Why regular check-ups matter
Routine dental visits are one of the easiest ways to maintain your oral health. At each check-up and clean, we look for early signs of decay, gum disease, and wear while gently removing plaque and tartar your toothbrush can’t reach. This helps prevent future problems and keeps your smile feeling fresh. At Plaza Dental, we make each visit comfortable and reassuring, so caring for your smile feels simple and stress-free.
Is it time for your next check-up?
A regular dental check-up might seem simple, but it plays an important role in protecting your smile over time. At Plaza Dental, we see these visits as more than just a quick clean. They are a chance to check in on your overall oral health, catch any concerns early, and keep things feeling fresh and on track. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning after a while, we’re here to make the experience comfortable and reassuring for the whole family.
You might be due for a check-up if you:
- Haven’t seen a dentist in the last six months
- Are experiencing bleeding gums, discomfort, or changes in your mouth
- Want to stay ahead of issues and avoid more complex treatments
- Are looking for a simple way to maintain healthy teeth and gums
- Have a child ready for their first dental visit
- Prefer gentle, personalised care that suits your lifestyle
Every appointment is tailored to you, from your first visit to your fiftieth. We take the time to listen, explain, and help you feel informed about your oral health. Let’s keep your smile healthy, comfortable, and ready for whatever comes next.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a check-up and clean?
For most people, visiting every six months helps keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoids bigger dental issues down the track. However, everyone is different. Some patients may benefit from more frequent visits, especially if they are prone to gum problems or have a history of dental concerns.
We will always tailor our recommendations to your specific needs, so you know exactly when your next visit should be.
Is a professional clean different from cleaning at home?
Yes, even with good brushing and flossing habits, some plaque and tartar build-up is hard to remove at home. Professional cleans use special tools to clean areas you cannot reach with a toothbrush alone, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
What if I feel nervous about dental visits?
You are not alone! Many patients feel a little anxious. But don’t worry, at Plaza Dental, we always take the time to make you feel relaxed and in control. Our gentle approach, friendly team, and calm environment help make your check-up feel as comfortable as possible.
