For Brisbane patients who attend Sure Dental every six months, the appointment follows a consistent structure. The oral health therapist completes the hygiene work first, and Dr Michael Ghobrial then performs a detailed examination, comparing current findings against previous records and radiographs to monitor any changes over time.
How a six monthly visit is structured
Each appointment is designed to be careful, unhurried, and tailored to what the patient needs on the day.
Hygiene with airflow cleaning
The oral health therapist removes surface stains and tartar build up using airflow, a gentle technique that lifts deposits from the tooth surface and around the gumline. Removing this build up helps reduce the inflammation that can lead to gum disease.
Thorough examination by the dentist
Once the teeth are clean, Dr Michael Ghobrial completes a thorough examination of the teeth, gums, and soft tissues. Existing fillings and restorations are checked, and any early signs of decay or wear are noted.
Monitoring with previous records
For regular patients, previous radiographs and clinical records are reviewed alongside the current findings. This allows changes to be picked up early, supports a conservative approach to treatment, and reduces the likelihood of unexpected dental emergencies.
Ongoing care planning
If anything requires attention, the patient is talked through the findings and the available options before any further general dentistry treatment is planned.
