Dental Check-up & X-Ray in Kota Kinabalu
A regular dental check-up catches small problems before they become painful, expensive ones. At FTS Chin Dental in Likas, we give your teeth and gums a thorough, gentle exam — with an X-ray when needed — and explain everything clearly.
Why a regular check-up matters
Most dental problems start quietly — a tiny cavity, early gum inflammation, a cracked filling — with no pain at all until they’ve grown. A check-up every 6 months lets us spot those things while they’re small, cheap and simple to fix, instead of waiting for a toothache that means bigger treatment. It’s the easiest way to keep your whole family’s smiles healthy.
What to expect at your visit
- We examine your teeth, gums and bite, checking for decay, gum disease and wear.
- When we need to see between or beneath teeth, we take a quick, low-dose X-ray.
- We explain clearly what we find — the good and anything to keep an eye on.
- If a scaling would help, we can often do it in the same visit.
- You leave knowing exactly where your dental health stands, with no pressure.
Will it hurt?
Not at all — a check-up is completely painless, and the X-ray is quick and comfortable with a very low, safe dose. If you’ve been nervous about the dentist, this is the gentlest way to get back on track.
A check-up is priced per visit and depends on whether you also need an X-ray or a scaling on the day. It’s an affordable way to avoid bigger costs later — message us on WhatsApp and we’ll give you a clear estimate before your appointment.

Is this right for you?
Every mouth is different. The treatments described here may not be appropriate for every patient, and any treatment is conditional on a satisfactory clinical assessment being carried out first. Our dentist will examine you, explain your options, and tell you honestly if a different treatment — or no treatment — would serve you better.
