Check-ups & Cleans Bondi Junction
Proactive Dental Care for a Healthier Smile
Routine dental check-ups and professional cleans form the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. At Better Smiles Bondi Junction, we take a preventive, personalised approach — helping you stay ahead of dental issues before they become more complex.
Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last visit, our experienced team is here to provide gentle, thorough care in a calm and supportive environment.
Early intervention not only protects your teeth and gums but can help reduce the need for more complex treatment in the future.
Why Regular Check-ups Matter
- Detect decay, gum disease, or wear early
- Monitor existing fillings, crowns or restorations
- Screen for oral cancer and soft tissue concerns
- Track changes in your bite, jaw joints, or enamel
- Offer guidance to improve home care routines
What’s Included in a Check-up & Clean
Comprehensive Examination
We check each tooth, your gums, jaw joints, and soft tissues for signs of inflammation, damage, or change. We may also take digital X-rays to assess areas not visible to the eye, such as between teeth or under restorations.
Professional Cleaning
A scale and polish removes plaque, tartar and superficial stains that brushing alone can’t reach. This helps reduce the risk of gum disease and freshens your smile.
Gum Health Assessment
Your gum pockets are measured to detect early signs of gingivitis or periodontitis. We’ll guide you on how to care for your gums at home based on your individual needs.
Fluoride Treatment (if appropriate)
A high-concentration fluoride application may be recommended to strengthen enamel and help protect against cavities.
Personalised Prevention
Provide tailored advice on brushing, flossing, and nutrition
Outline any recommended next steps — clearly and without pressure
How Often Should I Visit?
Most patients benefit from a check-up and clean every 6 months. However, some may need more frequent care — particularly those with gum disease, high cavity risk, or existing restorations.
We’ll always tailor our recommendations based on your individual risk factors and oral health history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people benefit from a dental check-up and professional clean every six months. However, some patients may require more frequent visits depending on their oral health, history of gum disease, or risk factors such as smoking or diabetes. Your dentist will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are hard to reach. A professional clean removes this build-up and helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. It also gives your dentist a chance to monitor for early signs of any concerns.
No. X-rays are used selectively based on your individual risk and clinical findings. They help detect problems such as decay between teeth, infection, or bone loss — issues that may not be visible during a visual examination. Your dentist will explain if and why X-rays are needed.
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum inflammation or early gum disease (gingivitis). This is often caused by plaque build-up along the gumline. A professional clean helps reduce inflammation, and your dentist or hygienist will guide you on improving your brushing and flossing technique to manage it long-term.
Most patients find the process comfortable. You may feel some mild sensitivity, especially if there’s inflammation or tartar under the gums. We use gentle techniques and can tailor your care if you have concerns about sensitivity or discomfort.
Yes. In fact, maintaining good oral health during pregnancy is important. Hormonal changes can increase the risk of gum inflammation, so regular dental visits are encouraged. Let us know if you're pregnant so we can tailor your care appropriately.
