What to expect

What will happen at your dental check-up?

Your dentist will carefully assess your teeth, gums, and soft tissues to look for any signs of irregularities such as swelling or decay. We’ll also carry out a thorough oral cancer screening.

We may also take small X-rays to ensure there are no underlying issues affecting your teeth. Your dentist will explain the outcome of their assessment with you and discuss a personalised treatment plan, if they think it’s necessary.

A bright treatment room at My E20 Dentist

A quick chat

Your dentist starts with a quick chat about how you’ve been getting on since your last visit and any concerns you may have.

Your teeth

They’ll carefully examine your teeth for signs of decay.

Your gums

Then your gums, for early signs of disease.

Soft tissues

Including your tongue and the inside of your cheeks. A thorough oral cancer screening is part of every appointment.

What we found

If anything needs a closer look, a small X-ray may be taken. Your dentist will then talk you through what they found and recommend any next steps.

Part of every check-up

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.

All ages welcome

Family dental care at My E20

You’re never too young for your first trip to the dentist. We welcome patients of all ages to our practice in London’s E20 and encourage you to bring your children to dental check-ups. Introducing them to our clinic at an early age helps them feel more at ease about future dental appointments and encourages healthy oral hygiene habits, laying the foundation for a lifetime of excellent dental health.

Children’s check-ups are friendly, relaxed, and a chance for us to keep an eye on how their teeth and jaws are developing.

If we find decay

Dental fillings

During a dental check-up, it’s possible that your dentist may find decay or a cavity that needs a small filling. This is a simple procedure typically done with a local anaesthetic. Before starting the treatment, we’ll discuss the process with you, including an option for white fillings.

About white fillings

Prevention

Looking after your oral health and preventing gum disease

Similar to dental check-ups, regular appointments with a hygienist are crucial for ensuring optimal oral health and keeping your breath fresh. They are an important part of combatting plaque and bacteria build-up, reducing the risk of infections and tooth decay.

Early detection of gum disease is key to preventing tooth damage, making treatment easier and more affordable.

Stage one

Gingivitis

Gingivitis, the initial stage of gum disease, manifests as red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

If left untreated

Periodontitis

A more severe infection causing discomfort and difficulty eating, potentially leading to tooth loss.

While we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry solutions for replacing missing teeth, timely intervention to address gum disease is the preferred approach here at My E20 Dentist.

Why My E20

Why choose us for your check-ups

A check-up is only as useful as what happens next. Here, most of what we find can be treated under the same roof.

Most treatment under one roof

For orthodontics, periodontics, implants or endodontic care, we have in-house clinicians with deeper training in those areas.

Early detection

Most dental problems are silent in their early stages, so we look for them while treatment is still simple.

Oral cancer screening every time

A thorough screening of your mouth, tongue and throat is part of every check-up, not an added extra.

A dedicated childrens dentist

We welcome children of all ages and encourage families to come in together, in a friendly, relaxed appointment.

X-rays only when needed

We follow clinical guidelines on when X-rays are needed and will always explain the reason before taking one.

White fillings offered

If a small filling is needed, we’ll discuss the process with you, including an option for white fillings.

Frequently asked questions

about dental check-ups at My E20 Dentist

How much does a dental check-up cost?

A new patient examination at My E20 Dentist is £50.00, and a routine examination (check-up) is £50.00. If X-rays are needed, two bitewings are charged at an additional £30.

How long does a check-up appointment take?

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.

How often should I have a dental check-up?

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.

What happens at a dental hygiene appointment?

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.

What happens step by step during a dental check-up?

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.

Why are dental check-ups so important?

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.

What are the risks of skipping dental check-ups?

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.

Do I need X-rays at every check-up?

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. If X-rays are needed, two bitewings are charged at an additional £30.

Why is oral cancer screening part of a check-up?

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.

What happens if you find a problem at my check-up?

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.

Are dental check-ups suitable for children?

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.
