about the treatment

Dental Check-Ups in Marlow

A standard dental check-up is carried out by an experienced, qualified dentist and is the best way to spot any problems with your mouth before they become serious. Both adults and children require routine dental appointments on a regular basis because preventative dentistry is the key to keeping your mouth healthy.

Routine dental appointments are usually carried out every six months, but the number of times you need to attend these appointments varies from patient to patient. Some patients may require more frequent visits, while others may need to come into the practice less often–your dentist will advise you on how often you need a regular check-up.

treatment process

What happens at a routine dental check-up?

If it is your first appointment at the practice, your dentist will take a full dental and medical history. They will also:

step 01

Thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and mouth.

step 02

Take X-rays if necessary.

step 03

Discuss any dental problems you may have had since your last visit

step 04

Discuss general health and dietary issues that can affect your teeth and gums—such as alcohol consumption or smoking.

step 05

Discuss your teeth-cleaning habits, such as brushing technique, and recommend any improvements such as interdental brushes or flossing as required.

step 06

Explain any further treatment you may need, such as fillings, root canal treatment or hygienist appointments.

step 07

Provide you with a full treatment plan.

step 08

Answer any questions you may have regarding your treatment and what options are available.

step 09

If you require no other treatment, your dentist will let you know when you should come for your next routine check-up.

Maintain good oral health.
Spot any problems early.
In many cases, prevent problems before they start.

frequently asked questions

Typically, 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the restoration. Your dentist will provide a more specific time estimate during your consultation.

The tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some patients experience mild sensitivity afterwards, which usually settles within a few days.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, CEREC crowns can be expected to last many years. Longevity depends on individual factors, including your bite, oral hygiene habits, and general wear. Your dentist will advise on how to care for your crown.

Yes. The ceramic material used in CEREC crowns is strong and wear-resistant. Clinical research supports their use as a durable, long-term restoration comparable to traditional alternatives.

CEREC crowns are made from ceramic that mimics the translucency and colour of natural enamel. Your dentist colour-matches the crown to your surrounding teeth during the design stage.

Most teeth that need a crown can be treated with CEREC, but suitability depends on the location, condition, and amount of remaining tooth structure. Your dentist will confirm whether CEREC is the right option at your consultation.

Implant-supported crowns are typically made using a different process. If you need a crown on an implant, your dentist will discuss the best approach with you.

Care for a CEREC crown the same way you would a natural tooth: brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, and attend regular check-ups. Avoid biting very hard objects. Your dentist will give you specific aftercare advice.

Ceramic crowns can chip or fracture in rare cases, just as natural teeth can. If this happens, contact the practice, and we’ll assess the damage and discuss your options—which may include repair or replacement.
