What is a dental check-up and clean?

A dental check-up and clean is more than just a quick polish. It’s a full oral health assessment combined with professional cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that regular brushing and flossing can miss.

Here’s what’s typically included:

This thorough process ensures your mouth stays healthy, and gives you peace of mind that your dental concerns are being professionally managed.

The benefits of regular dental check-ups and cleans

Early detection of dental problems

One of the greatest benefits of a regular dental check-up is catching problems early—when treatment is simpler and less invasive. Cavities, gum disease, and even signs of oral cancer can often be spotted before symptoms appear.

Maintain healthy teeth and gums

Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. A professional clean helps remove these deposits, preventing gum inflammation (gingivitis) and advanced gum disease (periodontitis).

Fresh breath and improved oral hygiene

Plaque and bacteria are common causes of bad breath. A thorough dental clean and check up leaves your mouth feeling fresher and gives you personalised tips for better daily care.

Step-by-step process

The dental check-up and clean procedure at SIA Dental

We prioritise patient comfort while offering a comprehensive approach to oral care.

Welcome & medical history review

We begin with an update of your health history, medications, and any concerns you may have.

Oral examination

Your dentist checks your teeth, gums, jaw, bite, and soft tissues. We also screen for signs of oral cancer.

Digital X-rays (if needed)

Small X-rays or a full mouth OPG may be recommended to detect hidden decay, infection, or bone changes. These are bulk billed at select SIA Dental locations for eligible patients.

Scale and clean

Using an ultrasonic scaler, we gently remove plaque and tartar. A polish smooths your enamel and helps your teeth look their best.

Fluoride application

Your dentist will discuss any findings and offer advice on oral hygiene, diet, and future treatment needs.
