Dental Examination In Mt. Eliza

For most people we recommend a thorough dental examination every 6 months. If you are a new patient to our practice we will allow a full hour for your first examination.

The dentist will examine your teeth, mouth, lips, palate and tongue for any signs of disease or anything unusual.

We generally recommend a full mouth x-ray (OPG) once every 5 years. This shows teeth, jaw and sinuses, and is useful for detecting nasty little surprises before any symptoms develop. OPG x-rays are also often required to check wisdom teeth. Smaller bitewing x-rays are recommended every 2 years to detect decay between the teeth.
