Comprehensive Assessment for Lasting Oral Health
A dental check up goes beyond a quick look at your teeth. Our dentists carefully examine your gums, bite alignment, jaw function, and overall oral health. We also check for early signs of cavities, enamel wear, and gum disease, which may not always be visible or painful in the early stages.
For patients, this proactive approach helps prevent minor issues from becoming more complex and costly. We take the time to explain our findings clearly so you understand your oral health and any recommended next steps.
Professional Cleaning for a Healthier Smile
A key part of maintaining oral health is a professional dental cleaning, which removes plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing cannot fully eliminate. Our hygienists use gentle yet effective techniques to clean above and below the gumline, helping to prevent gum disease and freshen your breath.
This process also polishes your teeth, leaving them smoother and brighter. Many patients notice an immediate difference in how clean their mouth feels after a visit. Regular cleaning appointments are an important part of maintaining strong teeth and healthy gums over time.
Advanced Care and Smile Enhancement Options
In addition to preventive care, we also offer advanced cosmetic and restorative treatments to support your long-term smile goals. Patients interested in enhancing their appearance can explore smile makeover services designed to improve both function and aesthetics, all under one trusted practice.
Comfortable Experience with Personalised Care
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel overwhelming for some people. That’s why our team prioritises comfort, communication, and gentle care at every step. From your dental check up to your dental cleaning, we tailor each visit to your individual needs and comfort level.
Our goal is to create a positive experience that encourages regular attendance and long-term oral health success.

All new patients of our practice are strongly advised to book in for a check up and clean appointment. Having routine, 6-monthly check up and clean appointments is very important. This is because, without appropriate care, you may be exposed to a multitude of problems such as: bacterial infections, gum disease, bad breath and tooth decay. On top of this, maintaining good oral hygiene will allow for the longevity of your teeth as well as bring you confidence when you smile
The processes that are completed during your routine check up and clean appointment include the following:
- A full check-up. This consists of a thorough analysis of many things including your teeth, gums, jaw and much more.
- Clean. The clean consists of the removal of plaque and hardened calculus.
- X-rays. These consist of two smaller x-rays. These small intraoral x-rays allow for the dentist to check for decay between your teeth and, as a result, plan an appropriate treatment process. Additionally, we take an OPG x-ray at your first appointment and approximately every five years afterwards.
- Fluoride treatment. The application of fluoride, which is a natural mineral, allows for the enamel of your teeth to become stronger and prevents cavities.
- Treatment Planning. During your bi-annual check-up, your charting is updated and a plan of is created for any future treatment that is required to increase your oral health.
On top of these processes, here at Taigum Dental Team, we also perform what is call an OPG X-Ray once every five years. An OPG X-ray machine takes an image of the upper and lower jaws, and all of your teeth. An OPG allows for all teeth to be examined and assessed, including your wisdom teeth which may not be visible. When required, this x-ray is performed in order to check bone levels, root levels, teeth positioning, nerve location and more.
In between your bi-annual check ups, it is highly recommended that you brush twice a day; once in the morning and once before bed. You should also be flossing once per day in order to maintain good oral hygiene in between your preventative dental visits. Additionally, flossing is most effective when done at night!
