Dental health check-ups
Routine dental health check-ups play a key role in maintaining good dental health, helping to protect your smile and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
More than just a 'check-up'
A dental health check-up is an important part of maintaining good dental health. During your appointment, our friendly dentists will carefully examine your teeth, gums and mouth, helping to identify any signs of dental problems at an early stage. Your dental health check-up will also include a mouth cancer screening as part of your examination. Regular dental health check-ups can help you maintain a healthy mouth and provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your dental health. Your dentist will recommend how often you should attend based on your individual needs.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! From my very first appointment, Dr Prabhat Gurung made me feel completely at ease, explaining every step of the treatment and making sure I was comfortable throughout. A special thank you also to the dental nurse, Olivia Dale who was incredibly kind, friendly and reassuring. She helped me feel relaxed at every visit and was such an important part of the whole experience. The attention to detail and level of skill are outstanding. My teeth look completely natural, and I finally have the smile I’ve always wanted. I can’t stop smiling, and my confidence has grown so much. Everyone at Durham Smile Clinic has been welcoming, caring and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Prabhat Gurung and the whole team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Thank you all so much!

Another nervous patient here but I cannot thank Mel and the others enough for making me feel so at ease today!! I’m neurodivergent and very anxious - this was no trouble at all and it was so nice not feeling like a burden. Mel talked me through everything, was so so patient with me, understood what I needed and met me where I was instead of pushing me; after bad experiences in the past I feel so much better after today!

Brilliant! Dr Roshan and team were so attentive and listened to all my (complex) needs. He gave me loads of information and advice. He really took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. Best dentist experience I've ever had.
