Biannual oral examinations are essential when it comes to identifying potential problems before they compromise your health. During your evaluation, the doctor will inspect your mouth, head, and neck for abnormal growths or lesions. When needed, we will also take imaging to give us a more complete view of your teeth and jaw.

As part of your routine dental visits, your teeth will be cleaned to remove deposits of plaque and tartar. Once these deposits are removed, your teeth will be polished to create a smooth surface that makes it harder for new plaque to accumulate. Dental cleanings are critical for preventing gum disease and tooth decay.

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease. During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth roots after the scaling process. Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface.

Dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable. A lack of saliva leaves you more susceptible to tooth decay. Your dentist will help diagnose the cause of dry mouth and suggest over-the-counter products that can provide relief.

Yes, a professional dental cleaning cannot be replicated by brushing at home. When plaque hardens on the teeth, it turns into a substance called tartar—and tartar can only be removed using professional tools. When tartar is not removed regularly, it may begin to cause tooth decay and gum disease.

For most patients, seeing the dentist every six months is sufficient. Some patients, particularly those with gum disease, may need to visit the dentist more often for monitoring and oral health maintenance.

A typical appointment for an exam and dental cleaning is 45-60 minutes, depending on the condition of your teeth. If it’s been a while since you’ve last seen the dentist, your appointment may be slightly longer.

We’ll work together with you to get you back on track so you can smile proudly again.
