Dental check-ups at M Dental Greenwich
A regular dental check-up is the single most valuable appointment you can keep, and at M Dental Greenwich it is the foundation of everything we do. Led by principal dentist Dr Tim Meskhi (GDC 151044), our team on Harrison Walk looks after families and busy professionals from right across SE10 — from Greenwich town centre and Maze Hill to neighbours in Blackheath, Deptford and North Greenwich. We are a short walk from Island Gardens DLR and close to Cutty Sark DLR, so a routine examination fits easily around work, the school run and weekend plans, with flexible appointment times available for those who need them.
Our surgeries are equipped with digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, which means we can show you exactly what we can see and explain any findings on screen. There is no jargon and no pressure — just a clear, honest picture of your oral health and a plan that genuinely suits you.
Understanding your dental check-up options
A check-up — sometimes called a routine dental examination — is a comprehensive assessment of your teeth, gums and the soft tissues of your mouth. It is far more than a quick glance; it is a proper screening that catches small problems before they become painful or expensive. During your visit we may carry out several of the following, depending on what you need:
- Full examination of every tooth for decay, wear, cracks and failing older fillings.
- Gum (periodontal) assessment to check for early gum disease and bleeding.
- Oral cancer screening of the tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth and throat.
- Digital X-rays where needed, to reveal decay and bone levels between and beneath the teeth.
- Bite and jaw check, including any signs of grinding or clenching.
- Tailored advice on brushing, diet and any treatment worth considering.
We recommend most patients are seen every six to twelve months, though we will always suggest an interval that reflects your own risk and history.
Is a dental check-up right for you?
Everyone benefits from regular check-ups — children, nervous patients, busy professionals and people who have not seen a dentist in years alike. You do not need to be in pain to book; in fact, the whole purpose is to stay ahead of trouble. A check-up is especially worthwhile if you have noticed bleeding gums, sensitivity, bad breath or a rough edge, if you are pregnant, or if you are considering cosmetic or orthodontic treatment and want a healthy starting point.
If it has been a long time since your last visit, please do not feel awkward — our Greenwich team welcomes new and returning patients every week and will never judge. Should the examination reveal a problem, we will talk you through every option, from a simple filling or hygienist visit to more involved care, and you decide what happens next.
What to expect at our Greenwich clinic
Your first check-up usually takes around 30 minutes, with follow-up examinations often quicker. We begin by talking through your medical history and any concerns, so we understand what matters to you. Dr Meskhi or one of our dentists then examines your teeth, gums and soft tissues, taking digital X-rays only where they will genuinely add value. Using the intraoral camera, we walk you through anything we find, live on screen.
At the end we give you a straightforward summary and, if any treatment is needed, a written plan with clear prices so there are never any surprises. The examination itself is comfortable and completely non-invasive — there is genuinely nothing to fear. Afterwards you can eat and drink as normal, and we will book your next examination along with any hygienist or treatment appointments to keep everything on track.
Dental check-up prices in Greenwich & spreading the cost
A routine dental check-up at M Dental Greenwich costs £87. That covers the full examination, gum assessment, oral cancer screening and a clear discussion of any findings, with necessary X-rays included where clinically required. It is a small, predictable investment that helps you avoid the far greater cost — in both money and discomfort — of problems left to grow unchecked.
Should your examination lead to further treatment, we offer 0% finance so you can spread the cost of larger work into affordable monthly instalments rather than paying it all at once. Our team will happily explain what is available and help you plan. We believe good dentistry should be accessible, and transparent, upfront pricing is part of how we build lasting trust with patients across SE10.
