What happens at a dental check-up at Tudor House Dental?

Check-ups at Tudor House Dental are designed to be longer and more thorough, starting with a conversation about your concerns, goals and medical history. Your dentist then performs a structured oral health assessment, checking your teeth, gums and mouth, reviewing any X-rays that are required and explaining findings in plain English on-screen. The visit ends with clear preventive advice and, if needed, a written treatment plan so you know the next steps and costs.

How much is a dental check-up and are X-rays included?

The published fee list shows that a new patient consultation, including two X-rays, is £55, a routine adult examination is £50, a child examination is £31 and radiographs are £15 each. New patient exams include any necessary X-rays as part of the appointment, while routine patients only pay for radiographs if they are required.

How often should I come for a dental check-up?

The dental check-up page explains that most patients are advised to attend every 6 to 12 months, depending on their current dental condition and risk factors. If you are being monitored for gum disease, sensitivity, orthodontic treatment or a particular problem tooth, your dentist may recommend shorter intervals for a period of time.

Do children’s dental check-ups cost anything?

As a family-run practice, Tudor House Dental notes that children under 18 are seen on the NHS where eligible, which means their routine check-ups are normally free at the point of care. The team is happy to coordinate combined or back-to-back family appointments so adults and children can be seen together in a single visit.

What makes your check-ups different?

The practice emphasises that its check-ups are deliberately unhurried, giving time to listen to worries, explain findings clearly, focus on prevention and plan any treatment efficiently. This approach is designed to spot tiny problems early and reduce the need for more invasive and costly work in the future, aligning with the practice’s core philosophy of prevention-first dentistry.

Are you accepting new patients for check-ups?

Yes. The dental check-up page invites new patients to register and book a New Patient Exam, which includes photos, X-rays where necessary and a written treatment plan. You can register as a new patient using the online links or by calling reception, and the team can also arrange combined family check-ups for convenience.

I am nervous about visiting the dentist. Can you help?

The practice specifically addresses nervous visitors, encouraging them to mention any worries in advance. Extra time can be built into check-ups, and your dentist can agree simple hand signals so you can pause whenever you need to. Many reviews highlight that the team is friendly, gentle and reassuring, helping anxious patients feel more at ease before and during their appointments.

Can I choose which dentist I see for my check-up?

Yes. The page includes a “Choose your dentist” section introducing the clinical team. Patients can request to see Principal Dentists Dr Disha Gupta or Dr Mili Mohan for general and family dentistry, or one of the associate dentists if they prefer, allowing for continuity of care with a clinician they know and trust.

What happens at my first dental check-up as a new patient?

At your first visit you will receive a warm welcome, followed by a relaxed discussion about your dental history, goals and any concerns. Your dentist will then carry out a comprehensive check-up, often including photographs and X-rays, before explaining your oral health in detail. If any treatment is recommended, you will receive a written plan with clear costs and options, and follow-up visits can be scheduled at times that suit you.

Do you offer family and combined appointments for check-ups?

Yes. As a family-focused practice, Tudor House Dental offers combined or back-to-back appointments so that parents and children can be seen together on the same day. This makes scheduling easier and allows the team to provide joined-up preventive advice covering braces, mouthguards, fluoride, diet and home care for the whole family.

When are you open for dental check-ups and where are you located?

The practice is open Monday to Friday, typically from 8:30 am to 5 pm on most days, with late opening until 7 pm on Wednesdays and a shorter day on Fridays. Tudor House Dental is located at 62 High Street, Tarvin, Chester, CH3 8JB, around 15 minutes from Chester city centre, with easy local parking and step-free access into reception.

How can I book a dental check-up at Tudor House Dental?

You can book a check-up by using the “Book Online” links on the dental check-up page, calling the practice on 01829 741284 or contacting the team via email at care@tudorhousedentalsurgery.co.uk. New patients can register and arrange their first examination online, while existing patients can easily schedule routine check-ups and family appointments by phone or through the online portal.

Tudor House Dental is a privately owned, independent dental practice that offers patients consistent care. You’ll see the same dentists, nurses, and reception team, who remember the small, yet important details and know you by name.

Our longer check-ups are deliberately unhurried, so our patients never feel rushed or like a number. This allows you to spot tiny issues early on and helps prevent more costly, larger work down the line. For us, prevention isn’t just part of the process; it’s one of our core values.

Register as a new patient or book a check-up online. We’re open Monday through Friday (late evening appointments available).

“The whole team were so friendly and gentle with my shy 3-year-old and baby on their first visit to the dentist. They went above and beyond to make everybody feel calm and well looked after. Many thanks ☺️”

Visiting us for the first time

Why longer appointments matter

Time to listen - we start with your worries (discomfort, sensitivity, appearance)
Time to explain - images on-screen, plain English, no jargon
Time to prevent - tiny tweaks to brushing and diet that reduce future costs
Time to plan - if treatment helps, we schedule efficiently and offer 0% finance on eligible care

How often should I come?

Dental check-ups are recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on your current dental condition. Sometimes, when we’re monitoring you for gum disease, sensitivity, orthodontics or a particular problem tooth, then we might see you a little sooner for a short period.

Nervous about visiting?

Tell us. We build in extra time, agree on hand signals for breaks, and proceed step by step. Many first-time visitors always comment on how friendly our staff are – and how they help them make them feel more at ease ahead of their appointment. Speak to a receptionist.
