Dental health assessment

At your first appointment with Smiles Centre you’ll receive a full dental health assessment. We like to find out as much as we can about you and your previous dental care. That way, we can offer you the best possible service and expertise.

During a thorough examination using photographs, x-rays and scans your dentist will check the health of your head, neck and inside your mouth. This will provide you with a complete understanding of the health of your mouth and teeth and allows us to recommend a personal dental health plan and recall routines best suited to your individual needs.

Before we begin, you’ll need to complete a medical history to ensure we can also fully cater to your medical needs.

Your dental health assessment will review:

  • Signs of tartar build up and decay
  • Identify any chips and cracks
  • Health of gums
  • Condition and functionality of any existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures
  • Identify any concerns with your bite
  • Jaw alignment and clicking
  • Signs of stress and teeth grinding
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Cosmetic restoration options

Our dentists are committed to providing you with high-quality dental care, using the latest equipment, materials, procedures, techniques and expert advice to offer you a complete insight into your dental health.

If you would like to book a dental health assessment with Smiles Centre or to find out more about what we could do for you, please give our team a call on 01793 722266.

The staff at Smiles Centre have always offered a supportive and expert dental service, but I discovered today that they are miracle workers. I presented with a very difficult tooth extraction and replacement problem, which needed to be resolved the day before the lab would be closed for two weeks. The receptionist juggled appointments to get me, Dragi extracted the tooth and the lab technicians managed successfully to add a tooth to my plate, in a position that seemed impossible to access. I am amazed, delighted and grateful in quality measure.

As always everyone was great especially Theresa and Kate - after arriving late with my wife (not happy!) because of traffic delays. The team at Smiles handled the situation brilliantly

Neha (the Hygenist) is particularly lovely, gentle and kind. She always checks all is well and is friendly, courteous and professional. The dental nurse was also very good, friendly and professional. They both put me at ease.
