We Keep Your Smile Healthy and Beautiful

Our professional dental cleanings are designed to remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. These cleanings and thorough dental exams play a pivotal role in maintaining oral health and preventing potential problems such as cavities and gum disease.

Routine cleanings and exams have many benefits:

• Prevent Cavities: Even the best of us have trouble keeping a smile completely clean; a dentist can get into those hard-to-reach spots and clean areas you can’t quite get to when brushing and flossing alone, meaning fewer chances of forming cavities.
• Early Detection: A checkup can detect issues well before they become major problems; besides tooth decay, your dentist can catch things like signs of acid reflux, bite & alignment issues, nutritional deficiencies, and even gradual sleep quality issues tied to your oral health and smile.
• Fresh Breath: Cleanings can eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath; treatments can extend the fresh feeling along with promoting healthy oral health routines.
• Save Money: Ignored dental issues can become a costly experience in due time because what could be caught early is now something that requires restorative treatments. It’s affordable to maintain your smile than having to rebuild it.
• Good Health: Oral health is a reflection to your whole health. Routine care supports wellness and helps to lessen the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and more. Our doctors can also detect signs of these issues through the mouth allowing you to take early action.
• Less Stress: Keeping on top of your oral health means fewer instances of toothaches and dental emergencies; you won’t stress out about worrying about your teeth.

What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup

A typical dental exam at our office involves a comprehensive check of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Our professionals will perform an in-depth examination of your oral health, including digital x-rays to diagnose any hidden issues.

Treatment typically includes:

• Removal of plaque and tartar
• Teeth polishing to remove stains
• Thorough flossing between teeth

A treatment of fluoride may be included to further protect your teeth after cleaning.

Following the examination, our dentists will discuss any identified issues and suggest suitable treatment options, if necessary. We may recommend products that can improve your oral hygiene routine. We’ll also suggest a follow-up appointment.

When Should I Visit?

You should see our dentists every six months.

However, you may need to see us sooner if you’re experiencing gum disease, you’re a tobacco user, have chronic health conditions, or have a history of dental issues.

We offer flexible appointments to fit your busy schedule.
