Regular dental exams are vital for maintaining oral health. At London Dental Specialists, our comprehensive examinations help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and identify potential issues early when treatment is simpler and less invasive. Our experienced dentists perform thorough visual inspections of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, looking for signs of decay or abnormalities. Many patients have questions about what happens during dental exams, how often they should schedule them, and what specific procedures involve. We understand that dental visits can cause anxiety for some, which is why we've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions about dental examinations to help you feel more comfortable and informed about your oral healthcare journey.
A comprehensive dental examination at London Dental Specialists typically includes:
Our specialists document their findings and discuss any treatment recommendations with you during the same appointment.
Most patients should have a dental examination every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on your individual oral health needs. Patients with higher risk factors such as gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions may benefit from more frequent examinations every 3-4 months. During your first visit, our specialists will recommend a personalised examination schedule based on your specific oral health status.
Dental X-rays at London Dental Specialists are very safe. We use digital radiography which requires up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. For most patients, bitewing X-rays are recommended once yearly, while full mouth X-rays are typically taken every 3-5 years. The frequency depends on your oral health history, risk factors, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Pregnant patients should inform us beforehand, as X-rays are typically postponed unless absolutely necessary.
A regular check-up typically focuses on basic oral health maintenance and specific concerns, while a comprehensive dental examination is a more thorough assessment of your entire oral health. At London Dental Specialists, our comprehensive examinations include detailed charting of existing conditions, full periodontal assessment, oral cancer screening, TMJ evaluation, aesthetic assessment, and a complete review of your dental and medical history. New patients typically receive a comprehensive examination during their first visit, with regular check-ups scheduled thereafter.
To prepare for your dental examination at London Dental Specialists:
If you have dental anxiety, please inform us beforehand so we can take extra steps to ensure your comfort.
The Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) is a qualifying exam for dentists who have qualified outside the UK and wish to practice in the UK. It assesses whether overseas qualified dentists have the knowledge and skills equivalent to a UK dental graduate. The examination consists of two parts: Part 1 includes written papers, while Part 2 involves clinical assessments. At London Dental Specialists, some of our international team members have successfully completed the ORE before joining our practice, ensuring all our specialists meet the high standards required for UK dental practice.
The cost of a dental examination at London Dental Specialists varies depending on whether you're a new or returning patient and the type of examination required. A standard examination typically ranges from £80-£150, while a comprehensive new patient examination may cost between £150-£250. These fees often include routine X-rays and professional cleaning. We provide transparent pricing before any procedures and offer various payment options. Please contact our reception team for the most current fee schedule and to discuss any concerns about costs.
