Maybe it's been a couple of years since your last check-up, and you're not sure what the dentist will find. Or your gums have started to bleed, and weekday appointments never seem to fit around work. A check-up and clean in Bannockburn VIC is a simple place to start: a dentist checks your teeth and gums, then does your clean as well. It's the usual first step for care at our Bannockburn dental clinic, and you don't need to drive to Geelong for it.
When You Need a Check-Up and Clean
Book a check-up and clean if:
- you can't remember when your last check-up was;
- your gums bleed when you brush or floss, or look red or puffy;
- your breath stays stale even after brushing;
- you can feel hard build-up near the gum line, or see stains from tea, coffee or smoking;
- a tooth has started to twinge with cold or sweet food.
Plaque left on teeth hardens into tartar, which a toothbrush can't remove, and tartar can irritate the gums. Early decay often doesn't hurt, and healthdirect explains how tooth decay starts. Many dental problems are simpler to treat when they're found early. If your gums keep bleeding, it's a good idea to have them checked soon, and your dentist can tell you if you need treatment for gums that keep bleeding. Call and we'll find the earliest suitable time.
Our Check-Up and Clean Process
Your visit includes an exam, a scale and clean, and fluoride, with X-rays when they're needed. Here's what happens:
- Talk. Your dentist asks about your general health, any medicines and anything that's bothering you.
- Check. Your teeth, gums, tongue and cheeks are checked, along with any fillings or crowns. X-rays are used only when your dentist needs to see between teeth or under the gum.
- Clean. A dentist scales away tartar, cleans and polishes your teeth, and applies fluoride. Gums can feel tender, or teeth a little sensitive, for a short time afterwards.
- Plan. We explain what we found, your options and the fee for each before any treatment starts.
If decay is found, we'll talk you through repairing decay with a white filling. A clean won't change your teeth's natural colour. For that, ask about whitening for stains a clean can't shift, which can cause short-term sensitivity. Check-ups are usually every six months, and your dentist will suggest what suits you.
Check-Up and Clean Cost in Bannockburn
The cost of a check-up and clean depends on whether it's your first visit with us, whether you need X-rays and how many, and your health fund cover.

We also accept DVA Gold and White Cards, and bulk bill eligible children under CDBS. Read more about paying with HICAPS and your health fund.

Common Questions About Check-Ups and Cleans in Bannockburn
You'll find more questions about check-ups and cleans on our FAQ page.
What happens during a check-up and clean in Bannockburn?
During a check-up and clean in Bannockburn, a dentist checks your teeth, gums and mouth, uses X-rays only when they're useful, and then scales and polishes your teeth. Before any further treatment, we explain what we found and what each option costs. If it's your first visit, our new patient information before you book explains what to bring and how to get ready.
How often should I have a check-up and clean?
How often you need a check-up and clean depends on your teeth, your gums and your general health, but check-ups are usually every six months. Your dentist will suggest when to come back, and people with gum problems may need to come more often. If your gums bleed, read about how gum disease is treated. You can book your next visit online or by calling (03) 4217 3810.
Will I need X-rays at my Bannockburn check-up?
You won't always need X-rays at a Bannockburn check-up. They're taken only when your dentist needs to see something that can't be seen by looking, such as decay between teeth or under an old filling. Dental X-rays use a low dose of radiation, so tell us if you're pregnant, and they add to the cost of the visit. They can show early decay that may need fillings for decay found between teeth.
What will I pay for a check-up and clean in Bannockburn?
What you pay for a check-up and clean in Bannockburn depends on whether you're a new patient, whether you need X-rays, and your health fund. We explain the fee before we start, and we claim on the spot with HICAPS for all health funds. We also accept DVA Gold and White Cards, and bulk bill children who are eligible for CDBS. See health fund rebates for a check-up.
