The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups
Even if your smile feels healthy, regular dental exams allow our team to identify concerns that may not be visible or noticeable yet. We recommend visiting your dentist regularly, often every 6 months, to support long-term oral health.
Routine checkups allow us to:
- Detect early signs of tooth decay
- Monitor gum health
- Identify issues with existing restorations
- Provide professional cleaning and polishing
- Address concerns before they become more complex
Preventive care is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile and maintain your oral health for years to come.
What to Expect During Your Dental Exam
Your dental exam at Urban Smiles Family Dental Centre begins with a conversation about your health, dental history, and any concerns you may have. We want to understand your goals and ensure your care is personalized from the start.
During your visit, we may:
- Review your medical and dental history
- Take digital X-rays when needed
- Examine your teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, and other oral tissues
- Check existing fillings, crowns, and restorations
- Screen your jaw joints and bite
- Discuss any concerns and create a personalized treatment plan
For new patients, your first visit may include X-rays to help our team evaluate your teeth, jaw structure, and overall oral health. We encourage you to share any dental concerns or anxieties so we can make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Regular checkup appointments typically take 20 to 40 minutes, and patients are seen by appointment only.
