Dentist Varsity Lakes

As the old saying goes, prevention is better than a cure and maintaining your oral health is one of the easiest ways to prevent having to undergo extensive treatments. By scheduling regular cleans and examinations with our team, you can ensure that your teeth are in ideal condition and avoid a major issue from occurring. This equals less pain, time and money.

When you book in for an examination and clean, it includes complimentary x-rays. Some of the steps involved include a polish, scale and fluoride treatment leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean when you leave. Your dentist will give you a rundown of the current condition of your teeth and any areas of concern if any. They will also provide information on what you can be doing at home to maintain the quality of your teeth.
