Smile Boldly With Routine Dental Care

Our team is ready to help you maintain a beautiful smile through routine cleanings and exams. These services are more than just a quick checkup. They’re a comprehensive approach to maintaining your oral health. During your visit, our skilled team will:

  • Remove plaque and tartar buildup
  • Polish your teeth for a smooth, clean feel
  • Floss between teeth to remove hidden debris
  • Check for cavities and other oral problems
  • Examine your bite and jaw alignment
  • Perform an oral cancer screening
  • Take necessary X-rays to see what’s happening below the gumline

Your dentist uses advanced technology to ensure the best outcomes. Our DIAGNOdent instrument helps detect decay in its earliest stages, even before it’s visible to the naked eye. This way, we can address problems while they’re small and easily treated. We also use an intraoral camera to take up-close photos inside your mouth. These images help us explain our findings and allow you to see exactly what we see. This technology makes it easier for you to understand your oral health and make the proper decisions about your care.

Our oral cancer screening is a quick, painless process that could save your life. Early detection is key in successful treatment of oral cancer.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

The length of these services may vary a bit, depending on whether we take X-rays or provide any preventive services like dental sealants. Usually, though, we can complete an exam and cleaning in about an hour. You may need to allow more time if it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a dentist.

How soon after my cleaning can I eat?

You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

Dental cleanings involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using specialized instruments. You may experience slight pressure or vibrations during the cleaning, but it should not be painful. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, your dental hygienist can adjust the cleaning technique to ensure your comfort.
