Why are Dental Check-Ups Important?

Regular checkups and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health. They help prevent diseases like tooth decay and gingivitis and allow for the early detection of issues that could compromise the health of your teeth or gums.


Your appointment with our hygienist or dentist will take place according to the following steps:

  • Updating your general health
  • Head and neck screening - muscle palpation, temporomandibular joint screening, oral cancer screening
  • Gum screening (for any detachment of the gums and periodontal diseases)
  • Hard tissue assessment - check for any tooth decay/ tooth wear, investigating tooth grinding or clenching habits
  • Taking photos and X-rays (Optional)
  • Scaling, polishing, cleaning your teeth and fluoride treatment
  • Personalized hygiene advice
  • Updated treatment plan

FAQ - Regular Checkups and Cleanings Procedures & Cost

Please reach us at 03 9561 5355 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

According to ADA (Australian Dental Association) Regular dental check-ups, ideally twice a year, play a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. These routine visits empower our dentist in Wheelers Hill to monitor your dental well-being, proactively prevent issues, and promptly address any emerging problems.


If you're experiencing dental pain or any concerns that require immediate attention, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne at your earliest convenience time. Early intervention is key to resolving issues swiftly and preserving your oral health."


A standard dental check-up usually spans from 30 minutes to an hour, encompassing essential elements such as X-rays, an oral examination for any signs of tooth decay or bleeding gums, professional dental cleaning which will include a through scale and flossing of the teeth, and the explanation of a personalized treatment plan by our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne. It is also a chance for you to discuss any concern or problems you've been facing with our dentist.


The duration of your check-up may be shorter, around 30 minutes, if specific components are not required. Conversely, if you are dealing with urgent dental issues, your appointment may extend beyond 30 minutes to address immediate concerns.


At the first consultation, our dentist will want to find out about your health, both oral and general. The dentist needs to be aware of your medical background as it may impact the way that they treat and diagnose issues – diabetes, for example, can increase the risk of gum disease and may need different anaesthesia. Certain medicines, meanwhile, can cause dry mouth, which can increase your risk of cavities. Importantly, all your medical information will be kept confidential.


It’s also a good time to discuss any dental phobias – for some patients, fear of the dentist starts in childhood after a bad experience. Our dentist will take this on board – in fact, just talking about these issues can actually help relieve them.


After the first consultation, a full-check-up will take place, followed by a thorough treatment plan.


A regular dental check-up generally costs $250-$350, covering essential services like an oral examination, X-rays, and cleaning conducted by our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne or dental hygienist. Additional treatment, if needed, may incur extra costs.


Many private health insurance companies offer GAP FREE and rebates for preventive treatments, including dental check-ups. Be sure to check with your provider to explore potential coverage for your appointment.


Dental cleaning costs start from $120. But please keep in mind that our dentist will typically also want to conduct an examination prior to cleaning, for which additional fees apply. Your teeth cleaning cost will depend on how much plaque and tartar build-up you have, and how healthy your gums are. Please call our friendly Reception Team if you have any questions on pricing prior to your appointment. We’re happy to answer them! 


Dental examination costs start from $85. Many private health funds will cover the cost of regular dental check-ups. Please check with your health fund to determine what is included in your policy.

Atlas Smiles Dental Wheelers Hill, Melbourne accepts all major health funds. Our clinic is "preferred providers" for nib and smile.com.au


Whether or not you need a dental x-ray depends on several factors: your dental history, oral health status, and your symptoms. Dentists often recommend x-rays as part of routine examinations to detect any underlying dental issues, such as cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, or infections. X-rays are also needed before certain dental procedures, such as dental implants, orthodontic treatment, extraction, or root canal therapy. 


No, your dental cleaning shouldn't cause pain.


Throughout the cleaning process, our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne will floss between your teeth, polish them, and use a scaler to remove any built-up plaque. While some of these steps might be a bit uncomfortable, feel free to request a pause at any time.


If you happen to feel pain during the cleaning, it could signal an issue with your teeth. Notify our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne promptly when you experience discomfort so that they can investigate the problem and devise a suitable treatment plan.


After the examination, the dentist will discuss any treatment recommendations, covering everything from tooth brushing techniques to your diet and nutrition, alcohol intake, and smoking.


If there are any complications, a return visit may be required for restoration work, such as a filling or crown. For more complex work, the dentist may need to refer you to a specialist such as an orthodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon or an endodontist. At all stages, the dentist is happy to talk about different options – good communication is another vital skill in his or her repertoire.


Regular dental check-ups are important to keep your teeth, gums and mouth healthy. Even the most dedicated brushers and flossers cannot reach every area of their teeth and gums, which means plaque accumulates and can turn into tartar. If not treated, this tartar can cause gingivitis and lead to more serious issues, such as periodontal disease.


Regular check-ups ensure your mouth is properly cleaned and free from tartar and allow our dental professional to monitor your oral health. If a dental issue is detected, our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne can recommend the appropriate treatment before it progresses to a more serious problem.


Routine check-ups can be performed at any time during pregnancy. In fact, it is recommended that you do visit a dental professional or our dentist in Wheedlers Hill during pregnancy as the hormones in your body can have a negative impact on your gums. They are at a higher risk of becoming inflamed, infected and bleeding during pregnancy, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. 


To prepare for your dental check-up and clean, you should:

  • Brush and floss your teeth before visiting our dentist in Wheelers Hill. This will help to remove any plaque or food particles that may be stuck between your teeth or gums. It will also make the cleaning process easier and more comfortable for you and our dentist.
  • Avoid eating or drinking anything that may stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, wine or berries for at least an hour before your appointment. This will help to prevent any discolorations of your teeth and make them look brighter and healthier.
  • Think about whether you have any questions for our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne regarding your oral health and be prepared to let them know if you have any issues you'd like to discuss, such as dental pain, sensitivity, bad breath, or cosmetic concerns.
  • Update your medical record and dental history, such as any medications you are taking, any allergies you have or any changes in your health condition. This will help our dentist to provide you with the best possible care and advice.
  • Arrive on time for your appointment, or even a few minutes earlier to avoid any stress or rush. Try to relax yourself.
  • If you are feeling nervous or anxious about your dental check-up and clean, let our dentist or our staff know so they can take extra care to minimize any pain or discomfort. You can also ask them to explain what they are doing and why, and to stop if you need a break.


 If you miss your dental check-up and clean, you may be putting your oral health at risk. Dental check-up and clean are important for preventing and detecting dental problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other conditions that may affect your teeth and mouth. Missing your dental check-up and clean may lead to: 

  • Tooth decay: Plaque and tartar build-up can cause cavities in your teeth, which can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. If you don’t get regular dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, you may not notice the signs of tooth decay until it is too late. Tooth decay can also affect your overall health, as it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
  • Gum disease: Plaque and tartar can also irritate your gums and cause inflammation, bleeding, and infection. Gum disease can damage the tissues and bones that support your teeth and make them loose or fall out. Gum disease can also affect your general health, as it can increase the risk of respiratory infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and pregnancy complications.
  • Oral cancer: Oral cancer is a serious condition that can affect your lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and other parts of your mouth. Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Our Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne can screen for oral cancer during your dental check-up and look for any abnormal changes in your mouth. If you miss your dental check-up, you may miss the opportunity to detect oral cancer at an early stage.
  • Other dental problems: Besides tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer, there are other dental problems that may affect your oral health, such as infections, abscesses, impacted wisdom teeth, jaw damage, and tumours. These problems may not cause any symptoms until they become severe and require complex treatments. Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne can check for these problems using x-rays and other tools during your dental check-up and clean. If you miss your dental check-up, you may not be aware of these problems until they cause you pain, discomfort, or complications.

Therefore, it is recommended that you do not miss your dental check-up and clean, and schedule them every six months or as advised by our dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne. This way, you can maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems in the future.



Improving and maintaining your oral health is simple when you practise good oral hygiene and follow these steps:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day for 3 minutes each time using a toothpaste that contains fluoride
  • Floss your teeth every day
  • Use a mouthwash each day that contains fluoride
  • Wear a mouthguard while playing contact sports
  • Don’t smoke or chew tobacco
  • Eat a healthy diet and avoid high-sugar snacks and junk food
  • Visit Atlas Smiles Dental Dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne for a professional cleaning and examination every 6 months. Check your health fund if its covered for Free.


By taking proper care of your oral health, you can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Infections of the mouth can spread to the bloodstream throughout the entire body, resulting in more serious health issues. With at-home care and regular check-ups, you can increase your chances of avoiding damage and disease.



Teeth Cleaning is a delicate process where our dentist in Wheelers Hill professionally removes plaque and tartar build-up and superficial cleaning from your teeth. This is called a scale and clean. Although regular flossing and brushing help, it doesn’t entirely remove plaque and tartar as a deep dental cleaning can. You can book online and visit us 7 days a week for dentist teeth cleaning near you.



Regular teeth cleaning prevents common dental problems, while teeth deep cleaning addresses gum disease and its early stages. Deep cleaning restores gum health, prevents further damage, and complements regular cleaning for a comprehensive oral care routine.


Regular Teeth Cleaning: Regular teeth cleaning, or prophylaxis, is a standard procedure for maintaining oral health. It focuses on removing plaque and tartar from visible tooth surfaces, along the gum line, and between teeth. It helps prevent issues like decay, gum inflammation, and bad breath.


Teeth Deep Cleaning: Teeth deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is a specialized procedure for individuals with gum disease. It involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria below the gum line. Scaling eliminates deposits, while root planing smoothens tooth roots, aiding in gum healing and preventing future bacterial growth.



Our dentist in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne may recommend professional dental fluoride treatment following your dental cleaning. A dental fluoride treatment strengthens the enamel on your teeth and can help to prevent decay. This teeth cleaning treatment is painless and applied directly to your teeth.
