits to encourage lifelong oral health.

Can I Have An Examination if I Haven't Been to a Dentist For Years?

We welcome patients who haven’t had recent dental care and understand that returning to regular check-ups can feel daunting. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment and help you get back on track with your oral health.

Will I Need X-Rays at Every Visit?

X-rays are typically taken annually or as clinically indicated, rather than at every check-up. They’re essential for detecting issues not visible during visual examination, such as decay between teeth or problems below the gum line.
