Good mouth hygiene starts with a regular dental check up and clean.

We perform thorough dental check ups
Preventative actions are your best ticket to healthy teeth and gums. Unfortunately, dental problems do not go away on their own and can spiral into larger issues that could have been prevented if detected early on. Our dentists in Fortitude Valley Brisbane will help you set healthy dental habits and can ensure you maintain good oral health with regular dental check ups and cleans.
During your routine check-up, we conduct a thorough oral examination to detect and address any potential irregularities. Our goal is to identify early signs of tooth decay, enamel erosion, weak or fractured teeth, and bacterial buildup. Additionally, we perform an oral cancer screening as a preventive measure. To further enhance your dental health, we provide professional fluoride applications and develop personalised treatment plans as needed. By prioritising comprehensive care, we ensure that your oral health is in optimal condition.
If needed, our digital scans and full mouth x-rays can give us a quick overview of what is taking place in the areas that is not visible to the eye but may impact your teeth. During your general dental consultation, you can raise any concerns you may have about your oral health.
What is a routine dentist check up and clean without walking out and experiencing a new smile? The feeling of a clean mouth is not just satisfying, but proof that you are looking after your teeth and preventing decay, cavities and other dental problems.
During your general dental appointment, we conduct a full mouth scale to remove buildups, tartar, plaque and staining. You’ll also receive a polish and a full mouth fluoride treatment for maximum fresh breath protection.
If visiting the dentist is not your favourite thing, our Fortitude Valley dental practice uses equipment that is quiet with minimal disturbance and noise. Our chairs are comfortable, and we take gentle care of all our patients. Dental phobias are a thing, we take excellent care of every patient and have a knack for calming the especially anxious ones.

General dentistry FAQ
-
The more you avoid your routine check up and clean, the worse it will be. The dollars tend to be bigger the further the can is kicked down the road.
The routine Dental check and cleaning involves full dental examination, oral cancer screening, x-rays (if required), scans (if required), professional fluoride application and treatment planning as necessary.
The normal cost for a dental checkup is $295; however, currently, Valley Dental is running a new patient special for $249 with all of the above included.

During a routine dental visit, several item numbers are utilised to ensure comprehensive care. These item numbers provide specific codes that help categorise and document the services performed and include:
011- new examination, 012- routine examination, 013- emergency examination
114- supragingival scaling and polishing
121- topical fluoride application
022- intraoral radiographs
-
The length of a dental checkup and clean varies from person to person, and also depends if you like having a chat or not. Typically the first visit to our Brisbane dental practice can take between 30-60 minutes.
Cleaning procedures can vary in time depending on the amount of calculus buildup on an individual's teeth. To put it in perspective, consider your teeth as you would your car. If you haven't washed your car in six years, it will naturally take much longer to clean than if you’ve been cleaning it routinely every six months. Similarly, the time required for cleaning will depend on the condition of your teeth.
-
Yes, you can use your health fund for a rebate on your dental checkup and clean. We accept all major private health funds.

Valley Dental prioritises creating a welcoming environment where all patients, especially those suffering from dental anxiety feel at ease. Our dentists excel in communication, take time to address concerns, and provide measures to ease anxiety.
Cheesy, we know. But truth be told when you visit the dentist twice a year for routine checks you greatly minimise the risk for future complications.
