What Happens During Your Dental Check-Up?
Your appointment typically begins with a comprehensive oral examination performed by one of our experienced dentists. During your exam, we assess the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw, take digital X-rays as needed, and discuss any goals or concerns you may have. If you require X-rays, we use digital technology to spot issues below the surface and ensure a complete picture of your oral health.
A professional dental cleaning is usually performed by our hygienist at your check-up to remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone does not reach. Most visits combine both examination and cleaning to keep your care simple and effective.
The Oral Cancer Screening: Included with Every Visit
Every dental check-up at our clinic includes an oral cancer screening as a standard part of your visit. The screening is a quick, non-invasive check of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat, plus a physical exam for lumps or abnormalities in your neck and jaw. This early detection step is included with every routine exam to support your long-term health.
Personalized Discussion and Care Planning
After your examination and cleaning, we review our findings with you, explain any treatment options, and create a personalized plan that fits your needs and budget. You are encouraged to ask questions at any time during your visit, and we take care to address your concerns and explain everything clearly. We take time to get to know every patient and ensure you feel comfortable, informed, and respected every step of the way.
Managing Dental Anxiety and Special Needs
If you have dental anxiety, we offer both nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to help you feel relaxed during your visit, and our team is trained to provide gentle, anxiety-free dentistry. We also speak 9+ languages, so patients from many backgrounds can communicate comfortably with us.
How Long Does a Dental Check-Up Take and How Often Should You Visit?
Your routine check-up and cleaning usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on X-rays and the amount of buildup to clean. We recommend regular dental check-ups and cleanings every six months for most patients, though we may suggest more frequent visits if you have gum disease or ongoing concerns.
Insurance, Billing, and Perks
Our fees follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, and we can provide a clear estimate before your appointment to help you plan your care. As a thank you for your trust, every check-up and cleaning comes with a free professional whitening kit at our NE Calgary clinic.
