Stanmore Dental Check-Ups & Clean
Thorough exams and gentle cleans to leave you smiling
At Limitless Dental, we emphasize the importance of regular dental check-ups to maintain optimal oral health. Routine visits help in early detection of potential issues, ensuring timely intervention and preventing more extensive treatments later on.
What to expect during your visit
At Limitless Dental, we believe regular check-ups are one of the most affordable ways to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
As a new patient, you’ll receive a comprehensive examination with X-rays, photos, diagnosis, and a thorough clean. If time permits, we’ll also take an intraoral scan, using state-of-the-art dental technology and the latest technologies to create a 3D model of your teeth.
During Your Dental Check-Up
Your dentist will begin by discussing any concerns you may have—like sensitivity, pain, or changes in your teeth or gums. Then they’ll:
Examine your teeth for signs of decay, wear, or cracks
Check your gums for inflammation or signs of gum disease
Check your tongue, cheeks, and jaw to screen for issues like infections or oral cancer
Take X-rays or photographs, if needed, to detect problems below the surface (e.g., cavities between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth)
During Your Teeth Cleaning (Scale and Polish)
Once your dental check-up is complete, we’ll begin the clean
- Scaling: Using an ultrasonic scaler, your dentist or hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line
- Polishing: They’ll smooth the surface of your teeth using a polishing paste to remove stains and give your teeth a clean, shiny finish
- Fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay—especially if you’re prone to cavities
After Your Dental Check Up
Your dentist will offer personalised tips to help you care for your teeth at home—covering brushing, flossing, and dietary habits. If any concerns were identified, like tooth decay or early gum disease, we’ll talk you through the next steps and arrange any follow-up treatment. If everything looks good, we’ll simply see you again in six months for your next check-up.
Is Dental X-rays Required?
At Limitless Dental Stanmore, your check-up and clean may include low-dose digital X-rays to detect issues not visible during a regular exam—such as hidden decay, bone loss, or infection. We may recommend X-rays based on your dental history, risk of decay, or exam findings. They’re safe, quick, and only taken when clinically necessary—typically every two years.
If you’re pregnant, please let us know when booking your appointment and remind your dentist on the day. We won’t take any X-rays if you’re pregnant. Your comfort and safety are our priority, and we’ll always discuss alternative options or adjust the timing of any procedures as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental check-up and cleaning take?
A typical dental check-up and cleaning session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The duration can vary based on individual needs and whether additional procedures are required.
Do I really need a filling if my cavity isn’t causing any pain?
Yes! If left untreated, it can gradually get worse, eventually reaching the nerve of the tooth. This may lead to more complex treatment like a root canal, or in some cases, the tooth may need to be removed. Early treatment is always simpler and more cost-effective.
I’m pregnant and concerned about getting an x-ray. Can I still come in for a dental check-up?
We won’t take any x-rays if you’re pregnant, just let us know when you make your appointment and remind your treating dentist when you come in.
What should I do if I'm anxious about dental visits?
Dental anxiety is common. At our clinic, we encourage you to let us know if you’re feeling nervous—it’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’ll talk you through each step, take breaks when you need them, and use calming techniques to help you feel more at ease during your visit.
Can children have dental check-ups too?
Yes – we recommend children start seeing a dentist around age 2 for regular check-ups and gentle cleans.
