A routine check-up is the single most valuable appointment you can book for your long-term oral health, and it takes far less time than most people expect. At M Dental Canada Water, just moments from Canada Water station, we make check-ups thorough, unhurried and easy to fit around life in SE16.
Why Regular Check-Ups Matter
Most dental problems are silent in their early stages. Small cavities, early gum inflammation and even oral cancers rarely cause pain until they have progressed. A regular examination lets our team catch these issues while they are still cheap and simple to treat, rather than waiting for an emergency. Prevention is always kinder on your teeth, your time and your wallet.
- Spot decay before it reaches the nerve
- Monitor gum health and prevent gum disease
- Screen for oral cancer and other soft-tissue changes
- Keep existing fillings, crowns and implants in good order
What Happens During Your Examination
Your appointment with Dr Tim Meskhi (GDC 151044) or one of our clinicians begins with a friendly conversation about your general health, any concerns and your goals. We then carry out a full assessment of your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues. Where helpful, we take digital X-rays to see between and beneath the teeth. You will leave with a clear, jargon-free explanation of your oral health and a written plan for any treatment you may need.
- Review of medical and dental history
- Examination of teeth, gums and existing restorations
- Oral cancer screening
- Digital X-rays where clinically indicated
- A personalised prevention and treatment plan
Check-Up Fees at M Dental Canada Water
We believe good dentistry should be transparent, so our prices are published up front. A new patient examination is £117, which includes the comprehensive assessment described above. If you are already registered with us, a routine check-up is £87. We will always tell you the cost of any recommended treatment before we begin, and 0% finance is available through Tabeo for larger plans.
Pairing Your Check-Up With Hygiene
A check-up looks after the health of your teeth and gums; a hygiene appointment keeps them clean and fresh. Our dental hygiene visits start from £115 and remove the hardened plaque and staining that brushing alone cannot shift. Many patients in Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays and Bermondsey book the two together so their whole mouth is checked and cleaned in one trip to SE16.
How Often Should You Visit?
For most adults, a check-up every six months strikes the right balance, though some people with excellent oral health can safely extend this and others with gum disease or a high risk of decay benefit from more frequent visits. At the end of each appointment we will recommend a recall interval tailored to you, so you are never guessing when to come back.
Easy to Reach in SE16
M Dental Canada Water is a short walk from Canada Water station, served by both the Jubilee line and the London Overground, making us convenient for patients across Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays and Bermondsey. If Greenwich is easier for you, our sister clinic in SE10 offers exactly the same range of treatments and care.
