Comprehensive Dental Examination in Annerley
A thorough dental exam helps you understand the health of your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues. We check properly, explain clearly and give you a practical plan if anything needs attention.
A dental exam should give you more than a quick look
A comprehensive dental examination gives you a clear baseline. It helps identify decay, gum inflammation, bite changes, jaw concerns, soft tissue changes and areas that may need monitoring.
It is also a chance to ask questions. If you have sensitivity, bleeding gums, headaches, grinding, dry mouth, bad breath or a tooth that feels different, we can assess it and explain what is happening in plain English.
- Helpful if you have not seen a dentist for a while
- Suitable for new patients who want a complete oral health baseline
- Useful for sensitivity, bleeding gums, worn teeth, cracks or jaw discomfort
- Designed to give you clear options before making treatment decisions
What happens during a comprehensive dental exam?
The goal is simple: check your oral health properly, clean what cannot be removed at home, then explain your next steps clearly.
Teeth and filling check
We check for decay, cracks, worn fillings, broken edges, wisdom teeth and early changes that may need monitoring or treatment.
Learn about fillingsGum health assessment
Bleeding gums, swelling, pocketing and calculus build-up can point to gum inflammation or gum disease. Early action matters.
Soft tissue screening
We check the tongue, cheeks, palate, lips, floor of mouth and other soft tissues for changes that should be reviewed.
X-rays and photos where needed
X-rays may be recommended to check areas that are not visible in the mouth, including between teeth or around tooth roots.
Bite, wear and jaw review
Grinding, clenching, uneven wear or bite changes can affect comfort and long-term tooth strength.
Crowns and bridgesScale, polish and hygiene advice
A professional clean removes plaque and hardened calculus. We also give practical brushing, flossing and product advice.

Quick questions before booking
What is included in a comprehensive dental examination?
A comprehensive dental examination usually includes a detailed check of your teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite, jaw joints and any areas of concern. X-rays, photographs and other records may be taken where clinically useful.
How long does a comprehensive dental examination take?
Most appointments take around 45 to 60 minutes. The exact time depends on your oral health, whether x-rays or photos are needed and how much cleaning is required.
Is a comprehensive exam different from a quick check-up?
Yes. A quick check-up may focus on obvious issues. A comprehensive exam looks more broadly at teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues, jaw joints, records and risk factors so you receive a clearer long-term picture.
Will I need dental x-rays?
Not always. X-rays are recommended when they help diagnose areas that cannot be seen clearly during the mouth exam, such as between teeth, below old fillings or around the roots.
Does the appointment include a clean?
For eligible new patients, the $199 or no gap offer can include a comprehensive exam, clean and x-rays. If deeper gum treatment is needed, we will explain that separately before proceeding.
What happens if a problem is found?
We explain what we found, what your options are and what timing makes sense. You receive a treatment plan with costs so you can decide what to do next without pressure.
Can I book if I have not been to the dentist for years?
Yes. Many patients come in after a long gap. The appointment is about understanding your current oral health and helping you take the next step calmly.
Can children have comprehensive dental exams?
Yes. Children can have dental examinations to check development, tooth decay risk, brushing habits and early concerns. Eligible children may also have access to support through Medicare CDBS.
