A private dental check-up is a comprehensive examination that assesses the health of the teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite, jaw joints and existing restorations, including oral cancer screening and decay diagnosis with digital X-rays where clinically indicated. It is recommended every 6 months for most adults, or more frequently for higher-risk patients such as smokers or those with a history of gum disease. At Tower Dental Blackpool, every new-patient examination is carried out by a GDC-registered dentist. Your £79 examination includes any X-rays you need, and you leave with a written summary of what we found and what we'd suggest — if anything.
Every healthy smile begins with a thorough examination.
This concentration of postgraduate expertise is available at our Blackpool practice — and it directly benefits every patient who attends Tower Dental, whether they are coming for a routine examination, composite bonding, dental implants or emergency treatment. The clinical decisions made at Tower Dental are informed by a strong evidence base. The materials chosen are selected carefully for each clinical situation. The time allocated to each patient is determined by what the case requires, not by the constraints of an NHS appointment schedule.
The philosophy at Tower Dental is simple: every clinical decision is made in the patient's best long-term interest, not in the interest of generating the highest possible revenue per appointment. This means we tell patients honestly when treatment is not needed. We tell them when a less expensive option will achieve the same outcome as a more expensive one. We tell them when their case falls outside the scope of what we can most appropriately treat in-house and refer them to the right specialist. We tell them what the realistic outcomes of treatment are, including the limitations and the need for ongoing maintenance, rather than overselling results.
This honesty is important to us and it is the foundation of the trust our patients place in us. The 5-star patient reviews on Google behind Tower Dental's consistently mention the team's honesty, the lack of pressure, the quality of the clinical explanations and the genuine care shown throughout the patient journey. Patients from across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancashire continue to return to Tower Dental and to refer their family and friends — not because of marketing or special offers, but because the clinical and human experience at Tower Dental is genuinely patient-focused.

"What a friendly dental service, I am so very nervous attending the dentist even for a check up, but today was my first treatment I couldn't have asked for better care, it was as relaxing as it could be and the whole experience was explained in step by step, with empathy i wouldnt say I was over my fear but definitely not as worked up as I normally would be. I would recommend to everyone"
