Check-up and preventive care
The examination, a conversation about what we find, and a plan if anything needs doing.
Family dentistryCheck-up and cleaning
Cuci gigi · 洗牙. The visit that keeps every other visit small.
A check-up at Ooi Dental is an examination and a conversation, usually with scaling and polishing. For most people every six months is enough. Walk-in patients are usually seen within 30 minutes, and children are welcome from six months old.
Why it matters
Decay and gum disease do not hurt until they are advanced. A check-up finds them while a small filling or a cleaning is all that is needed. Scaling removes the hardened plaque that brushing cannot, which is what keeps gums from receding.
Your options at Ooi Dental
Scaling and gum care
Removing the hardened tartar above and below the gum line, then polishing away surface stain. This is what keeps gums healthy long term.

Family dentistryWhat happens when you come in
Every case at Ooi Dental follows the same five steps: a consultation with a digital assessment, a conversation about what is bothering you and what you want, a personalised treatment plan, treatment carried out with modern technology, and ongoing maintenance afterwards.
If you are in pain today, emergencies are attended to immediately during opening hours. Walk-in patients are usually seen within 30 minutes. Ooi Dental does not publish treatment fees. You will be told the cost of your plan before anything starts, and you decide from there.
Common questions
For most people every six months. If you have gum disease, braces or a history of decay, we may suggest more often.
It depends on your gums. Your dentist tells you at the visit how often you should be seen, rather than putting everyone on the same interval.
Walk-ins are welcome and usually seen within 30 minutes. Booking on WhatsApp guarantees your time.
