Dental Checkup and Clean



Dental Checkup & Clean in Blackburn

For a healthy dental environment, we like to catch problems before they cause you pain and anguish. Whitehorse Dental campaigns for regular preventative care, including check-ups and cleans, to help with the early diagnosis of dental issues, whether they are mild or severe.

This simple treatment means less chance of significant dental problems for you in the future.

At Whitehorse Dental, we believe that prevention is the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. Our dental check-up and clean services in Blackburn are designed to help you stay on top of your dental health with professional care and personalised attention.

Why Are Dental Check-Ups Important?

Many dental issues begin without any noticeable symptoms in your mouth. Without proper dental routine care, small concerns can develop into more serious conditions like gum disease, tooth decay, or infections. That is the reason why dental checkups are important, as they allow us to detect problems early and keep your mouth healthy and pain-free.

Our experienced dentists at Whitehorse Dental thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, jaw, and overall oral health during each visit. Our dental professionals can help you avoid invasive dental procedures and unnecessary discomfort just by identifying potential issues before they become more complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a dental check-up include a clean?
In many Australian clinics, a check-up and clean are offered together, but it’s best to confirm with your dentist. At Whitehorse Dental, most of the time when patients request to book in for a clean, a dental check up is also done.
What is included in a dentist check-up?
A typical dental check-up includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite. It may also involve x-rays to detect hidden issues and an oral cancer screening.
What do most dentists charge for a cleaning?
The cost of a dental clean in Australia varies but generally ranges from $180 to $300, depending on the clinic, your oral condition, and whether extras like fluoride or deep scaling are needed.
Is a cleaning included in a dental exam?
Not always. Some clinics offer check-up and clean as a bundled service, while others treat them separately. Always check ahead of time to avoid surprises.
Why is a dental cleaning so expensive?
Dental cleans involve specialised equipment, professional expertise, and infection control protocols. They also play a critical role in preventing more serious (and costly) dental issues.
How much does it cost to clean all your teeth?
A full-mouth scale and clean typically costs between $180 and $300 in Australia. Deep cleans or periodontal treatments may cost more depending on the severity of plaque and gum disease.
Is dental cleaning considered routine?
Yes, dental cleaning is a routine preventive service that should be done every six months to maintain oral health and prevent decay or gum disease.
Is teeth cleaning considered dental treatment?
Yes. While it’s preventive in nature, a professional teeth cleaning is a formal dental treatment that helps manage plaque, tartar, and gum health.
Can children have a dental check-up and clean?
Yes, children should have their first dental visit by age one, then every six months after their adult teeth start coming in. Early visits promote lifelong healthy habits.
How long does a check-up and clean take?
The appointment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your oral health and whether any x-rays or extra assessments are needed.
