Routine dental care is the foundation of good oral health, helping to prevent problems before they develop and promote beautifully healthy smiles. We recommend regular checkups every six months for most patients, though this may vary based on your individual needs.
Prevention is always better than cure in dentistry. Routine dental care helps identify potential issues early when they’re typically easier and less expensive to treat. They also allow us to monitor changes in your oral health over time and adjust your care plan accordingly.
Regular dental checkups allow us to spot early signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues, helping you maintain a healthy smile and potentially avoid more complex treatment in the future.
We recommend bringing children for their first dental care checkup when their milk teeth start to appear. These early visits help us monitor their dental development and help your child feel comfortable in the dental environment. We make these appointments fun and educational, setting the foundation for good oral health habits.
At Pure Dental, our routine dental care checkups involve a comprehensive assessment of your overall oral health, including your gums, jaw, and soft tissues. Routine dental care is vital for spotting and addressing potential problems before they become serious, contributing to better overall health outcomes.
Our highly-trained dental hygienists provide professional cleaning treatments that go far beyond what can be achieved with regular brushing and flossing at home. Using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, they'll gently remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains while caring for your gum health.
Using the latest techniques and high-quality materials, our experienced dentists ensure your tooth filling is long-lasting, comfortable and perfectly matched to your natural tooth colour. Whether you need a new dental filling or want to replace old metal fillings with modern white alternatives, we're here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
