Why Dental Check-Ups Are Essential

Routine dental examinations are key to preventing minor issues from becoming major problems. Tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral conditions can often develop painlessly, until they require more complex treatment. Attending regular check-ups allows our dentists to detect these problems early, when they are easier and less costly to treat.

Your mouth can also reveal early signs of conditions such as oral cancer or even certain systemic illnesses. That’s why check-ups are not just about your teeth — they’re about your overall health and wellbeing.

The Benefits of Regular Dental Check-Ups

Early detection: Spotting problems early reduces the need for extensive and invasive treatment later on.
Cost savings: Preventive care is typically far less expensive than restorative work like fillings, crowns, or extractions.
Improved oral and general health: Maintaining good oral hygiene has been linked to better heart health, reduced risk of stroke, and improved diabetic control.
Peace of mind: Know that your mouth is in good condition and get professional support and guidance as needed.

The Treatment Journey

Every patient journey is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with Light Lane Dental Practice.

Consultation

We start by discussing any dental concerns, your medical history, and long-term oral health goals. Next, we conduct a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth—often using X-rays for a clearer diagnosis.

Treatments

We schedule a follow-up appointment for any necessary treatments and provide personalised oral hygiene guidance, including tips on proper brushing, flossing techniques, and making healthier food choices.

Follow-up

After your treatment is complete, we arrange your next routine dental visit at a convenient time for you, taking into account your schedule and the availability of appointments at our practice.

How Often Should You Visit the Dentist?

The frequency of your check-ups depends on your personal oral health and risk factors. Most people are advised to attend every 6 to 12 months. However, patients with ongoing dental issues or higher risk (e.g. smokers, diabetics, those with a history of gum disease) may be asked to visit more frequently.

Rest assured, we’ll recommend a check-up schedule that suits your individual needs.

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

Have a question about your dental treatment? We’ve answered the most common questions below.

How long does a dental check-up take?

A routine dental check-up usually takes around 20–30 minutes. If further treatment or a hygienist appointment is required, we’ll schedule that separately.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Please bring details of any current medications, your NHS number (if applicable), and let us know if your health or medical history has changed since your last visit.

Is a dental check-up free on the NHS?

NHS dental check-ups are not free unless you qualify for free treatment (e.g. children under 18, pregnant women, people on certain benefits). Otherwise, standard NHS charges apply.

What if I haven’t seen a dentist in years?

Don’t worry—we’re here to help, not to judge. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’ll welcome you warmly and help you get back on track.

Always amazing, so much better than any other dentists’ I’ve been to before. Reception staff are always lovely too. I was genuinely shocked at the level of care I’m given, and I am so so glad I moved here. Thank you all 🙂

They have an incredible service, my son uses the practice and they do so well. He really likes it plus the stickers he got at the end of every appointment.

I visited the practice on tuesday as I had a gold crown that had fallen out. Dr Chauhan was very helpful and was able to re fit it very quickly. I received excellent treatment. Thank you to all staff.
