Dental check-up: why and how often should you get one in Montreux?

Early cavity detection, recommended frequency, what a full assessment includes and price (CHF 80-200): the guide to dental check-ups in Montreux.

A dental check-up on a regular basis remains the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises. Why, how often, and at what price in Montreux? Here's an overview.

Why have a regular dental check-up?

An annual or twice-yearly check-up allows early detection of cavities, gum disease, fractures invisible to the naked eye, and even certain oral cancers. The earlier a problem is detected, the less invasive and costly the treatment — prevention is better than cure.

What does a complete dental assessment include?

A full assessment at Cabinet du Casino includes:

  • a visual clinical examination of all teeth and the oral mucosa
  • panoramic and/or bitewing X-rays as needed
  • periodontal probing to assess gum health
  • an assessment of the bite (occlusion)
  • personalised oral hygiene advice

A priced treatment plan is provided if any treatment turns out to be necessary.

How often should you go for a check-up?

Cabinet Dentaire du Casino recommends a full assessment every 12 to 18 months, depending on your personal dental situation.

And what about children?

Yes, from the appearance of the first teeth. We recommend a first visit between 12 and 18 months to get the child used to the practice and detect any developmental issues, then an annual check-up throughout childhood and adolescence, in a calm, caring environment.

How much does a dental check-up cost in Montreux?

A check-up consultation is billed between CHF 80 and 200 depending on the duration and examinations performed; X-rays are billed separately according to the TarMed tariff. Basic LaMal health insurance does not cover routine care, but supplementary dental insurance may cover part of the costs — be sure to check your coverage before your visit.

Do you need an appointment?

Yes, an appointment is required for a scheduled check-up to ensure enough time for a full assessment. For dental emergencies page however, we do everything we can to see you the same day.
