What is a dental check-up?
A routine dental check-up involves a complete inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Your dentist will take a gentle approach, checking for signs of tooth decay or gum disease, and discussing any changes or symptoms in your oral health. Dental check-ups also include an oral cancer screening, along with X-rays when needed.

How much does a dental check-up cost?
The cost of a private dental check-up depends on what's included during your visit. While some appointments are straightforward examinations, others may need X-rays or additional diagnostics. You can check all our pricing guidelines on our pricing page.
Our membership plans make routine care affordable, spreading the cost of regular check-ups and hygiene appointments across the year into easy monthly payments.

Your check-up journey at Pontesbury Dental Practice
Book an appointment
Getting started is simple. Give our friendly reception team a call or drop us a message to arrange an appointment that fits your schedule.
Your appointment
Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums, take any necessary X-rays, and check for signs of problems while providing clear explanations throughout.
Ongoing care
Following your check-up, your dentist will explain their findings and recommend the best path forward. You'll know exactly when to book your next visit, and we'll help you arrange any follow-up treatment if needed.
When should you book a check-up?
Most people benefit from a dental examination every six to twelve months, though your dentist will recommend the right frequency based on your individual needs.Β
If you notice any changes like sensitive teeth, bleeding gums, or persistent discomfort, it's worth getting checked sooner rather than later. Regular check-ups catch small problems before they turn into bigger, more costly issues.
Even if everything feels fine, routine visits help you maintain excellent oral health and give you confidence in your smile.
