Dental Examination in Leeds

A dental exam is a check-up of your teeth and gums. Most children and adults should get a dental exam every six months. These exams are important for protecting oral health. Oral health problems can become serious and painful if not treated promptly.

Dental exams are used to help find tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems early, when they’re easier to treat. The exams are also used to help educate people on the best ways to care for their teeth and gums.

I had a check up, X-ray, clean and polish. I highly recommend this practice and Dr Gill took her time, explained things clearly and I did not feel rushed. Extremely professional staff and all did a fantastic job. Thank you all for looking after me! Brilliant place!!

I had an amazing experience at Smiles! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dentist was not only thorough and knowledgeable but also made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. I highly recommend Dr Gill and Natasha for their exceptional care and warm atmosphere. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel at ease.

Most adults and children should get a dental exam every six months. If you have swollen, bleeding gums (known as gingivitis) or other gum disease, your dentist may want to see you more often. Some adults with gum disease may see a dentist three or four times a year. More frequent exams may help prevent a serious gum disease known as periodontitis. Periodontitis can lead to infection and tooth loss.

Babies should have their first dental appointment within six months of getting their first tooth, or by 12 months of age. After that, they should get an exam every six months.

We use dental x-rays and these to identify cavities, gum disease, bone loss, and other problems that can’t be seen by just looking at the mouth.

To keep your mouth healthy, you’ll need to take good care of your teeth and gums, both by having regular dental exams and practicing good dental habits at home.

From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and looked after. They were so professional, friendly and patient throughout the whole process, and Dr Gill always took the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions I had. I’m so happy with my results and the difference Invisalign has made to my smile. The whole experience was so much easier than I expected, and I always felt like I was in safe hands. Thank you so much for all your hard work — I’m absolutely delighted with my new smile! 🥰✨ After vs before !

I had a routine checkup, scale and polish and a fix on a composite filling on my front tooth which had been bothering me for years. Walked away with my smile transformed and plenty of good advice on maintaining my dental hygiene. Thank you so much to the whole friendly team

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Switched from my old dentist to smile as wasn’t content with the service I used to receive. Absolutely over the moon with my decision and so glad I switched. Highly recommend to anyone in Leeds and surrounding areas. As for the nurse Morgan, she was polite, kind, understanding and bright. Worked very effectively and prioritised ensuring my comfort throughout my appointment. Furthermore, Dr Fiona performed a perfect dental examination on myself and explained any slight inconveniences I may possess while also praising my oral health. So glad I switched to Smiles😀

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed urgent treatment for toothache,  correction, as a man it was chronic toothache. The girls managed to find me an emergency appointment the next day, obviously understanding the pain and agony I was suffering and indeed the pain my wife was suffering. With all that in mind Fiona and the team were amazing. The surgery is immaculate, the team very professional and the calm clear manner in which they explained everything was first class. The toothache, sorry chronic toothache gone my wife highly recommends Smiles and indeed so do I. Thanks ladies.
