Surbiton Dental 395 Ewell Road Surbiton Surrey KT6 7DG

At Surbiton Dental, we take a comprehensive approach to your dental care.

Your examination forms a vital foundation from which we aim to establish and maintain your dental health. Through advice, education, and simple preventative treatments, we want to prevent future problems because coming to the dentist for an exam and clean is easy.

What can I expect from my comprehensive dental examination?

On your first visit, we’ll take the time to get to know you, to understand you. We’ll discuss past treatment and clarify any concerns or problems you may have.
Your comprehensive dental examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums consists of:

  • Checking all teeth for signs of decay and disease
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Gum health check
  • Jaw joint exam
  • Clinical photos
  • Any necessary digital x-rays that help to diagnose issues that otherwise may go unnoticed

Advanced Diagnostic Technology at Surbiton Dental

We believe a dental exam should be more than just a “”quick look.”” We use a suite of high-tech tools to catch issues earlier and more accurately:

Advanced Radiography: We use the latest diagnostic software to analyse your digital X-rays. This acts as a “”second set of eyes,”” helping our clinicians detect the earliest signs of decay or bone loss that might be invisible to the human eye.

Intraoral HD Cameras: See what the dentist sees. We use high-definition cameras to take Clinical Photos of your teeth, displaying them on-screen so we can co-diagnose and explain your oral health in real-time.

Oral Screening: Beyond a visual check, we utilise advanced light-based technology to detect abnormal tissue changes in the mouth that are not yet visible under normal light.

Digital Low-Dose X-rays: Our sensors provide instant, high-resolution imaging with up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.

If you do require treatment, we’ll give you a personal plan that we’ll ensure you truly understand. At Surbiton Dental we never want you to feel rushed, we will always encourage you to ask questions. We want you to fully understand your problems and the options you have to fix them.

I had a root canal (in two stages) done by Minesh and I had such a positive experience. I didn’t feel any pain whatsoever, both during the procedure and after. Root canal’s can sound scary but I’d go as far as to say it was quite relaxing, especially as Minesh let me listen to a podcast and audiobook during the treatment. Highly recommend Minesh and his team, they are so caring and considerate - felt that I was in the safest hands!

I had an appointment with Daisy to have my teeth cleaned. It was a great appointment, Daisy was really good and it was the best cleaning I have had.

The loveliest people ever! I was petrified of dentists since my last one screwed up my root canal, but these people put me at ease, were so patient, calm and understanding. They are the loveliest bunch ever! My only regret is that I moved out of the neighbourhood - very far away, so I can no longer go to them. But if they opened a branch on the east side of London, I'd be back in a flash!

Staff are always friendly. Dentist is kind and listens to my concerns. I’ve never had a bad or painful experience at Surbiton Dental. I’ve been coming to them for years. Moved away to live in the US for four years and have come straight back to them. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

FAQ

What should I expect during a full dental exam?

During a comprehensive dental exam, your dentist will thoroughly check your teeth, gums, jaw, and oral tissues for any signs of problems. This includes looking for cavities, gum disease, abnormalities in your bite, and early signs of oral cancer. X-rays may be taken to spot issues that aren’t visible in the mouth, such as bone loss or decay between teeth. Your dentist will also review your medical history, discuss any concerns you have, and provide guidance for oral health improvement.

How often do I really need a dental check-up?

Most people benefit from a full dental exam and professional cleaning every six months. However, your dentist may recommend a different routine based on your oral health needs and risk factors, such as your cavity history or gum health.

Do I need X-rays every time I visit the dentist?

X-rays are not needed at every visit. Dentists take them only when necessary, for example, to check areas that aren’t visible or to monitor changes in your teeth and bones. How often you need them depends on your dental health, age, and risk factors.

How long does a comprehensive dental exam usually take?

A comprehensive dental exam typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether X-rays and cleaning are included and how many questions or concerns you wish to discuss.

Why does my dentist check for oral cancer during a check-up?

Oral cancer screening is an important part of a full dental exam to catch any warning signs early. The dentist looks for unusual lumps, red or white patches, or sores in your mouth, on your tongue, and around your jaw, since early detection makes treatment much more successful.

Can I ask my dentist questions or discuss concerns during my visit?

Yes, your dental exam is the best time to discuss any worries, pain, or cosmetic concerns you may have. Open communication helps your dentist tailor advice and treatment to your needs.

How should I get ready for a dental appointment?

Bring a list of your medications, medical conditions, allergies, and any questions or concerns. Maintain your regular oral hygiene before your visit, and arrive a few minutes early for forms if it’s your first time.

Why is gum health checked at every exam?

Healthy gums are key to overall oral health. At each exam, your dentist checks your gums for signs of disease, recession, or infection; early detection helps prevent tooth loss and other complications.

What’s the difference between a regular check-up and a comprehensive dental exam?

A regular check-up often includes cleaning and a quick look at your teeth and gums. A comprehensive exam is more in-depth, assessing your teeth, gums, bite, screening for oral cancer, and may include X-rays, a full review of your entire oral health.

Should I see the dentist even if my teeth don’t hurt?

Yes, most dental problems, such as cavities and gum disease, start pain-free. Regular exams help catch them early, preventing discomfort and costly treatments later.

What are the main benefits of routine dental exams?

Regular exams can prevent dental problems, catch disease early, keep your teeth and gums healthy, and even detect some health conditions in their early stages, supporting overall health and saving money long-term.

What if I’m nervous or anxious before a dental visit?

Let your dentist know how you feel; modern dental teams are experienced in helping anxious patients feel at ease, and can adjust their approach to help you stay comfortable.

Can early signs of gum disease or bone loss be found during a check-up?

Yes, early gum disease and bone loss are often picked up at routine exams, through gum measurements, visual checks, and X-rays, so problems can be addressed before they get worse.

Is it okay to eat or drink before my dental appointment?

It’s fine to eat or drink before your exam, but avoid sugary or sticky foods just before your visit to make cleaning and examination easier and more comfortable.
