- Dental ExaminationOral Examination: A comprehensive assessment of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
- X-raysDental x-rays allow dentists to detect problems that are not visible during a regular oral examination. They also help in diagnosing and treating dental issues at an early stage, which can save you time, money, and discomfort. For example, x-rays can identify early signs of decay, issues below the gum line, impacted teeth, and even some types of tumours.

- Teeth CleaningTeeth Cleaning: Removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and along the gum line, followed by polishing to remove surface stains.
