What to expect at your dental check-up
Visit our Manchester practice twice a year - or as regularly as your dentist advises - to take a preventative approach to your dental care.
At your dental check-up your dentist will:
- Assess your teeth and gum health
- Take digital x-rays or impressions as required
- Make oral hygiene recommendations
- Discuss a personalised treatment plan, as necessary

Maintaining your dental hygiene
Alongside routine dental check-ups with your Manchester dentist, we also recommend you see us at Carisbrook Dental for regular dental hygiene treatments. Seeing our dental hygienist regularly helps keep your teeth and gums clean, reduces the build-up of plaque and bacteria and prevents tooth decay.
Dental care for little smiles
You’re never too young for your first trip to the dentist! Effective dental care starts as early as those baby teeth, with good brushing techniques and sound oral health habits. At Carisbrook Dental we encourage our patients to bring their children to see us as soon as their first teeth appear, and to keep coming back for regular check-ups from there on in.
Frequently asked questions about dental check-ups
A routine check-up usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, though your first visit or a more detailed exam may take a little longer so there's time to answer any questions.
There's no need to feel embarrassed - it's a common situation and our team is used to it. We'll take things at your pace, talk through anything we find, and agree a plan together before any treatment goes ahead.
Yes. We recommend bringing children along for their first check-up as soon as their teeth start to appear, to build good habits early. Find out more on our children's dentistry page.
Costs vary depending on the type of exam and whether any x-rays or scans are needed. We quote every price upfront before treatment, and you can find more detail on our fees and finance page.
Modern x-rays use very low levels of radiation, making them a very safe and effective tool in the diagnosis and treatment of many dental problems. At Carisbrook Dental we invest in the latest dental imaging technology to ensure your dentist can make an accurate diagnosis while providing you with a comfortable, safe dental experience.
If your dental check-up reveals a problem with your teeth or oral health, a further appointment will be made for treatment. Our team will be able to answer any questions that you have and will talk to you about financing options should you wish.
Anxiety or fear about visiting the dentist is very common. Fortunately, all staff at Carisbrook Dental are trained to support and assist patients who are nervous or have a fear of the dentist. Our practice is designed to be a calm, relaxed environment and we encourage you to speak to our team ahead of your appointment if you have any particular concerns.
