Routine dental examinationsin Congleton and Macclesfield
Your first step to a healthier, long-lasting smile starts here.
Something's not rightwith your teeth?
You brush, you floss, but occasionally it is not satisfactory. Maybe you’ve encountered a premature sensitivity or started to dodge a certain tooth when eating. Or perhaps all seems okay, but you just want to be sure. A routine dental examination is all about catching those tiny, frequently imperceptible problems before they become something major.
At Moody Terrace Dental Practice, your dental check-up does more than the bare minimum. It’s a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.


What makes our dental check-ups different?
- Comprehensive health assessment
We don’t just look at your teeth. From your medical history to current concerns, we build a full picture of your oral health.
- Thorough examination
Including your jaw, neck, and oral tissues, we go deeper to catch changes that aren’t always visible.
- Cutting-Edge diagnostics
If required, we’ll use digital X-rays to detect issues hidden beneath the surface.
- Personalised guidance
Take away with a clear idea of where you are, what’s working, and what to do next if there is something that needs to be addressed. No pressure, no jargon.

What do you experienceat your dental check-up?
Your visit has five simple steps:
1. Begin with a chat
We’ll start with a complimentary non-clinical consultation with our treatment co-ordinator – chatting with you about your overall health, any developments you’ve experienced, and what’s been preoccupying you.
2. External and internal check
Once you have been paired with the appropriate dentist for you, we will assess your jaw, neck, and the soft tissues of your mouth before moving on to your teeth and gums.
3. X-rays when needed
If something isn’t visible during the exam, we may take digital X-rays to ensure nothing goes undetected.
4. Feedback tailored to you
We will tell you about all that we have seen and respond to all your questions, ensuring you are fully informed.
5. Plan for the future
If any treatment is required, we’ll explain these to you so that you can make your own decision in your own time. Our treatment co-ordinator is here for you throughout, don’t hesitate to request a chat if needed.

Great service as usual
Jenny Trotter
The hygienist I saw was quite formidable but delightful when I found out that she had a problem with cakes and sweet things, she melted when I said wonderful sugar kept her and probably the entire profession in work😉! 10/10.
Excellent treatment by Adam. Always thorough, very gentle and explains results carefully.
Thanks to all.
Sally took the time to explain things to me and addressed the things that made me anxious, resulting in a positive experience.
They are a credit to the team and I would recommend Sally if you do have anxieties around your dental visits, she is amazing!

From the second you arrive at reception you are made welcome, everyone is kind, friendly and supportive, the little touch of someone coming down to reception to meet you and walk you to the consultation room means that you are already quite relaxed with the chat on the way. Throughout my many consultations I never felt rushed or hurried, a very relaxing and chatty experience every time. Adam and later Tom and Robin explained the various processes, offered alternatives and ideas I had not thought of at all. Detailed reports, charts, xrays etc appear in my inbox before I'm even back home, all of which explain everything succinctly.
Well done to the whole team, 10/10, I could not wish for better
I was there for a routine check up but the dentist found time to investigate an ear difficulty that may be caused by my teeth or jaw. He was thorough, knowledgeable and unhurried in his checks. He referred me on, and the practice gave me a very prompt follow on appointment with the appropriate expert.
The dental hygienist was gentle and took on board my preferred way of removing plaque, ie not drowning my mouth and throat with water. Excellent treatment.
Would recommend you to register here if your looking for a Professional team to take care of your dental needs.
Before I attended the practice, I was contacted by phone with a supporting E mail, to explain how Moody Terrace Dental Practice intended to keep their patients and themselves safe, relating to the Corona19 pandemic.
When I arrived for my appointment, I followed the protocol required of me, which was all very dignified, I felt very safe.
My extraction went well, thank you Adam for your care and professonism. 🦷
Highly recommend - sedation his speciality !

Private patient, was given an appointment 2 hrs after calling, crown refitted, xrays taken and toothache checked all in half an hour. Cait a very professional and knowledgeable dentist took the time to explain in detail what happening in a very calm and reassuring atmosphere... Less expensive than I imagined and worth every penny.
Would recommend
Thank you.
A pay scheme would be helpful for costly appointments.

Routine dental exam FAQS
It depends on how things are looking. Some people do well with yearly visits, others might need to come in every 6 months. If there’s been past trouble with gums or decay, we’ll usually suggest a bit more regular follow-up.
Not necessarily. Check-ups and hygienic appointments are distinct, but we’ll suggest one if we see indications of plaque buildup, gum sensitivity, or any other concerns that would be helped by a professional cleaning.
We’re always clear on the cost of teeth examination. Call us on 01260 272657 prior to booking and we’ll give you pricing information along with any extra charges for X-rays or other procedures that may be required.
No, unless we need to further investigate. We usually use naked-eye observation but will recommend an X-ray if it assists in the diagnosis of underlying conditions or the follow-up of existing dental conditions.
