Cleanings & Exams
Regular cleanings and comprehensive exams every six months help prevent problems, detect concerns early, and keep your smile healthy for the long term.
We recommend a professional cleaning and exam every six months to maintain optimal oral health and catch potential problems early. Regular visits allow us to prevent issues before they become serious, saving you time, discomfort, and expense down the road. During your appointment, which typically takes about an hour, one of our seasoned hygienists will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth, then polish and floss to leave your smile feeling fresh and clean. She'll also measure your gum pockets and check for any signs of recession or inflammation.
Following your cleaning, one of our dentists will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and any existing dental restorations. We'll also screen for oral cancer and take X-rays as needed to detect issues not visible to the naked eye. After the exam, your dentist will discuss all findings with you and work together to create a personalized treatment plan for any concerns that need attention. By staying on top of your six-month checkups, you're investing in a lifetime of healthy smiles.
