At Lyons Dental we focus on preventative dentistry. We prefer to prevent problems from occurring &to fix little problems earlier, as it is usually much easier & cheaper to do so before they have a chance to become big problems. A lot can change in 6 months! Therefore a regular 6 monthly dental check-up can save you a lot of pain and expense in the long-term.
Over time, if food (dental plaque) is allowed to build up on the teeth this can harden into tartar, which can no longer be removed with brushing or floss. Only a dental professional is able to remove this tartar effectively. Failure to do so can result in accumulation of bacteria around the teeth & gums, which can go on to cause gum disease & early loss of teeth. And who doesn’t love the feeling of recently cleaned & polished teeth?
It is also important that your dentist checks your teeth thoroughly for any signs of dental decay & monitors existing fillings and restorations to ensure that they are still working effectively.
Our dentists will want to get to know you. We’ll chat about any problems that you may be having with your mouth, or any issues you may want to improve. Your medical history is important & medical conditions & medications can have an effect on your oral health. We may also discuss any relevant lifestyle factors such as your diet &oral habits. This initial conversation is important because our Doctors need to paint a picture of your oral health & ascertain your concerns.
This will allow our dentists to give you the best tailored advice and treatment possible. Every dental check-up gives us the opportunity to assess any changes in your mouth and how we may be able to maintain or improve things as required.
A general dental check-up from Lyons Dental will usually include:
An examination of your mouth, teeth& gums will be conducted.
At Lyons Dental, we chart every patient's teeth to track their oral health, monitor changes, and plan any necessary treatments—ensuring proactive and personalized care.
At Lyons Dental, we use low-radiation digital X-rays to detect hidden issues between teeth, under fillings, or in roots and bone. We recommend X-rays only when necessary for a thorough diagnosis.
At Lyons Dental, most check-ups include a professional clean, polish, and fluoride treatment to remove plaque, strengthen teeth, and prevent decay
Following your examination, our expert doctors will provide you with informative feedback, and recommendations for the care & treatment of your teeth. If you require any additional services our staff can provide different options based on your needs, provide a quote for treatment & make plans to carry out this treatment in a timeframe that suits you.
We are also aware dental visits are not everyone’s cup of tea, so all of our rooms are equipped with nitrous oxide (‘happy gas’) to help make your visits a bit more comfortable if you would prefer.
We accept all health fund cards & process the health fund payments at each appointment, saving you the hassle of following up these payments yourselves.
