Dental Cleanings

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that patients visit a dentist twice a year. Most insurance plans cover these biannual visits based on this recommendation. This is crucial because traditional brushing methods are unable to remove tartar, though plaque prevention is still possible. Regular professional cleanings help maintain your oral health by removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.

During a dental cleaning, our skilled hygienists will meticulously remove bacteria, tartar buildup, and plaque from the surface of your teeth. This process is vital for ensuring that your teeth stay in great health. The cleaning includes scaling, which involves removing hardened tartar deposits from above and below the gumline, and polishing, which uses a special cleaner guaranteed to give your teeth a nice shine.

Dental Exams

Along with cleanings, dental exams are an integral part of maintaining your oral health. Our thorough exams include checking for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues. Early detection of these conditions allows for more effective and less invasive treatments. During the exam, we also take digital X-rays if necessary, providing a comprehensive view of your oral health and helping us identify issues that may not be visible during a standard exam.
