Dental Examinations
Dental examinations in the heart of London's West End
Your dental examination is about much more than checking your teeth.
It's an opportunity to understand your oral health, discuss any concerns you may have and receive clear, honest advice from an experienced dentist.
Whether you're visiting Shaftesbury Dental Care for the first time or returning for your regular check-up, we'll take the time to get to know you, understand your goals and help you keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Your First Visit
Choosing a new dentist is an important decision.
From the moment you arrive, our aim is to make you feel relaxed, welcome and completely at ease.
Your dentist will begin by talking to you about your dental health, any symptoms or concerns you may have and any treatment you're considering. We'll then carry out a thorough examination before explaining our findings clearly and discussing any recommendations with you. If any treatment is recommended, we'll explain your options carefully so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
What Does a Dental Examination Include?
Every patient is different, but your examination may include:
• A thorough assessment of your teeth
• An examination of your gums and overall oral health
• A review of any existing fillings, crowns, bridges or other dental work
• An oral cancer screening
• Advice on looking after your teeth and gums at home
• A personalised treatment plan
Oral Cancer Screening
A routine dental examination is about much more than your teeth. During your appointment, your dentist will also examine the soft tissues of your mouth, including your tongue, cheeks, lips and gums, looking for any unusual changes that may require further assessment.These routine examinations form an important part for spotting any early malignant changes.
Preventing Problems Before They Start
Many dental problems develop gradually and often without causing pain.
Regular dental examinations allow us to identify concerns early, when they are often simpler to manage.
Combined with good oral hygiene and regular hygiene appointments, routine check-ups remain one of the best ways to protect your long-term oral health.
Nervous About Visiting the Dentist?
If it's been a while since your last check-up, you're not alone.
Many patients delay appointments because they feel anxious, embarrassed or worried about what they might hear.
You'll never be judged here.
Our team understands that every patient is different. We'll explain everything clearly, answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable throughout your appointment.
Your Personalised Treatment Plan
If treatment is recommended, we'll prepare a treatment plan based on your oral health, your priorities and your individual needs.
We'll explain each option clearly, answer any questions you may have and make sure you feel confident before making any decisions.
