Comprehensive Routine Check-Ups in Prahran, VIC

Regular check-ups are essential to prevent issues before they start, forming the cornerstone of our general dentistry in Prahran. Our holistic approach to dental exams includes more than just checking your teeth; we consider your overall health. Each check-up involves:

  • Health History Review – We’ll update your medical and dental history to understand any new health concerns.
  • Comprehensive Exam – We thoroughly assess your teeth, gums and bite to identify any areas of concern.
  • Oral Cancer Screening – Early detection is key, so we include a screening to check for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Digital X-rays and Imaging – Low-radiation imaging helps us see what’s happening below the surface without unnecessary exposure.
  • Personalised Oral Hygiene Tips – We offer customised advice to keep your smile healthy at home.
  • Nutrition Tips – We offer simple recommendations for foods and habits that support a strong, cavity-free smile.

Professional Dental Cleans in Prahran: Essential for a Healthy Smile

Beyond your comprehensive dental check-up, a professional dental clean is a vital part of maintaining optimal oral health. At Lifetime Dental, your general dentist in Prahran, our skilled oral health therapists and hygienists perform thorough cleans to keep your smile sparkling and healthy.

A professional dental clean in Prahran involves:

  • Plaque and Tartar Removal – We meticulously remove hardened plaque (tartar) that your toothbrush can't reach, especially from along the gumline and between teeth.
  • Polishing – Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling incredibly smooth, making it harder for plaque to stick.
  • Prevention of Disease – Regular professional cleans are highly effective in preventing gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), cavities, and bad breath.
