A checkup is two visits in one. First, Dr. He examines your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work, screens for oral cancer, and takes digital x-rays only when they’re due. Then a professional cleaning removes the hardened plaque — tartar — that home brushing can’t touch.
Most dental problems are silent until they’re expensive. A small cavity caught at a checkup is a simple filling; the same cavity two years later can mean a root canal and a crown. Six-month visits keep problems small — and most visits boring.
Every six months is the right rhythm for most people — but not everyone. If gums bleed or it’s been years, a deep cleaning may be the reset button before routine care takes over. Here’s how we actually decide with you.
Every appointment covers four bases — and you’ll always know what we found and what it means.
The full picture. Teeth, gums, bite, existing fillings and crowns, plus an oral-cancer screen — explained in plain language, not dental jargon.
Only when due. Low-dose digital x-rays, typically every 12–24 months, catch decay between teeth and under old fillings before it spreads.
The part that feels great. Scaling removes hardened tartar at and just below the gumline, then a polish lifts surface stains.
Options, not pressure. If we find anything, you get choices and a written estimate. Most visits simply end with “see you in six months.”
Without insurance, a routine cleaning in Ontario typically runs $120–$300 depending on how much scaling time you need, and a new-patient exam with x-rays usually lands between $180 and $410. If you have dental benefits, checkups and cleanings are among the best-covered services — and eligible patients may have some or all of the visit covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
You see the exact cost in writing before any treatment begins — no surprises at the front desk.
We help you understand your coverage and submit claims, so you know your real out-of-pocket cost.
Sol Dental Studio accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients.
They sound similar, but they solve different problems — and skipping both has a cost of its own. We’ll tell you honestly at your exam which one your gums actually need.
We look at everything — teeth, gums, bite and any existing dental work — with digital x-rays when they’re due. New patients: arrive ten minutes early with your insurance card.
Gentle scaling removes tartar, then a polish lifts surface stains. Sensitive teeth? Tell us — we’ll adjust the approach, numb the area, or simply slow down.
We show you what we found, what can wait, and what shouldn’t — with a written estimate for anything beyond today’s visit.
The goal of every checkup is a boring one six months later. What moves the needle between visits is simple and unglamorous:

In Oakville, dental checkups generally take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination and cleaning.
Of course, no. Most checkups are comfortable from start to finish. Only some cleaning processes may cause patients very mild and temporary discomfort.
During your exam, the dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite alignment, existing restorations, and overall oral health to identify any signs of disease or damage.
In many cases, a routine checkup is scheduled alongside a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains.
Not always. X-rays are recommended based on your dental history, risk factors, and the dentist’s assessment of your oral health.
It’s never too late to return. Your dentist will perform a thorough examination, assess your oral health, and create a personalized treatment plan to help restore your smile.
