Porcelain Veneers
A thin porcelain leaf bonded to the visible face of a front tooth. For colour, shape and small gaps; it touches far less healthy tooth than a crown.
DetailsA check-up is the one appointment you make before anything hurts. The dentist assesses teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues one by one; for areas between teeth and under old fillings that cannot be seen, a digital X-ray is taken when needed.
What happens
- Intraoral examination and gum pocket measurement
- Digital panoramic or periapical X-ray if needed
- Comparison with previous records
- A written summary of the day and, if there is one, a discussion of the plan
An X-ray is not routine at every visit; the date of the previous image and the findings decide.
Why six months
Early decay and gum disease do not hurt. A six-month interval catches most problems at the stage where a small procedure is enough. If the risk is high, the interval is shortened.

After treatment
There are no restrictions after a check-up. The next date is given at the appointment, according to the findings.
