What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning & Exam

Your journey to optimal oral health begins with a thorough cleaning by one of our skilled hygienists. Using specialized tools, they’ll gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially in those hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing can miss. This thorough cleaning helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

Next, one of our experienced dentists will conduct a comprehensive exam. They’ll carefully assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. We utilize advanced technologies like digital x-rays to get a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface, allowing for early detection of any potential issues. After the exam, your dentist will discuss any findings and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining your best smile, which may include home care tips, fluoride treatments, or other preventive measures.
