New Patient Comprehensive Examination in Belmont

belmont woman smiling in dental mirror Our new patient examination is a one-hour comprehensive oral health wellness assessment developed to empower, educate and inspire.

Besides preventive dentistry treatments and services, we aim to:

Get to know you as a person
Learn about any unique goals you might have
Educate you about your oral health
Offer you the tools to make healthy choices for your smile

At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, we love getting to know you, so relaxed conversations about your lifestyle, physical health, concerns and potential goals take place before your dental health examination.

At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, we take digital x-rays periodically, which are typically higher in definition but lower in radiation. This, in conjunction with high-definition scans of your teeth and digital photos, provides us with a valuable record of your dental health, allowing you to visualise any issues or areas of concern occurring in your mouth.

Good oral health requires healthy gums and proactive measures, so all our patients receive:

A comprehensive gum health examination
A gum disease analysis
An oral cancer screening

We complete your wellness exam by assessing your jaw joints and muscles for clenching, grinding or other related issues.

If your Belmont dentist identifies oral health issues, we lay out potential treatment options and explain them so you can make an informed decision about your dental care.

Why Preventive Dentistry Matters

You may think that if you don't have a toothache or notice oral health changes, you don't need to see the dentist. Unfortunately, dental health issues progress slowly, and you may not always notice the signs. Below are a few reasons to see your dentist regularly.

Tooth Decay

Cavities can show up between and behind teeth. You may not notice signs of tooth decay until the tooth is at risk.

Root Infections

Root infection symptoms can develop suddenly or slowly and lead to an emergency dental visit in Belmont.

Gum Disease

Untreated and undiagnosed gum disease can lead to tooth loss and even severe systemic health complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is professional dental cleaning of my teeth so important?

The two main reasons we lose teeth are decay and gum disease. Even with the best daily brushing and flossing techniques, plaque between the teeth and along the gum line can be missed. Over time, this plaque begins to harden and eventually turns into tartar. When left for an extended period of time, this buildup of tartar and plaque begins to develop into gum disease or cavities.

Professional dental cleaning removes all the tartar and plaque from your teeth and gums to assist you with maintaining a healthy and bright smile.

How often should I have a dental exam and professional clean?

Your smile is unique, and so are your dental needs.

In general, we recommend a dental examination and clean every six months for early detection of any dental issues. Catching and attending to decay and signs of gum disease in their early stages prevents these conditions from developing into more serious problems. Not only will this save you from the potential of experiencing unexpected pain, but it will also save you time and money in the long run.

Patients with risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, pregnancy or a history of gum disease can often benefit from having more frequent visits. Floss bosses with great oral hygiene require less frequent visits. At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, we tailor our recommendations to ensure your smile gets the right care at the right time, keeping it bright, healthy, and ageless.

Why do I need to have x-rays?

We strive to provide optimal dental care, and sometimes this can only be done with the aid of x-rays to help detect decay, infection, and view areas between the teeth or hidden below the gum line.

We understand the concern and reluctance around having x-rays taken. However, at Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, we take digital x-rays, which are higher in definition but lower in radiation. Rest assured, we only recommend x-rays when absolutely essential to your dental health.

Why do I need a filling if I’m not in any pain?

Decay in its early stages usually isn’t painful. It is once the decay has extended past the tooth's protective enamel layer into the dentin and beyond that things become sensitive and tender. As decay progresses closer to the nerves of a tooth, the pain begins to intensify and, if left untreated, can turn into a raging toothache. Once it reaches this point, a simple filling may no longer be possible. Attending to a cavity as soon as possible is always encouraged and recommended.

Do I need to schedule an appointment, or can I just walk in to be seen?

To ensure you receive the required amount of time to attend to your dental needs, please arrange a dedicated appointment time with us. We regret we are unable to squeeze additional patients into our day, as we pride ourselves on reserving appointment lengths which enable us to deliver our dentistry in a calm and unrushed manner.

Preventative Care Examination

Regular preventative care examinations are usually required every six months to enable early detection of dental problems, including:

Tooth Decay
Gum Disease
Emerging infections
Jaw Joint Issues

Patients with a higher risk of potential conditions may need more frequent visits every 3 or 4 months, while those with lower risk may only require annual visits. Our dentists will recommend how often you should visit.

Studies have proven that good oral hygiene can help prevent dental issues, so we always ensure we leave ample time to discuss your at-home dental care. And, of course, we have preventive care visit goodies to go!

Fissure Sealants to Help Prevent Tooth Decay

belmont woman hugging her husband's shoulders Dental fissure sealants are designed to protect your teeth from decay and are sometimes recommended when there are large grooves or pits in the molars. This type of preventative dental treatment is usually provided for children, but some adults may also benefit from sealants. Fissure sealants are durable, white-coloured, quick to apply and don’t require an anaesthetic.

Fluoride Applications to Strengthen Your Teeth

Fluoride applications help support and protect tooth enamel from plaque that causes dental decay. Professional fluoride applications contain a higher concentration of fluoride than is present in our toothpaste or water. Recommended for patients at high risk of dental decay, fluoride is applied to the teeth and painlessly absorbed within 30 minutes to help restore minerals on the tooth surfaces.
