At Blakehurst Dental we believe that dentistry’s best defence is a good offence. By helping you to optimise your oral health, we can prevent many avoidable, painful and costly dental situations. Regular dental checks, digital x-rays, digital photographs, and digital 3D scans of the mouth and surrounding soft tissue all allow us to monitor your oral health and intervene early where necessary to stabilise any disease.

What to expect:

30-60 min appointment

Following a detailed discussion about your dental concerns we will proceed with examination of:

• Jaw joint and muscles that control the jaw

• Oral soft tissue for signs of systemic illness, trauma or oral cancer

• Periodontal tissues, gum health and personal oral hygiene practices

• Teeth clinically and via digital x-rays

• 3D digital full mouth scans, used to assess tooth wear over time and assist in treatment planning your individual care

• Digital Photographs

Following a thorough examination, we will gently clean your teeth using both hand instrumentation and ultrasonic cleaners.

Finally, a topical application of fluoride will be applied.

Our dentist will always take the time to explain all the findings in your appointment and explain any treatment that may be necessary, including the cause and the best available solution.
