When you come to see us at Brigstock, we will start every course of treatment with a full mouth examination.

We want to have a full understanding of your teeth and gums as well as learn more about you and your needs and expectations.

We will carry out a full assessment, gain a good general picture of your oral health and may take X-rays and photographs, enabling us to gather as much information about your mouth as possible. Once we have collected this information and identified your treatment needs, we can then discuss your options as well as the associated costs and finalise your treatment plan before going on to book your next appointment.

How often do I need a Check-Up?

We advise all our patients to attend for routine dental check-ups twice a year so we can ensure your teeth and gums are being kept as healthy and strong as can be.

We want to address any problem areas as soon as possible and hopefully minimise the need for intervention.

We also recommend dental hygiene appointments at least twice a year.
