It’s easy to put off a dental check-up, especially when nothing hurts. But early decay, changes in your gums and everyday wear aren’t always things you’ll notice yourself…or feel.
And the truth is, tooth decay is more common than you might think. 32% of Australian adults have untreated decay, while 42% of children aged 5–10 have experienced decay in their baby teeth.¹
Regular check-ups give us the chance to catch things early, and keep small problems small. We’ll take a good look, explain what we find and give you a clear path forward. No lectures, just a fresh start (and a minty smile!).
Best for: Anyone starting fresh with us, those who haven’t had a dental check-up in a while, or patients who need a full picture of their oral health before further treatment.
Start with the whole story. Your Advanced Check-Up includes:
Together, these give us a detailed digital record to compare against at every future visit. It’s the strongest possible start to your relationship with us.

Good dental care is a relationship, built one check-up at a time. Whether it’s been six months or six years, every visit gets the time it actually needs, not a rushed 15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect from your dental check up in Toowong.
No rushing straight into the chair. First, let’s have a chat about your dental history and any concerns you’d like us to check.
We’ll carefully examine your teeth, gums and mouth. Your check-up also includes dental photos, a 3D digital scan and a full-jaw X-ray, helping us see more than we can with the naked eye.
Plaque and hardened tartar is gently removed and your teeth are polished for that crisp, dentist-fresh feeling.
Healthy? Great. Something worth watching? We’ll explain it. If we find an issue that needs treatment, we’ll talk you through what it means and the options available in straightforward language.
Your check-up isn’t about squeezing extra treatment into the same appointment. If further care is recommended, you’ll have time to consider your options, with pricing provided clearly in writing before anything goes ahead.
Just a clear picture of where your oral health stands and what, if anything, comes next.
We like to keep things simple and clear, including when it comes to payment. With on-the-spot health fund claiming and flexible ways to pay, you’ll know your options upfront and can choose what works best for you.
*Subject to provider approval.
A professional teeth clean removes plaque and hardened tartar from areas that can be difficult to reach with brushing and flossing alone. During your dental scale and clean, we'll gently clean around your teeth and gums before polishing your teeth.
At Enamel & Mint, your appointment also includes a thorough check of your teeth, gums and overall oral health, so it's about much more than simply leaving with clean teeth.
For many people, every six months is a good starting point, but there's no one-size-fits-all answer. How often you need a dentist check up and professional clean will depend on your individual oral health, and we'll let you know what we recommend and why.
For most people, a routine clean is straightforward, although you may experience some sensitivity, particularly if your teeth or gums are already sensitive. We'll check in with you throughout your appointment and take things at a pace that's comfortable for you.
