Dental Exams & Cleanings in Ottawa
Regular exams and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile — and for most CDCP patients they cost $0 out of pocket.
A dental checkup at Ledbury Dental is never rushed. Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar with modern ultrasonic scaling, polishes away surface stains, and checks your gums for early signs of disease. Your dentist then reviews digital X-rays, screens for oral cancer, and talks through anything they see — in plain language, never jargon.
We recommend a checkup and cleaning every six months for most patients. If it has been a while, that is completely okay — there is no lecture here, just a fresh start. New patients receive a comprehensive first-visit exam that maps out your whole mouth so nothing gets missed.
Because prevention is the single best way to avoid costly treatment later, exams, cleanings, X-rays and fluoride are among the services most fully covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
