Keep Your Smile Healthy with Gentle, Thorough Preventive Care
Why Regular Dental Exams Matter
Even if your teeth feel fine, regular checkups are essential. Dental problems can develop slowly and silently, meaning you may not notice them until they become painful or expensive to fix. With routine exams, we can catch small issues early and keep your smile in great shape for the long haul.
During your visit, we’ll:
- Perform a gentle exam to check your teeth, gums, and bite
- Look for early signs of decay, gum disease, or oral cancer
- Take digital X-rays (if needed) for a deeper look below the surface
- Review your oral hygiene habits and answer your questions
Professional Cleanings
Our professional cleanings are more than just a polish; they’re a powerful way to fight plaque, tartar, and staining. Even with great brushing and flossing at home, some buildup is impossible to remove without professional tools. That’s where we come in.
During your dental cleaning, we’ll:
- Gently remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line
- Polish your teeth for a fresh, bright finish
- Offer personalized tips for keeping your smile healthy at home
You’ll leave feeling refreshed, confident, and ready to show off your smile.
How Often Should I Schedule a Dental Exam?
Most people benefit from a dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, if you have certain health conditions (like gum disease or a history of cavities), we may recommend more frequent visits to keep everything on track.
We’ll work with you to build a care plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and schedule.
What If It’s Been a While?
No judgment here. Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last cleaning, we’re just glad you’re taking the first step. Our team will meet you where you are, gently, respectfully, and without pressure.
