Dental check-up in Leicester
Regular check-ups are about more than just avoiding problems. They’re a chance to make sure everything’s healthy, ask questions, and keep your smile feeling like yours.
Why come for a check-up?
We don’t just look for problems — we keep an eye on how things are changing and give you the reassurance you need to look after your teeth well.
Spotting small issues early
Keeping gums and teeth healthy long-term
Monitoring wear, movement or sensitivity
Getting advice that’s right for your mouth
Supporting your general health too
Small appointments. Big difference.
What does a check-up include?
Your check-up is tailored to you, but usually includes:
A full look at your teeth, gums and mouth
Checking for signs of decay, gum disease or wear
X-ray
Screening for mouth cancer or other changes
Advice on brushing, flossing and any concerns
Planning for any future care you may want or need
If you need a clean, we’ll book you in with the hygienist — or we can include it on the day if your appointment allows.
No lectures. No pressure. Just honest care.
We know people put off the dentist for all sorts of reasons — and that’s okay. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’ll welcome you without judgement and help you feel comfortable from the start.
What to expect - 3 simple steps
1. check and listen
We look carefully at your mouth and ask how things are feeling. This is your chance to mention anything that’s been bothering you.
2. Talk through what we see
We’ll explain anything we find clearly, without confusing terms or unnecessary treatment plans.
3. plan ahead, if needed
If everything’s fine, great. If not, we’ll go through your options and help you make a plan that suits you — no rush, no pressure.
