Dental check-up
An examination of the teeth, gums and mouth, with findings and options explained afterwards.
Could this treatment help you?
A check-up is a full examination of the teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues — including a screen for mouth cancer — with x-rays where needed. Problems found early are small, cheap and simple; the check-up is what keeps them that way.
A new patient examination at Pearl Dental, including x-rays, is £80. The practice is private, seeing private and Denplan patients, with evening appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays and Saturday opening.
This may suit you if
Everyone — and especially anyone who has not seen a dentist in a while. A gap of years is a reason to book, not a reason to be embarrassed; the examination starts from where your mouth is now.
What it will not do
A check-up finds problems; it does not fix them in the same visit. Anything needing treatment is explained with its options and written costs, and nothing is done without your agreement.

Afterwards
Nothing to recover from — you leave knowing the state of your mouth and when to come back. Check-up intervals are set by your risk, not a fixed six-month rule.
Questions patients usually ask.
How much is a check-up?
A new patient examination, including x-rays, is £80.
I have not seen a dentist in years — will I be judged?
No. It is a common situation and the examination simply starts from where you are. Problems are explained without lectures, and treatment is planned at a pace you agree to.
Do you see NHS patients?
Pearl Dental is a private practice and no longer provides NHS dental care. Care is available privately or through a Denplan membership plan — reception will explain the options when you book.
