Routine dental health reviews

Our focus at Sturminster Dental Care is on preventative dental care, designed to help you avoid dental problems so you can achieve and maintain a healthy mouth. We provide routine and specialist dental care to patients across Sturminster Newton and further. Regular dental health reviews are recommended in order to spot concerns early, before they progress into more complex problems.

Routine dental health reviews are usually conducted every 6 or 12 months, depending on your requirement. Your dentist will recommend an appropriate recall frequency as required to maintain your personal oral health.

During each routine dental health assessment we’ll review:

  • Signs of tartar build up and decay
  • Identify any chips and cracks
  • Health of gums
  • Condition and functionality of any existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures
  • Jaw alignment and clicking
  • Signs of stress and teeth grinding
  • Oral cancer screening

We also recommended regular visits to our hygiene team for a thorough clean of your teeth and gums, stain removal, and oral health advise in order to support a comprehensive home care regime.

Ian Mercer is a likeable pleasant person and explains what is going to happen during any procedure

Helen the dental hygienist is a lovely lady and very very good at her job. She always introduces me to the nurse and does her best to make me feel comfortable and always advises me of what she is going to do. Helen really encouraged me to give up smoking. With her gently persuasive approach. She also advises me on how to clean my teeth better. Thank you Helen for your service. Keep doing what you do.

I am delighted to find an implantologist near to where I live as my existing implantologist (at Bath) is retiring. AJ at Sturminster Newton is excellent and I will be booking regular yearly check ups with him. He explained and discussed my existing problem and rectified this at the time of my initial appointment.After my next hygienist appointment at my existing clinic (which is already booked) I will also move this to the Sturminster Dental Care. I will then have AJ (the implantologist) and hygienist under one roof. The staff are excellent, most helpful and friendly. Overall a great experience.

Nicky was very friendly and I felt very well looked after by Colin

First class all round as usual.

19th May 2026

I am completing this survey based on my appointment with the hygienist, which is and always is with Helen, my regular hygienist - excellent.

18th May 2026

A nearly 10% increase in price from 6 months' ago is a bit steep so we'll most likely stretch the time between appointments as long as our teeth are in good health. But Ian is a great, kind and considerate dentist who epitomises what being a good clinician is all about. Finding an NHS dentist in this area is also a reason for staying!
