Comprehensive Examination
Is This Your First Time?
Your first visit to our clinic can be quite lengthy. There is so much more to dental health than fixing holes in teeth. Apart from getting to know you, we take all necessary records to provide you with the best level of care. Dental health is a lifelong commitment, therefore we provide advice with a long term view in mind.
Our Comprehensive examinations allow us to build a personalised plan with you to support the healthy development and maintenance of your gums and teeth.
