What to Expect During Your Checkup & Cleaning
Comprehensive Dental Exam
Your journey to a healthy smile begins with a thorough examination by one of our experienced dentists. We’ll carefully assess your teeth, gums, jawbone, and oral tissues to detect any signs of:
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- Oral cancer
- Bite alignment issues
- TMJ disorders
- Other potential concerns
Early detection is crucial in preventing minor issues from becoming major problems. Our team utilizes the latest diagnostic tools and techniques to ensure a precise and accurate oral health assessment.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
After your exam, our expert dentists will gently but thoroughly remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can not reach. Deep cleanings prevent gum disease and decay and leave teeth smooth and rejuvenated. Finish with a polish to eliminate surface stains and fluoride to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Generally speaking, we advise coming in for a cleaning and examination every six months. However, some people might need to see a dentist more frequently based on their risk factors and oral health needs. During your examination, we will customize the appropriate timetable for you.
Since dental anxiety is widespread, we work hard to make every patient’s visit peaceful and comfortable. If you have any worries, just let us know, and we will go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed during your visit. We also provide sedative options for those who have extreme anxiety.
Teeth cleaning is typically not painful. However, some individuals with sensitive teeth or gums may experience mild discomfort. Our hygienists are gentle and will adjust their techniques to minimize any discomfort you may feel.
Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before your appointment. If you have any specific concerns or questions, note them so you can discuss them with your dentist or hygienist. If you’re a new patient, please bring any relevant medical history.
