Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. Most patients are recommended twice-yearly examinations and cleaning. Not only do they help prevent dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier and your teeth cleaner and whiter.

Dental check-ups in Kingsbridge
Your teeth are examined thoroughly, accompanied by a hand scale and polish.
Examinations
More than just your teeth
Examinations at Quay Dental Surgery include cancer screening by feeling the soft tissues in your neck, and a thorough look at your tongue and the back of your throat, as well as your cheeks and lips.
Your gums are also examined to rule out gum disease and to pick up any areas you might be missing when brushing.
If anything does need doing, our clinicians will discuss this with you and provide a treatment plan, including the cost and how many appointments are required. We will always discuss the different treatment options so you have all the information you need to decide what is best for you.
