Dental Check-up & Clean
A regular dental checkup and professional clean is one of the ways to help keep your teeth and gums in pristine condition and maintain that dazzling smile!
It’s an affordable alternative to long-term future dental problems.
Should you have any problems with your teeth then a comprehensive dental checkup will allow our professional dentists to make an accurate diagnosis of any issues. We can also go through a treatment plan with you, including our recommendations and a full cost breakdown.
We always put the best interests of every single patient first so you can be assured of top-class service every time.
Why regular dental visits matter?
Routine dental checkups are crucial for maintaining your oral health and preventing future issues. Our comprehensive checkup includes a thorough examination and personalised advice to help you avoid more extensive treatments down the line.
Health insurance rebates
The full cost of the checkup doesn’t need to reside on your shoulders. If you have private health insurance we can issue rebates immediately using our HICAPS machine. We are also preferred providers for Bupa, NIB and HCF.
The major variables that will affect the refund that you are entitled to receive for your checkup or treatment are:
- The overall cost of treatment
- Which health insurance fund you are with
- The level of extras cover that you have
- Being in participation with health funds to maximise customers’ rebates
Complimentary Gift
To ensure we continue looking after your ongoing oral health, after every checkup we provide you with a special gift pack containing quality Colgate products.
Professional Teeth Cleaning by a Dental Hygienist in Toorak
Would you like that long-lasting zingy freshness that only a professional dental clean can bring?
When compared to a clean with a dental hygienist, cleaning your teeth at home generally isn’t as effective at removing staining and calculus.
We all know how much a natural smile can light up your whole face, and that great feeling that comes with knowing your teeth are squeaky-clean and your breath is fresh.
Teeth Cleaning in Melbourne
You can book yourself in for a professional clean and polish at our practice along with our full dental checkup or as a single procedure.
Your Dental Hygienist will remove any plaque or tartar deposits from your teeth (including from those awkward-to-reach areas). A professional scale and clean will then remove any calcium deposits from the teeth to manage bacteria growth and staining.
A final polish will leave the surface of your teeth clean and smooth, making it difficult for bacteria to cling on to, therefore helping you to keep on top of your teeth-cleaning routine. Fluoride is also applied to the teeth to help strengthen and protect them.

Frequently asked questions
Most people should have a dental check-up twice per year. This is in order for your dentist to keep an eye on your dental health, prevent issues from occurring, and treat any problems that arise immediately.
If you are having issues such as dental pain and wish to be seen sooner, don’t hesitate to make a booking with your dentist as soon as possible.
No, your dental cleaning should not be painful.
During the cleaning, your practitioner will floss and polish your teeth, and use a descaler to remove any built-up plaque. While some of these steps may feel a little uncomfortable, you can ask to pause at any time.
If you do experience pain during cleaning, let your dentist know, and they can investigate the issue.
Yes, definitely. In fact, it is recommended to have a dental check-up during pregnancy, as pregnancy hormones can have an effect on your oral health. This can lead to issues such as inflammation of the gums and gingivitis. It is especially important to have a check-up if your pregnancy is causing you to vomit regularly, as this can damage your teeth.
Let your dentist know that you are pregnant so they can keep an eye out for these issues and offer advice for looking after your oral health during this time.
During your regular dental check-up, your dentist will scrape off any plaque that has built up on your teeth. This sticky substance is made from bacteria and forms on your teeth constantly, which is why it’s important to brush and floss daily to remove it. However, plaque often ends up building up, especially in places that are difficult to reach with your brush.
Plaque is the cause of numerous dental issues, including teeth discolouration, bad breath, and gum disease. If untreated, it can even lead to periodontitis, which can result in the loss of teeth.
Once plaque builds up, it is too stubborn to remove with a regular toothbrush, which is why a dentist will scrape it off during your check-up. This helps to keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
Your dentist will also offer advice on how to avoid plaque from accumulating in between appointments.
