Checkup and Cleans in The Junction

At Maple Dental, our dentists provide attentive, proactive care that keeps our patients healthy.

With early diagnosis of periodontal disease, tooth decay, oral cancer screening and thorough airway examination, we don’t just promote healthy smiles, we help change lives.

What to Expect

At Maple Dental, your first visit starts with a focus on YOU: we listen. We take the time to understand your concerns, your goals and what helps you feel comfortable, so you can feel confident you will be well looked after.

We start with a thorough medical and dental history, your daily habits, any concerns you have and what you hope to achieve so we can care for you in a way that feels right for you.

Your dentist start of with an oral cancer screening which is a thorough examination of your head and neck and soft tissues in your mouth followed by a detail examination of your teeth and gums. We’ll look for early signs of gum disease and other concerns. If photographs or X-rays would help us assess your oral health, we will discuss these with you first.

Digital scanning, full-mouth x-rays (OPG) and 3D imaging are all available on site if needed.

Once we have gathered the information, we will take time to talk you through our findings, answer your questions and plan any recommended care together. We will tailor your care to your oral health needs and smile goals to suit your budget.

If you’re comfortable proceeding and a clean is suitable at this visit, we can finish with a clean and polish. Our Airflow system uses air, water and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and surface stains. We may also recommend fluoride to help protect your teeth or manage sensitivity.

We will share practical tips on the way you can care for your teeth at home.

At Maple Dental, the extra care is in the details: time to listen, clear explanations and an experience shaped around you.

Oral Cancer Screenings

At Maple Dental, we look beyond your teeth. Your oral cancer screening includes a careful examination of your lips, tongue, cheeks and other soft tissues, as well as your head and neck. It’s part of the thorough, personal care we believe every check-up deserves—and an opportunity to identify concerns as early as possible.

Occlusal Assessments

The way your teeth bite together (occlude) can impact everything from your airway and digestion to TMJ health and dental disease. We will evaluate your bite/occlusion to determine if interceptive orthodontics or clear aligners could be beneficial.

Airway Exams

Chronic snoring and sleep apnoea are often related to your oral anatomy. When airway blockage reduces oxygen intake, it can lead to chronic fatigue and additional problems. Should we note an airway obstruction, we can make an appropriate recommendation for a possible sleep study or oral appliance. Read More on Sleep Apnoea here.

Schedule Every Six Months

To keep your smile healthy, we recommend patients book an active maintenance appointment twice each year. Read further on Tooth decay at https://www.teeth.org.au/tooth-decay.
