A caries check, also known as a dental examination or annual check-up, should usually take place at least once a year.
Depending on the number of fillings and caries activity, an x-ray of the teeth should be taken every 2-3 years, as this is the only way to assess whether fillings and crowns are still sealed and what is going on in the interdental spaces
When
A clinical dental examination / annual check-up should usually take place at least once a year. We set the interval for the caries x-ray images together with each patient according to their individual caries risk.
How
When recording the findings, we use various measuring instruments to examine your tooth substance for caries, your gums and bones for deep gum pockets and your oral mucosa for abnormalities.
costs
A basic examination for a new patient usually costs CHF 162.- including 2 caries check-up x-rays.
If a large panoramic X-ray is added for wisdom tooth diagnostics or other surgical questions, this will cost around CHF 180.
