What's Included in Your Check up?
A comprehensive 4-step examination that leaves nothing to chance.
Medical History Review
We begin every check up by reviewing your medical history and discussing any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing
Why your medical history matters
Many general health conditions have a direct impact on your oral health. Diabetes, heart disease, certain medications, and even pregnancy can all affect your teeth and gums. By keeping your medical history up to date, we can tailor our examination and treatment recommendations to your individual circumstances, ensuring the safest and most effective care.
Understanding your concerns
Before we begin the clinical examination, your dentist will take the time to listen to any specific concerns you have — whether it's sensitivity, bleeding gums, cosmetic worries, or simply wanting reassurance that everything is healthy. This conversation guides the focus of the examination and ensures nothing is overlooked.
Comprehensive Oral Examination
A thorough clinical examination of your teeth, gums, tongue, soft tissues, jaw joints and bite
What we check
Our dental check up goes far beyond simply looking for cavities. We perform a systematic examination that covers every aspect of your oral health.
-
Every tooth surface — checking for decay, cracks, wear, and existing restoration integrity
-
Gum health — probing for pockets, checking for bleeding, recession, and signs of periodontal disease
-
Oral cancer screening — systematic examination of tongue, floor of mouth, cheeks, palate, and throat
-
Jaw joint (TMJ) assessment — checking for clicking, pain, or restricted movement
-
Bite analysis — identifying any issues with how your teeth meet that could cause wear or discomfort
-
Existing dental work — assessing the condition of any fillings, crowns, bridges, or implants
Communication in English
All our dentists are fluent in English and will explain their findings clearly and thoroughly. We believe in transparent communication — you'll understand exactly what's happening with your oral health and why we're making specific recommendations. No jargon, no rush, and always time for your questions.
Digital X-Rays & Imaging
Low-radiation digital X-rays reveal what's hidden beneath the surface — early decay, bone loss, infections, and more
Why X-rays are essential
Many dental problems are invisible to the naked eye. Decay between teeth, infections at the root tip, bone loss around teeth, and even cysts can all develop silently without symptoms. Digital X-rays allow us to detect these issues early — when treatment is simpler, less invasive, and more affordable. Our digital X-ray system uses up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Types of X-rays we use
Depending on what's needed, we may take small intraoral X-rays that show individual teeth in detail, or a panoramic X-ray (OPG) that shows your entire jaw, all teeth, sinuses, and jaw joints in a single image. For complex cases, we also have access to 3D CBCT scanning, which provides detailed three-dimensional views essential for implant planning, wisdom tooth assessment, and complex root canal cases.
Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
We discuss our findings openly, show you images and X-rays, and create a personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing
Visual explanation of findings
We show you your X-rays and intraoral photographs on a large screen, pointing out any areas of concern and explaining what they mean in plain language. Many patients tell us they've never had a dentist take the time to show them what's actually going on in their mouth — this transparency is central to our philosophy at R&H Dental.
Prioritised treatment recommendations
If treatment is needed, we'll present a clear, prioritised plan. We categorise recommendations by urgency — what needs attention now, what should be monitored, and what's optional or cosmetic. Each recommendation comes with a transparent price, and we'll discuss financing options if the plan involves significant investment. You're never pressured — the decision is always yours.

Dental Check Up FAQ's
Common questions about a dental examination in Marbella
A proper dental check-up is designed to look for problems before they become larger, more expensive, and more uncomfortable to treat. We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues, and if needed we also use X-rays to check what cannot be seen directly, such as decay between the teeth or issues around the roots.
Most dental problems do not start with pain. Cavities, gum disease, cracks, and even some infections can progress quietly before becoming obvious, so regular dental check up Marbella patients who attend on time often save them from needing much more invasive treatment later on.
For many people, the basic minimum is every 6 months. However, how often you need X-rays or more frequent reviews depends on your decay rate, gum health, habits, and general risk profile, so the interval is not identical for every patient.
They can, when they are clinically needed. All X-rays are free for a first check-up for patients who intend to carry out treatment at our clinic, while X-rays for second opinions or copies taken out of the clinic are charged separately.
No. At our clinic, a dental examination Marbella patients book for diagnosis and prevention is a separate appointment from a hygiene cleaning. If you would also like a cleaning, we can arrange that with the hygienist before or after your check-up.
Yes, a proper dental check-up includes checking the soft tissues of the mouth as part of the examination. That is important because early detection always gives the best chance of dealing with problems promptly and effectively.
Yes. One of the main reasons dental check up Marbella appointments matter is that they help us pick up cavities, gum problems, failing fillings, cracks, or bone changes before they turn into bigger issues. Some of these problems are not obvious to patients until they are already quite advanced.
Our check-up page lists the usual appointment length as around 30–40 minutes. That gives enough time for a proper examination, discussion of any findings, and clear advice about the next steps if treatment is needed.
That is very common, and it is something we take seriously. If you feel anxious, tell us in advance and we will guide you through the appointment clearly and calmly so you know exactly what is happening and nothing feels rushed or unpredictable.
Yes. Baby teeth still matter because they help maintain the correct spaces for the adult teeth and support healthy development. Regular reviews allow us to monitor decay, hygiene, bite development, and any early issues that could affect the permanent dentition later on.
That is absolutely fine. We can still assess the situation and explain what we see clearly, but our page notes that X-rays are charged for second-opinion consultations or if you want copies taken away from the clinic.
Our current pricing shows children’s check-ups from 40€ and adult check-ups at 60€. X-rays for a first check-up are free when you intend to carry out treatment at our clinic, which helps make the first dental examination Marbella patients book more straightforward and transparent.
We explain the diagnosis clearly, tell you what is urgent and what can wait, and give you a treatment plan so you understand your options. The aim is not to overwhelm you, but to help you make informed decisions before small issues become larger ones.
No. We are also looking at gum health, bite wear, soft tissue health, old dental work, signs of grinding, and any other early warning signs that could affect your oral health in the future. A thorough dental check-up approach should always be broader than just asking whether there is a cavity.
Yes, very often they do. Finding a problem early usually means a simpler, cheaper solution than waiting until there is pain, infection, or structural damage. In that sense, regular check-ups are one of the most cost-effective parts of dental care.
