Arrival and welcome
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our friendly team and check in at reception. We'll ask you to complete a brief health history form.
Comprehensive examination
Our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. X-rays may be taken if needed.
Oral cancer screening
We conduct a thorough oral cancer screening, examining your mouth for any lumps, lesions, or abnormalities to ensure early detection and prevention.
Personalised consultation
After the examination, your dentist will discuss any findings and create a personalised treatment plan if any issues are detected. You’ll also receive a complimentary oral hygiene kit to support your at-home dental care.
Life gets busy and its easy to forget about maintaining your oral health, but regular dental check-ups at our practice in Scraptoft are important to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Routine dental check-ups include visual examinations of your teeth, gums and mouth, allowing us to determine how healthy your teeth are and helping us to detect problems at the earliest signs, to address them before they become more serious.

I have been attending TG's in Leicester for many years. Dhru is an excellent dentist. He explains issues clearly so you feel fully involved in the treatment.

Very kind and friendly team. Been a while since my last appointment and they all put me at ease. My Dentist Dhru and Hygienist Helen are very professional and calm which made me feel comfortable. Highly recommended!
Early tooth decay can be difficult to detect, but it can be identified during a comprehensive examination and X-ray, which is why we recommend regular dental check-ups
Early detection of gum disease helps prevent damage to your tooth, which makes it easier and less expensive to treat.
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, causing red, swollen, and bleeding gums. When left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, a type of infection that causes discomfort and difficulty eating, and lead to tooth loss at an advanced stage. We can replace missing teeth with cosmetic dentistry, but the best treatment is to catch gum disease early and prevent the need for cosmetic dental work.
During a regular dental check-up, we’ll sometimes discover tooth decay or a cavity that needs to be treated.
Fillings are a common dental treatment used to seal and repair decaying teeth and prevent further damage, with a local anaesthetic to make sure you don’t feel a thing. Before going ahead with a filling, your dentist will discuss the available filling and material options with you, including the option for white or tooth-coloured fillings so they blend in with the rest of your smile.
Mouth cancer can occur in any part of the mouth and has a higher mortality rate than breast cancer, cervical cancer, or skin melanoma.
It's crucial to detect abnormalities early and prevent late detection with a mouth cancer screening at your dental check-up, which involves a detailed analysis of your oral health history, a thorough examination of your mouth, and a detailed scan for any lumps or lesions.
Our plans are designed for patients who want to attend the practice on a regular basis and have peace of mind that their preventive dental care is covered. Our aim is to provide high-quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. To ensure we maintain the high standards our patients have come to expect it is becoming increasingly important for us to accurately match the number and the needs of our patients to the resources we have available.

Preventative treatment is better than reactive treatment, so it’s important that you have regular dental check-ups every 6 - 12 months, as these help us to keep on top of your oral health and hygiene, detect problems at the earliest signs, and perform dental treatments to address them before they become more serious.
Routine dental check-ups include visual examinations of your teeth, gums and mouth and allow us to determine how healthy your teeth are. X-rays and digital photographs may be taken during a routine check-up for us to be able to assess your overall dental health.
Much like a regular check-up, it’s a good idea to have a dental hygiene appointment every 6 - 12 months to maintain optimal teeth and gum health, take care of any plaque and bacteria build-up, and reduce the risk of tooth decay and tooth infections.
Our experienced dental hygienist will start by assessing your gum health and checking for any build-up of plaque and early warning signs of gum disease. They’ll then perform a thorough clean and scale to remove plaque and finish with a polish to make sure you leave with sparkly teeth and healthy gums.
Dental hygiene treatments are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums because they help to prevent the accumulation of plaque and bacteria, reducing the risk of infections and tooth decay.
Like dental check-ups, it’s important to schedule routine hygienist appointments to ensure optimal oral health and maintain fresh breath.
