We use advanced tools like digital X-rays, the DIAGNOdent cavity detector, and the Intraoral Camera to spot decay early, examine your gum health, and make your care precise and proactive. Whether you’re due for a six-month check or haven’t seen a dentist in years, our team meets you with warmth, zero judgment, and a commitment to keeping you comfortable.
Clean Teeth, Clear Mind: Why Exams Matter
Your mouth does a lot daily—biting, chewing, speaking, and smiling—so it deserves a little maintenance. Regular cleanings and exams do more than polish your teeth. They prevent issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. We help you avoid problems and support your long-term health when you visit us regularly. We take time to explain everything we find and offer advice so you can make confident choices about your care.
Here’s what we check at each visit:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Early signs of tooth decay
- Gum inflammation or bleeding
- Bite alignment and jaw issues
- Oral cancer screenings using OralID
- Cracks or fractures with the Intraoral Camera
- Deep cavities with DIAGNOdent
Not Your Average Cleaning
Forget the rushed clean-and-go. We take a detailed, personalized approach to every dental cleaning. Our hygienist gently but thoroughly removes tartar, polishes your teeth, and shows you the areas that need more attention at home. We use the latest techniques to protect your enamel and reduce sensitivity during your visit.
What to Expect at Your Cleaning
- We start with digital X-rays to get a clear look between your teeth and beneath your gums, which helps us spot decay or bone loss early with less radiation and more comfort.
- Our hygienist removes plaque and tartar using precision tools and gentle techniques, ensuring every surface gets the attention it needs without damaging your enamel.
- We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile feeling smooth and refreshed. We also offer Chapstick and glasses to protect your lips and eyes during the process.
- If your teeth need extra protection, we apply a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel and reduce your risk of future cavities.
- Before you leave, we will share helpful brushing and flossing tips based on your exam and cleaning results, using visuals from the Intraoral Camera so you can see what to focus on at home.
We also check your gums for signs of disease and discuss anything you’ve noticed—bad breath, bleeding gums, or sensitivity. Our goal is to keep your smile feeling and functioning at its best.
