Checkups & Cleans at St. Leonards Square Dental Care
At St. Leonards Square Dental Care, we are passionate about taking a preventative approach to oral health. Having regular dental checkups with us, may decrease the chances of more serious tooth and gum conditions down the track. Conditions like gum disease and root canal infections can be avoided with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Your Examination and Cleaning
The first step to enjoying a healthy, happy smile starts here. We encourage patients to have checkup and clean appointments every six months. When you see us for a dental checkup, our dentist will first do a thorough assessment of your teeth and gums. Post examination, we will do X-rays or scans (if applicable) and discuss the results with you. For your convenience, we have digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scanner on-site.
Following your X-rays, you will then have a thorough cleaning by our gentle dentist. For routine appointments, you may not require X-rays each time. Your checkup appointment will typically go for about 30-60 minutes and you will walk away with a clean smile and a customised treatment plan if necessary. We may develop this for you following your X-rays, so you can decide if you wish to consider further treatment or improve other areas which may need attention.

We provide a thorough dental cleaning which gently cleans and removes tartar such as plaque buildup around your teeth and gum lines. Tartar is also known as calculus and is an accumulation of minerals from your saliva and plaque which harden overtime. We strongly encourage patients to practice proper oral hygiene at home by brushing every morning and night and flossing at least once a day.
Of course! We love seeing children in our practice. We’re great at explaining things to them in a fun way and want to give them a positive experience when seeing us. It’s important to build good oral health habits from young to enjoy a healthy smile for life. It’s important for kids to experience going to the dentist with their parents in a positive way. If you feel slightly anxious about going to the dentist in front of your child, they will sense that and take on some of the emotions. You can feel reassured you are in safe, gentle hands with Dr Andrew and our team at St. Leonards Square Dental Care. ?For more information about children’s dental, please view our children’s dentistry page to learn more.
