TREATMENTS
Comprehensive Examinations
At Riverside Dental Practice, we understand thorough dental examinations are essential to maintaining good oral health.
Our Philosophy
Our team is trained to identify dental problems early to prevent them developing into more serious concerns.
Our philosophy emphasises regular, routine dental assessments and dental hygiene sessions. These appointments will be based on your personal risk assessment to ensure we work together to maintain your oral health.
Before each examination appointment at the practice, you will be able to update a full medical history via our secure and confidential online portal or paper form in practice.
During the examination our team will:
-
Discuss any dental problems you may be experiencing.
-
Thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and head and neck for any abnormalities. We will then assess your smile to ensure not only a healthy mouth, but a confident you.
-
Take X-rays if required.
-
Evaluate your home oral hygiene routine and recommend any improvements such as interdental brushes or flossing as required.
-
Discuss general health and dietary issues that can affect your teeth and gums.
-
Explain any further recommended treatment. We will discuss with you the risks and benefits, along with all alternatives, and answer any questions you may have regarding your proposed treatment.
-
Provide you with a full treatment plan and estimate of fees tailored to your budget and work patterns.
-
If no treatment is required, your dentist will recommend your dental and hygienist recall interval based upon your comprehensive risk assessment.
