What to expect
from this service.
A comprehensive oral health examination is the most important thing you can do for your dental wellbeing. Our exams go beyond teeth — we assess your gums, jaw, bite, soft tissues, and screen for early signs of oral cancer.
Every new patient receives a comprehensive examination that forms the foundation of their care at Alfredton Dental. We use digital X-rays, intraoral photography, and clinical assessment to build a complete picture of your oral health.
01
The Full Picture
We examine teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and soft tissues — a complete assessment that leaves nothing overlooked.
02
Digital X-Rays
Low-dose digital sensors give us precise diagnostic images with a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-rays.
03
Cancer Screening Included
Every exam includes a systematic soft tissue check for early signs of oral cancer — quick, painless, and potentially life-saving.
04
No Pressure, Full Transparency
We explain every finding in plain language and present all options clearly. You decide what happens next, at your own pace.

FAQs
Common questions
answered.
01How long does a comprehensive exam take?
A full new patient examination typically takes 45–60 minutes. Subsequent recall exams are usually 30–45 minutes including a professional clean.
02Do X-rays hurt?
No. Digital X-rays are quick and painless. We use the smallest necessary sensor and keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
03What does oral cancer screening involve?
We systematically examine all soft tissues inside your mouth — cheeks, tongue, palate, floor of mouth, and throat — looking for any unusual changes. It takes only a few minutes and is included in every exam.
04I haven't been to a dentist in years. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We see many patients who have avoided the dentist for a while. We take a non-judgmental approach and focus on getting your oral health back on track at a pace that suits you.
05Will you give me a treatment plan at the same appointment?
Yes. After your examination we discuss our findings and present a prioritised treatment plan with clear costs. There is no obligation to proceed with anything immediately.
