Routine Visits

Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining good oral health. During these visits, our dentist checks for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential problems. We also check your bite alignment, give your teeth a thorough cleaning, and check for any signs of damage.

What Happens During a Dental Checkup?

During your checkup, we'll thoroughly clean your teeth. Our hygienist will remove any plaque buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and gums to prevent cavities and gingivitis. If you have periodontal disease, we will perform a scaling treatment to remove the built-up tartar along the gum line. This treatment can help your gums heal and prevent further damage to your smile. Our team can also talk to you about ongoing care at home and answer any questions you have about your smile. We genuinely care about our patients’ oral health and want to give you the tools you need to maintain it.

For patients who need more in-depth care for their teeth, we also offer a wide range of restorative treatments. This includes everything from fillings to crowns and more!

What Are the Benefits of Regular Checkups?

Professional cleanings provide a deep clean that you can't get at home, removing plaque and tartar buildup from hard-to-reach places in your mouth. These visits also allow us to provide other preventive treatments, like fluoride varnishes to protect your teeth against decay or sealants to prevent cavities from forming on the biting surfaces of molars.

During your appointment, we can also check your mouth for any signs of concern and offer treatment if you develop a problem. Regular exams also enable us to monitor your dental health and recommend changes as your smile ages. This can help prevent minor concerns from becoming bigger ones later on.

How Often Would I Need a Dental Checkup?

You should visit the dentist every six months for a cleaning and a checkup. These appointments will ensure that your oral health is on track and that no concerns are developing below the surface of your teeth and gums. If we find any potential signs of decay or gum disease and provide treatment as soon as possible, we can protect your mouth's overall health and prevent more severe issues from occurring.
