Dental check-up and clean Surrey Hills: Prevention with purpose.

Experience gentle dental cleaning and deeply considered care at our plush Surrey Hills dental practice.

Healthy smiles start here. And stay that way.

When life gets full, taking care of yourself — and your smile — can fall to the side. But little things, like regular check-up and clean appointments, can go a long way in preventing much bigger dental problems down the track.

At Arc Dental, we offer comprehensive dental cleaning in Surrey Hills. Our examination and hygiene appointments go beyond the ‘routine check-up’ you once knew. Here, you’ll experience a calm, unhurried appointment with ultra-gentle care, advanced tech, and clear advice for your oral health now and into the future.

What is a dental check-up and clean?

A dental check-up and clean (also called an examination and hygiene appointment) is a preventative dental care appointment focused on maintaining good oral health and identifying any potential issues early. It involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, followed by a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar build-up.

It’s recommended that you see your Surrey Hills dentist for a dental check-up and clean appointment every 6 to 12 months, although some patients may require more frequent care depending on their gum health or other oral health concerns.

This treatment is suitable for:

  • Children, teens and adults of all ages
  • Anyone wanting to maintain good oral health
  • People with a history of decay or gum disease
  • Patients preparing for restorative or cosmetic treatments

Benefits of regular dental check-ups:

  • Maintains and improves oral health
  • Prevents cavities and gum disease
  • Identifies early signs of oral health issues
  • Prevents the need for more expensive or invasive treatment in future if issues are left untreated
  • Tailored advice on oral hygiene and other dental services to treat issues that may affect appearance or function of teeth

Calm, comprehensive care, shaped to fit you.

How often should I get a dental check-up and clean?

We recommend visiting every 6 months to maintain healthy teeth and gums, though some patients may need more frequent visits based on their gum health or medical conditions.

Does a dental clean hurt?

Our modern Airflow dental cleaning and polishing tools are designed to be effective yet comfortable. If you have sensitive gums or anxiety, let us know — we can tailor your care to suit your needs or offer sedation to keep you relaxed.

What happens if I skip regular dental cleans?

Without professional dental cleaning, plaque can harden into tartar, which brushing alone can’t remove. Over time, this can lead to gum disease, decay, and other oral health issues. Preventive care now helps you avoid complex restorative dental treatment (like root canal treatment, dental crowns, dental implants, or full mouth reconstructions) later.

Keep your smile on the right curve with regular dental check-ups.
