7-Step Oral Health Consultation (inc Exam, X-rays & Hygienist)

Whether you are unhappy with your smile or want peace of mind your teeth and gums are in good heath … Royston Dental Suite can help you.

​

Before we start doing any work firstly we will ask you to take our 7-Step Oral Heath Consultation to make sure we know your teeth and gums are healthy.

​

In Royston, we are lucky, generally we have good teeth and gums, however around 32% of the new patients we see have some type of gum disease.  The UK average is around 50% of people have gum disease.

​

Here’s our 7-Steps to a healthy mouth...

  1. Firstly we want to relax you.  We will talk to about your dental history and discuss any concerns you have, however small they may seem.   Then we will talk about what the smile and look you would like. We can even talk in our private consultation room is ‘the chair’ makes you uneasy.

  2. Once you are happy in our chair we will start the exam.  At any time you are unhappy or feeling anxious, just lift your hand and we will stop.   All the teeth are visually checked and recorded on our computerised system. We are looking for any signs of decay or problems with the teeth and the way they work together as you bite.

  3. The gums are thoroughly inspected as this is one of the biggest problem in the UK.  Gum disease can lead to other problems in the body and though we can reverse any damage, with the correct treatment we can stop the disease from spreading and causing more problems.

  4. Your smile and face are looked at to see if improving the colour, shape or size of your teeth, or changing the appearance of your gums and lips will give your overall smile a more aesthetically appealing look.  

  5. If we feel it necessary we will take X-rays of your teeth and jaw.  Also we may take photos to record the look of the mouth also.     

  6. We will give you meticulous hygiene clean and polish.  This will include cleaning below the gum level to remove tooth plaque and scale build-up.  Most of the staining will be removed (for heavily stained teeth such as smokers we recommend our ‘Airflow’ system to remove staining).

  7. At this point we will discuss our findings and suggest ways you can improve your own dental hygiene if required.  At this point we will talk about what work needs to be carried out to take care of any problems and any work we think would improve the overall look of your smile.   We don’t recommended the false ‘Film Star’ look, but you’ll find a good natural looking smile will boost your confidence.    

​

We want you to be health and happy.  Healthy teeth and a great smile can help do that for you.  Why not book your 7-Step Oral Health Consultation today by calling Royston Dental Suite on 01763 244805
