FAQS
Check-up questions
Everything you need to know about dental check-ups, costs and PRSI cover.
What is a dental check-up?
A dental check-up is a routine examination where your dentist assesses the health of your teeth, gums and bite. If needed, digital X-rays are taken. The aim is to catch any problems early – when they’re easier and cheaper to treat. PRSI free exam accepted – bring your PPS number and we’ll check your eligibility.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Most adults should have a check-up every 6 months. If you have gum disease, dental implants, a history of decay or other risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits – usually every 3–4 months.
How much does a dental check-up cost in Ireland?
At DentalTech, a standard dental check-up is €60 (free with PRSI for most PAYE workers). A check-up with scale and polish is €130 (€15 with PRSI). Emergency pain exams are €90, individual X-rays are €25 and an OPG is €100.
Is a dental check-up covered by PRSI?
Yes – most PAYE workers in Ireland qualify for one free dental examination per year under the PRSI Treatment Benefit Scheme. We check your eligibility for you when you book.
Is a dental check-up covered by VHI or DeCare?
We accept VHI and DeCare dental insurance plans, and most contribute towards the cost of routine examinations and X-rays. We’re happy to help with your claim.
How long does a dental check-up take?
A standard check-up takes 20–30 minutes. If you’re combining it with a scale and polish or X-rays, allow 45–60 minutes.
Do I need X-rays at every check-up?
No. X-rays are only taken when clinically needed – typically every 1–2 years for low-risk adults, or sooner if your dentist needs to investigate a specific issue.
What happens if a problem is found?
We’ll explain exactly what we’ve found, show you any photos or X-rays, and agree a clear written treatment plan with options and transparent pricing. You’re never under pressure to book treatment on the day.
Are check-ups suitable for children?
Yes – we recommend starting routine check-ups from around age 2–3. Early visits help children get comfortable in the dental chair and let us monitor tooth development.
I haven't been to the dentist in years. What should I do?
Book a new patient consultation. We take a gentle, judgement-free approach – assess what’s needed, agree priorities and build a step-by-step plan to get your oral health back on track.
