Prevention: better before than after

Regular check-ups catch problems while they are small and easy to treat. A filling costs a fraction of a root canal or a crown.

  • A check-up at least every six months

What does

What does a check-up

Examination and diagnostics

A check of all teeth and soft tissue, with an on-site X-ray if needed.

Tartar removal

Ultrasonic removal of deposits above and below the gum line. Tartar is the main cause of gum inflammation and periodontitis.

Polishing and fluoride

After cleaning, the surface is polished to slow down new plaque build-up. Fluoride treatment strengthens the enamel.

A home care plan

Personal advice on brushes, floss and water flossers based on your gums and the position of your teeth.

Prevention

Twice a year

Check-up

We recommend a check-up twice a year. That way caries, gum inflammation or an old filling are caught early, when treatment is easier and cheaper.

Tartar removal

Tartar can’t be brushed away and often causes bleeding gums and bad breath. Professional cleaning is quick and painless, and is best done at every check-up.
