Check-ups that keep problems small (and costs low)
A proper check-up takes time. We look at your teeth, gums, mouth and jaw, explain anything we find in plain English and never push treatment you don't need.
From £55
What it is
A full examination of your teeth, gums and soft tissues, with a mouth cancer screening and X-rays when needed. Add a hygienist clean to remove the build-up brushing can't reach and keep your gums healthy.
Who it's for
- New and existing patients of any age
- Anyone who hasn't seen a dentist for a while (no judgement, ever)
- Families who want everyone seen on the same visit
- NHS and private patients

FAQs
Your questions, answered
How often should I have a check-up?
Most people need one every 6 to 12 months, but your dentist will recommend an interval based on your mouth, not a one-size-fits-all rule.
Do you take NHS patients?
Yes. All 12 practices offer NHS dentistry where we have availability, alongside private appointments. Ask your practice about current NHS waiting times.
I'm nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely. Tell us when you book and we'll give you a longer appointment, explain everything before we do it and agree a stop signal. Sedation is available for treatment at selected practices.
Do I need X-rays every time?
No. We only take X-rays when they're needed to check for hidden problems, usually every one to two years.
