Dental Check-Ups at Oakley Dental | Preventative Dental Care in Manchester
Routine dental examinations are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and catching potential issues before they become bigger problems. At Oakley Dental in Manchester, we recommend attending dental check-ups at least twice a year for most patients, although your ideal schedule may vary depending on your oral health needs.
These visits allow our experienced team to thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, and mouth, remove stubborn tartar, and give personalised advice to help you maintain your oral hygiene at home. For patients with crowns, implants, gum disease, or increased susceptibility to plaque or decay, more frequent visits may be advised.
Life changes such as illness, pregnancy, or stress can also affect your oral health. That’s why we always tailor your check-up schedule to your current needs — whether you need more support or are enjoying years of excellent oral health.
Regular check-ups help prevent issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. By catching any signs early, we can treat problems quickly and effectively, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the future.
Why are dental exams important?
Dental exams help identify oral health issues early, such as cavities or gum disease, before they cause pain or more serious problems.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Twice a year is a general guideline, but patients with implants, crowns, gum disease, or higher risk factors may need to come more often.
What happens during a dental exam?
You'll see both a dentist and a hygienist. Your teeth will be cleaned, polished, examined, and any oral health issues discussed with you.
Do you use digital x-rays?
Yes, Oakley Dental uses digital x-rays, which emit significantly less radiation than traditional x-rays and provide fast, clear results.
What is an intra-oral camera?
We use a small camera to show you a live image of your teeth and gums on-screen, so you can see exactly what we see during your check-up.
