Dental check-ups in London’s E20

Routine dental examinations at My E20 Dentist start at £30.00. X-Rays are charged separately, at £15.00 each.

A routine dental check-up at our London E20 practice usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes, giving us time to be thorough and to discuss our outcomes with you.

Taking a proactive approach to your oral health is preferable to waiting for issues to arise. Therefore, it's important to schedule regular dental check-ups at My E20 Dentist every 6 to 12 months. These allow us to stay vigilant about your oral health and hygiene.

Our skilled dental hygienist will start by assessing the health of your gums and inspecting for any plaque build-up and initial indications of gum disease. They’ll then clean and scale your teeth to remove any plaque, finishing with a polish to ensure your teeth shine when you leave us and your gums remain healthy between appointments.

Your dentist will start with a quick chat about how you've been getting on since your last visit and any concerns you may have. They'll then carefully examine your teeth for signs of decay, your gums for early signs of disease, and your soft tissues including your tongue and the inside of your cheeks. A thorough oral cancer screening is part of every appointment. If anything needs a closer look, a small X-ray may be taken. At the end of the appointment, your dentist will talk you through what they found and recommend any next steps.

Most dental problems are silent in their early stages. Decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, which is why regular check-ups are the best way to catch them while treatment is simple. Acting early almost always means simpler, less expensive treatment, and avoiding bigger problems down the line.

The biggest risk is letting small problems become big ones. A cavity that needs a filling today could need a root canal or extraction in two years. Early gum disease that could be reversed with hygiene treatment can progress to bone loss and tooth loss. Skipping check-ups also means missing the chance for early oral cancer detection, which is where outcomes are best.

No. X-rays are only taken when your dentist needs to see beneath the surface, for example to check for decay between teeth or to look at the roots and supporting bone. We follow clinical guidelines on when X-rays are needed and will always explain the reason before taking one. Each small X-ray is charged at £15.

Oral cancer is far more treatable when caught early. As part of every check-up at My E20 Dentist, your dentist will check the soft tissues of your mouth, tongue, and throat for any changes that may need further investigation. It takes just a couple of minutes but is one of the most important parts of the appointment.

If we spot something that needs attention, your dentist will explain it clearly and talk you through your options. For most issues such as small fillings or hygiene work, we can often treat you at the practice without needing to refer you elsewhere. For anything more involved, including orthodontics, periodontics, implants, or endodontic care, we have in-house clinicians with deeper training in those areas, so most treatment can be handled under one roof.

Yes. We welcome children of all ages and encourage families to come in together. Bringing your child to the practice early helps them feel comfortable about future dental visits and sets up good habits from the start. Children's check-ups are friendly, relaxed, and a chance for us to keep an eye on how their teeth and jaws are developing.
