At Melbourne Dental Family Care in Vermont, we believe dentistry should begin with prevention, not treatment.
A regular dental check up and clean is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your long term oral health. It keeps small problems manageable. It reduces the chance of sudden pain. In many cases, it prevents the need for complex or expensive procedures later.
Many dental conditions do not cause discomfort in their early stages. Tooth decay can develop quietly. Gum disease often progresses without obvious warning signs. Even cracks in teeth can remain unnoticed until they worsen.
A professional examination allows us to detect concerns early, when they are easier and more conservative to treat.
Preventive care reduces the likelihood of needing deep fillings, root canal therapy, gum surgery or tooth replacement.
While Dr Sin Ting Chui has extensive experience in crowns, veneers, bridges and root canal treatment, her philosophy is simple.
The best dentistry is the dentistry you do not need.
At Melbourne Dental Family Care, appointments are never rushed. We take the time to understand your dental history, any concerns you may have, and what you would like to improve.
Comprehensive Examination
Your check up includes:
Assessment for tooth decay, fractures or enamel wear
Evaluation of gum health and early gum disease screening
Examination of existing fillings, crowns or bridges
Bite and jaw alignment assessment
Oral cancer screening
If clinically necessary, digital X rays are taken to detect issues between teeth or beneath existing restorations.
Dr Sin Ting Chui carefully reviews all findings and explains them clearly. We believe patients should always understand what is happening in their own mouth.
Professional Scale and Clean
Even with consistent brushing, tartar can accumulate in areas that are difficult to reach at home.
Your professional cleaning includes:
Removal of hardened tartar
Gentle plaque removal along the gumline
Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces
Removal of surface stains
Regular cleaning supports healthy gums and helps reduce the risk of periodontal disease.
