# Dental Check-up and Clean at Core Dental Epping

Regular dental check-ups and cleans are the foundation of good oral health. At Core Dental Epping, we recommend visiting every six months - because many dental conditions develop without any pain or visible symptoms until they become serious. Early detection means simpler, less costly treatment.

**What Is Included in a Check-up and Clean?**

Your appointment at Core Dental Epping includes a comprehensive examination, professional scale and clean, and digital X-rays where indicated. Here is what your dentist and hygiene team will assess:

- A thorough examination of all teeth for signs of decay, cracks, and wear
- Assessment of your gums for gingivitis or early-stage gum disease (periodontitis)
- Oral cancer screening - checking soft tissues of the mouth and throat
- Occlusal analysis - how your teeth come together
- Digital X-rays to detect problems not visible to the naked eye
- A professional scale and clean to remove plaque and calculus buildup above and below the gum line
- Polish and fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel

Check-ups and cleans at Core Dental Epping start from $290.

**Why Every Six Months?**

Plaque begins to harden into calculus (tartar) within days. Once calculus forms, it cannot be removed by brushing alone - it requires professional removal. Without regular cleans, calculus accumulates below the gum line, causing inflammation, gum recession, and eventually bone loss.

Most dental decay and gum disease is entirely preventable with twice-yearly professional care combined with good home hygiene.

**No-Gap Check-Up and Clean for New Patients**

New patients with eligible private health insurance may qualify for our no-gap check-up and clean - meaning no out-of-pocket cost for your first comprehensive examination, X-rays, and scale and clean. Ask our team when booking if your health fund is eligible.

**Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) - Bulk Billing for Children**

Children aged 2 to 17 from families receiving eligible Australian Government payments may be covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Core Dental Epping bulk bills eligible children under this scheme, meaning no cost for their check-up and clean. Benefits of up to $1,026 are available over a two-year period.

**Health Fund Rebates with HICAPS**

We have HICAPS on-site at Core Dental Epping, enabling instant health fund rebate processing at the time of your appointment. You only pay the gap, if any - no waiting for reimbursement.

**Early Detection of Decay and Gum Disease**

Our Epping practice is open until 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, making it easy for working parents and busy professionals to schedule their check-up after school or work. Approximately 10 minutes walk from Epping Station.

Our dentists use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to show you exactly what is happening in your mouth. We believe in transparent communication - you will always understand your dental health before any treatment is recommended.

Core Dental Epping is a favourite check-up destination for working parents and commuters from Melbourne's northern suburbs. Near Pacific Epping Shopping Centre and approximately 10 minutes from Epping Station, our extended hours until 6:00 pm mean there is always a convenient slot - whether before work, during lunch, after school pick-up, or on the way home from the station.
