Receive a Complete Dental Exam
Our comprehensive dental exam goes far beyond a quick tooth check. We use low-radiation digital X-rays to view areas between teeth, beneath fillings, and below the gumline that can't be seen during a visual inspection.
Our advanced 3-D wellness scan creates detailed images of your entire mouth, jaw joints, sinuses, and airway. This allows us to identify potential problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat.
Your dentist carefully checks for early signs of tooth decay, gum inflammation, and bite alignment issues. We measure the depth of gum pockets around each tooth to detect gum disease in its earliest stages.
We also perform a thorough oral cancer screening, examining your lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, and neck for any unusual changes or suspicious areas that might require further investigation.
Benefit From a Professional Cleaning
Our skilled hygienists use specialized instruments to carefully remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and along the gumline. We focus on areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing, like between teeth and below the gumline.
After removing all buildup, we polish your teeth with a special paste that removes light surface stains and leaves your tooth enamel feeling silky smooth. We complete your cleaning by flossing between each tooth to remove any remaining particles.
You'll love how fresh your mouth feels after our thorough yet gentle cleaning - a sensation that simply can't be achieved with home care alone.

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. This schedule helps prevent plaque buildup, catch problems early, and maintain optimal oral health. Patients with gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions may need more frequent cleanings – every three to four months.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during routine dental cleanings. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we offer numbing options to ensure comfort. If you haven't had a cleaning in several years, you might feel mild sensitivity, but our gentle techniques minimize discomfort while still effectively removing plaque and tartar.
A standard dental cleaning and exam typically takes 45-60 minutes for established patients with good oral health. New patients may need 60-90 minutes to allow for a more comprehensive exam and health history review.
