Here at Dental Facial Artisan in Worsley, we take pride in offering high-quality dental services to all our valued patients. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is committed to delivering exceptional care whilst prioritising your comfort and oral health.

We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy smile, so we are pleased to introduce our comprehensive oral health examination and oral hygiene services.

During Your Oral Health Examination:

Take a proactive approach to dental care, and its impact on general health and well-being, which is why our skilled dentists thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and all oral structures. Our dentists use state-of-the-art technology and expertise to identify underlying dental issues and develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

We believe prevention is key to long-term oral health. Regular check-ups at Dental Facial Artisan will ensure any potential problems are detected early, allowing for early prevention and rectification before more significant damage. This approach helps mitigate the need for more complex treatment.

During Your Dental Full Mouth Exam
Our Dentists Will:

Perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums

We will carefully evaluate each tooth, checking for signs of decay, fractures or other damage. Our dentists will also assess the health of your gums, looking for any signs of inflammation or periodontal disease.

Examine your Jaw Joints

Our team will assess the functioning of your jaw and check your bite. We will assess you for signs and symptoms of clenching and grinding. This can cause wear to your teeth and increase the risk of tooth fractures, headaches or facial and neck pain.

Conduct an oral cancer screen

We believe in proactive healthcare, so our dentists will perform an oral cancer screen during your examination. Early detection is critical to successfully treating oral cancer and our team is dedicated to ensuring your overall well-being.

Take digital x-rays and/or photographs

Our team may take digital X-rays to obtain a complete picture of your oral health. These advanced imaging techniques allow us to detect potential issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as hidden cavities, impacted teeth or bone loss due to gum disease. Photographs and x-rays also allow us to show you areas of concern and help you understand what is happening in your mouth.

Take a digital scan

At Dental Facial Artisan we use an iTero® scanner which is a cutting- edge intraoral scanner that allow us to take high-definition 3D scans of your teeth. This is a great tool to allow you to visualise how your teeth are aligned, any cavities present, how your restorations look, any weak or heavily filled teeth and your bite. This scanner works hand in hand with Align Technologies' Invisalign® system which enables our team to show you a 3D simulation of what can be achieved, and if you would benefit from Invisalign® treatment.

Discuss your dental history and concerns

We value open communication with our patients. Our dentists will take the time to listen to your dental history, any concerns you may have, and answer any questions you might have. Your comfort and peace of mind is our top priority.
