Looking After Your Smile Long-Term

Attend dentist and hygienist check-ups to maintain the appearance and condition of your teeth and gums. Lifestyle, wear and tear can inevitably affect your teeth as you age. However, that doesn't mean you have to live with stained, chipped, diseased or decayed teeth.

‍

During your dentist check-ups, we can identify whether you require a restoration to fix certain dental issues and screen for oral cancer and other abnormalities. Regular check-ups are the bedrock of prevention and maintenance. During your check-ups, we will assess your risk factors for specific dental problems and outline how you can alter your lifestyle to reduce them.

‍

Routine hygienist visits are indispensable for removing the plaque and tartar that clings to your teeth (it cannot be removed with brushing and flossing). This type of maintenance not only keeps your teeth stain-free, it reduces bad breath and gives your teeth a more 'polished' look and feel.
