Dental Examinations and Consultation

Regular dental examinations and hygiene appointments are vital to help protect your oral health. This allows for prevention and early detection/ intervention, should any problems arise with your teeth or your gums.

Here at Crosby Dental, our team of expert Dentists and Hygienists are here to carry out a full clinical assessment and provide you with advice on maintaining your dental health or improving your smile. However big or small your dental concern, our team is here to help.

What will happen during your consultation?

Our dentists will complete a comprehensive dental health examination. This will include assessing your jaw joints, muscles and salivary glands for any irregularities. A full examination of your mouth will be carried out, which includes an oral cancer screening. An assessment of your teeth and gums will also be completed, evaluating your overall risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

During your consultation we will provide you with both your immediate and long term dental care options. Your immediate dental care may involve treatment that is required to make your mouth healthy again such as fillings, hygienist visits or any other more advanced dental treatments such as crowns or a root filling.

X-rays are taken at routine intervals to help assess for any signs of decay in-between the teeth or underneath any fillings, so you may have these taken on the day of your examination or consultation.

Your long term dental care would be a tailor-made plan to minimise your individual dental risk in the future. This may involve regular dental examinations and hygienist appointments to ensure that your mouth is maintained in a healthy state with minimal risk.

*Our practice plan membership covers your 6 monthly dental examinations and hygiene visits, which ensures our patients keep their teeth and smiles healthy! You can inquire about this in clinic, just speak to our reception staff.
