Due a Check-Up? Regular Examinations Can Help

Regular oral health examinations allow us to spot potential problems early, often before you notice anything yourself. Catching issues early can save you time, discomfort and more extensive treatment later on.

Every examination includes practical advice on caring for your teeth and gums at home, along with a mouth cancer screening as standard, giving you a full picture of your oral health.

We welcome patients for oral health examinations from Derby, Hilton, and the surrounding towns and villages of South Derbyshire, including Willington, Etwall, Hatton, Egginton, Tutbury and Burton upon Trent, all within easy reach of our practice on Welland Road.

  • New patients registering with the practice
  • Patients with no current pain wanting reassurance
  • Those returning to the dentist after a break
  • Anyone wanting a full assessment before further treatment

May Need Assessment

  • Patients with active pain or swelling (an emergency appointment may be more appropriate)
  • Anyone with a recent dental injury
  • Patients already mid-way through ongoing treatment
  • Anyone overdue for X-rays or a full periodontal assessment
