The Foundation of Lasting Oral Health

Maintaining a healthy smile for life begins with regular preventative care. At Cosmetique Dental™, we provide comprehensive dental check-ups and professional cleans at our 9 locations across Sydney and Canberra. This essential service is the foundation of good oral hygiene, allowing us to monitor your health, address potential issues early, and leave your teeth feeling fresh, smooth, and meticulously clean.

What Is a Check-up and Clean?

A dental check-up and clean is a routine preventative appointment with two key parts:

  • The Comprehensive Check-up:

    Your dentist performs a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes a visual inspection and may involve diagnostic x-rays to detect any underlying issues that are not visible to the naked eye, such as decay between teeth or problems below the gum line.

  • The Professional Clean:

    Our dental practitioner uses specialised instruments to gently remove plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from the surfaces of your teeth. The appointment concludes with a professional polish to remove surface stains, leaving your smile feeling smooth and looking bright.

Who Is This Essential Service For?

A regular check-up and clean is recommended for every patient, regardless of age or the current state of their oral health. It is the cornerstone of preventative dentistry, designed for anyone who wishes to proactively maintain their smile and minimise the risk of future dental problems. This routine visit is fundamental for long-term oral wellness.

This Service Is Essential For:
  • Every patient seeking to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
  • Those wanting to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
  • Patients who wish to have surface stains from coffee, tea, or food removed.
  • Individuals who require a professional assessment of their oral condition.
  • Anyone looking to ensure the longevity of existing dental work, such as crowns or fillings.

A Process of Thorough Maintenance

Our check-up and clean appointment is a structured and meticulous process designed to assess, clean, and protect your smile efficiently and comfortably.

1. Initial Discussion and Review

We begin by discussing any concerns you may have about your oral health. We will also review your medical and dental history to ensure we have a complete picture.

2. Comprehensive Dental Examination

Your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth for any signs of decay, check the health of your gums for inflammation, and screen for any other oral abnormalities. Diagnostic x-rays may be taken if necessary.

3. Professional Scaling and Cleaning

Using specialised tools, our practitioner will carefully remove built-up plaque and tartar from around your gum line and between your teeth, areas that are often missed during at-home cleaning.

4. Polishing and Preventative Care

Your teeth are then polished with a high-grade paste to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that is more resistant to plaque build-up. A topical fluoride treatment may also be applied to help strengthen your enamel.

5. Personalised Oral Health Plan

To conclude your visit, your dentist will discuss their findings with you and provide personalised advice on your home care routine. If any further treatment is needed, we will explain your options and create a clear plan with you.

FAQs About Dental Check-up and Clean Sydney and Canberra

How often should I have a check-up and clean?

For most patients, we recommend a professional check-up and clean every six months. This frequency is generally effective for preventing the build-up of tartar and allows your dentist to identify and address any potential issues, like small cavities, before they become more serious problems.

However, your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual oral health needs. Patients with a higher risk of gum disease or other specific conditions might benefit from more frequent visits, such as every three to four months. We will always provide a recommendation that is tailored specifically to you.

Yes, it is significantly different and more thorough. While daily brushing and flossing are essential for removing plaque, they cannot remove tartar (hardened plaque). Once plaque calcifies into tartar, it can only be removed with specialised dental instruments. A professional clean is the only way to effectively eliminate this build-up.

Furthermore, our practitioners can clean hard-to-reach areas that are often missed at home. The final polish not only removes stains but also leaves your teeth feeling exceptionally smooth and clean, contributing to both the health and appearance of your smile.

Visit our dental clinics in North Sydney, the Sydney CBD, Bondi Junction, Parramatta, Macquarie Park, Hornsby and Canberra for dental check-up and clean treatments.

For most patients, a professional clean is a comfortable procedure. You may feel some light pressure or scraping sensations as the tartar is removed. Polishing is also a very gentle process.

If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, you might experience some minor discomfort during the scaling part of the clean. Please let our team know if you are feeling anxious or have sensitive areas. We are committed to ensuring your comfort and can use techniques and products to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
