Check-Ups & Cleanings

Our team of experienced dental professionals is dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health through routine check-ups and cleanings, which can help identify and prevent dental issues before they become more serious.

During a routine check-up and cleaning, our dental team will examine your teeth and gums, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. We may also take x-rays to get a closer look at your teeth and jawbone.

Our dental hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. We may also provide fluoride treatments or dental sealants to help prevent cavities and protect your teeth.

Regular check-ups and cleanings are recommended every six months for most patients, although some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their individual oral health needs. By making regular check-ups and cleanings a part of your oral hygiene routine, you can help prevent dental issues from developing and maintain optimal oral health for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Gum Disease Treatment & Prevention

Effective prevention and timely treatment of gum disease are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health, preventing tooth loss, and safeguarding overall well-being. Gum disease treatment involves comprehensive techniques and personalized care to halt the progression of gum disease, restore gum health, and preserve the integrity of your smile.

Sealants

Dental sealants provide a protective shield against cavities, particularly in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring long-lasting dental health and minimizing the risk of tooth decay. Dental sealants act as a reliable barrier, shielding vulnerable tooth surfaces from bacteria and acids, effectively reducing the risk of cavities and promoting optimal oral health.

Types of Cleanings

Both types of dental cleanings are important for maintaining good oral health and preventing more serious dental issues from developing. Your dental professional will determine which type of cleaning is best suited for your individual needs based on your oral health status and any existing dental issues that you may have. It's important to follow your dentist's recommendations for regular check-ups and cleanings to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy and strong.

Prophylaxis Cleaning

This is a routine cleaning that is performed on patients who have healthy gums and do not have any significant build-up of plaque or tartar. A prophylaxis cleaning involves removing any surface stains, plaque, and tartar from the teeth using a scaler and a polisher. This type of cleaning is typically performed every six months to maintain good oral health.

Scaling and Root Planing

This type of cleaning is recommended for patients who have gum disease or periodontitis, which is a more advanced form of gum disease. Scaling and root planing is a deeper cleaning that involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line, along with smoothing out rough spots on the tooth roots to help prevent future build-up. This type of cleaning may be performed over several visits and may require local anesthesia to help manage any discomfort.
