At Magic Smiles, our check up and clean appointments are designed to support your long-term oral health. We combine thorough clinical care with a genuinely warm and unhurried approach.

A dental check up and clean is one of the most important investments you can make in your ongoing oral health.
Many common issues such as early tooth decay, gum disease and cracked teeth develop gradually and without obvious symptoms. By the time discomfort appears, the problem may already require more involved treatment.
Attending a dental check up every six months gives our team the opportunity to identify concerns while they are still straightforward to manage. Early detection of a tooth cavity, for example, can mean a simple filling rather than a more complex restorative procedure later on. We'll also assess your gum health, screen for oral cancer and check for any changes since your previous appointment.
Regular dental check ups are especially important for children, older adults, and anyone managing a health condition that can affect oral health.




During your dental check up, our dentists carefully assess the health of your gums and the surrounding structures. Gum disease begins as gingivitis and can progress to periodontitis if left unaddressed. It is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Because early-stage symptoms are often subtle, routine monitoring is especially valuable.
Tartar removal is a key focus of the clean. Hardened deposits, known as calculus, form in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush. If left unaddressed, these deposits contribute to gum disease and accelerate tooth decay over time.
Our team also checks for signs of tooth cavity formation, worn restorations and changes to existing dental work. If we identify anything that warrants attention, we will discuss your options clearly and without pressure, so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Most adults benefit from a dental check up and clean every six months. Some patients may benefit from more frequent visits, such as those with a history of gum disease, elevated cavity risk, or certain systemic health conditions . Our dentists will recommend a review schedule suited to your individual circumstances.
Most patients find a professional teeth cleaning comfortable. Some mild sensitivity can occur around areas where tartar has built up near the gumline. Our team uses a careful, considered approach and will check in with you throughout the appointment. Please let us know before your visit if you have any concerns.
Many Australian health funds include cover for routine dental check up and clean appointments, either fully or partially, depending on your level of extras cover. We recommend contacting your fund prior to attending. Magic Smiles accepts most major health funds and also offers dental payment plan options to help spread the cost of care.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that forms on teeth throughout the day and can largely be managed with consistent brushing and flossing. When plaque is not adequately removed, it mineralises and hardens into tartar, also called calculus, which can only be removed through professional tartar removal during a dental clean.
Yes, Magic Smiles welcomes patients of all ages, including young children. We recommend an initial visit around the time the first tooth appears. Early check ups help establish positive dental habits, allow our team to monitor development, and give younger patients a relaxed introduction to the dental environment.
