Prime Time Smiles, Chelmsford

Exams and cleanings

The visit that keeps the other pages on this site from being necessary.

Most problems are cheap and painless to fix when they are small. That is the entire argument for coming twice a year, and it is why the practice would rather see you for this than for an emergency.

Dr. Setu Choksi has been at this practice for more than 10 years, and Dr. Chong Lee brings more than 20 years of experience.

What happens

How a visit actually goes.

  1. 01

    A proper look

    We check the teeth, the gums and the soft tissue, and take images when they are actually needed rather than by routine.

  2. 02

    A cleaning that is not rushed

    Hard deposits come off, the gums get checked properly, and you leave knowing which spots you are missing at home.

  3. 03

    A plan, if you need one

    If something needs doing we tell you what, how urgent it is, and what it costs. If nothing needs doing we tell you that too.

Straight answers

Questions patients ask

How often should I come in?
Twice a year suits most people, and we will tell you if your gums need seeing more often than that. It is a recommendation based on what we find, not a policy.
I have not been to a dentist in years. Will I get a lecture?
No. A lot of people come back after a long gap, and the visit is about working out where you are now and what to do next.
Do you see children?
Yes. Families are booked together where the schedule allows it, so one trip covers everyone.

Ready when you are.

This one is booked over the phone rather than online, so the front desk can put you with the right dentist for the right length of visit.
