Can regular dental check-ups help prevent more complex treatment?

During your visit, your dentist examines your teeth and gums, monitors any changes since your last appointment and looks for signs of concerns such as tooth decay, gum disease or worn restorations. Identifying problems early may allow for simpler treatment options and help maintain your oral health over time.

What Does a Dental Check-Up Cost?

A new patient exam, check-up and clean costs approximately $305 to $445. Though this is subject to change depending on various factors. A new patient dental check typically includes:

  • A dental consultation
  • Any clinically required x-rays taken on the day
  • A professional clean
  • Fluoride application

If you do not require x-rays, a check-up and clean costs approximately $248 and includes a visual exam, professional teeth clean and fluoride treatment.

If your dentist recommends additional treatment after the exam, they will explain your options and create a personalised plan before moving forward.
