❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients benefit from a check-up and clean every six months. However, patients with higher risk factors — such as gum disease, a history of cavities, or dry mouth — may need to visit every three to four months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule tailored to your specific needs during your appointment.
Does teeth whitening damage my enamel?
When performed correctly with professional-grade products, teeth whitening is safe and does not damage enamel. Sensitivity during or after treatment is common but temporary. Over-the-counter products can cause damage when misused, which is why we recommend professional whitening under dental supervision.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
We recommend booking your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing — whichever comes first. Early visits help children feel comfortable in the dental environment and allow us to monitor development and provide preventive care from a young age.
Are dental implants painful?
The implant procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should feel no pain during the surgery itself. Mild discomfort and swelling in the days following placement is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients report that recovery is easier than they expected.
How long do clear aligners take to work?
Treatment duration varies significantly depending on the complexity of tooth movement required. Mild cases can be resolved in as little as 3–6 months, while more comprehensive treatments typically take 12–18 months. Your dentist will provide a personalised timeline during your initial consultation.
Do you see anxious or nervous patients?
Absolutely — dental anxiety is extremely common and our whole team is trained to support nervous patients. We offer a range of options including detailed explanations before each step, regular breaks, a 'stop signal' system, and happy gas (nitrous oxide sedation) for patients who need extra support. Just let us know when you book and we'll take extra care of you.
