Keeping your smile healthy and bright starts with regular cleanings. Here’s what you can look forward to when you visit our office:
When you arrive, our friendly team will make you feel at ease. If needed, we’ll begin with x-rays to get a clear picture of your dental health. Then, using a small mirror, our hygienist will carefully check for any signs of gum disease, cavities, or other concerns.
Next, we’ll get to work giving your teeth a deep clean. Our hygienist will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar, followed by a gentle polish that leaves your teeth looking and feeling fresh. We’ll finish with a full flossing to ensure every area is sparkling clean.
After your cleaning, the dentist will perform a final exam to catch any issues early. If we find anything that needs attention, we’ll walk you through your options and answer any questions you may have.
Before you leave, our front desk team will help you schedule your next visit. Booking ahead keeps your smile on track and helps prevent small issues from becoming big ones.
