Dental Check-Ups at Cosmodent: What to Expect

No pain, no obvious problem, so is a check-up really necessary? A full evaluation at Cosmodent is a thorough clinical assessment covering the teeth, gums, bite alignment, and oral soft tissues, and it’s built around catching exactly the kind of problems that don’t announce themselves with pain.

• Covers: teeth, gums, bite alignment, and oral soft tissues
• Purpose: the foundation of every personalised treatment plan
• Suitable for: new and existing patients
• Medical aid: Cosmodent bills directly to major schemes wherever possible
• Provided by: Dr André Dumas at Cosmodent, Oude Westhof, Bellville

Yes, and this is exactly why. Early decay and early gum disease often produce no pain or obvious symptoms at all, which is what makes them easy to miss without a professional assessment. By the time something hurts, it’s usually progressed further than it needed to before catching it.

Twice a year is the general guideline, though it can vary depending on your own oral health and risk factors. If it’s been a while since your last visit, or you’ve never been assessed by Dr Dumas before, a full evaluation is the natural place to start, whatever your reason for coming in.

Nothing gets sprung on you. If Dr Dumas finds something during your evaluation, whether it’s early decay, a gum concern, or anything else, it’s explained clearly and discussed with you before any treatment is planned, so you understand exactly what’s going on and what your options are.
