Why Regular Dental Check-Ups Are Essential
Benefits of regular check-ups:
- Early diagnosis: Detect cavities, gum inflammation, and cracks before they cause pain.
- Prevent costly treatments: Timely care means simpler, more affordable solutions.
- Fresher breath and healthier gums: Professional cleaning removes plaque and bacteria buildup.
- Natural smile preservation: Prevent wear and maintain natural enamel.
- Overall health protection: Poor oral health has been linked to heart and systemic conditions — prevention truly matters.
Next-Generation Check-Ups with iTero™ Digital Scanning
At 44 Dental Care, your dental check-up isn’t just visual — it’s digital.
We use the advanced iTero™ 3D Scanner to capture ultra-precise images of your teeth and gums.
Why patients love iTero scanning:
- No messy moulds: Say goodbye to traditional impressions.
- Instant 3D visualisation: See a live digital model of your mouth on screen.
- More accurate diagnosis: We detect wear, cracks, and alignment changes early.
- Track your smile over time: Compare scans between visits to monitor your oral health.
- Foundation for advanced treatments: iTero scans integrate seamlessly with Invisalign®, crowns, and veneers for precise results.
This modern, patient-friendly technology makes your check-up faster, cleaner, and more comfortable — setting us apart as one of Leicester’s most advanced dental practices.
