Check-up and cleaning

Dental check-ups and professional hygiene in Lugano

Regular dental check-ups and professional hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Alpine Smiles, we take a preventive and technology-driven approach, allowing us to detect potential issues early and recommend precise, targeted solutions.

Complete clinical assessment

Your comprehensive examination is designed to provide a precise and thorough evaluation of your oral health. It may include:

• A detailed clinical assessment of your teeth and gums
• Two digital bitewing radiographs (when clinically indicated) to assess decay and bone levels
• 3D intraoral scanning using the latest iTero technology
• A complete set of clinical photographs

Using advanced digital tools, we can clearly show you what we observe, explain any findings in detail, and discuss treatment options in a transparent and structured manner.

If treatment is recommended, you will always receive a clear and easy-to-understand estimate before proceeding.

Professional cleaning and prevention

The visit includes professional cleaning focused on:

• Removal of plaque and light to moderate tartar deposits
• Polishing of tooth surfaces
• Personalised oral hygiene guidance

This preventive hygiene session is designed to maintain oral health and reduce the risk of cavities and gum inflammation.

If deeper periodontal treatment (such as subgingival scaling or advanced gum therapy) is clinically required, this will be discussed separately, as it is not included in the standard examination visit.

A continuous prevention program

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reduce inflammation risk, and improve both home and professional maintenance.Our goal is to support long-term oral health through regular monitoring, preventive care, and clear communication.With a gentle and professional approach, we guide each patient toward simpler, more effective oral health management.

Medical records and imaging

Diagnostic imaging (which may include 3D scans, photographs, and radiographs) is carried out as clinically indicated during your examination and treatment planning. Preparation and export of complete medical records or digital files for external transfer may be subject to an administrative processing fee.
