Dental Exam and Clean

Dental Exam
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit.  At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include the following:

  • Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.  X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
  • Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
    • Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
  • Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

We also offer instructions for your oral care based on the results of your dental exam. Improvements to your daily routine and regular visits for a Scale & Polish can prevent signs of decay and gum disease and make a big difference to your oral hygiene and dental health.

Professional Dental Cleaning

A professional teeth cleaning is a procedure in which we use a variety of tools to help deep clean your gums and the surface of your teeth.

First, we use an ultrasonic cleaner and a water sprayer to loosen and remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums.
