What to Expect During Your Dental Exam
Our dental exams are designed to be thorough yet comfortable. Here’s what a typical visit includes:
Initial Consultation
We take the time to understand your dental history and any current concerns you may have.
Professional Cleaning
A dental hygienist will carefully clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar build-up. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
Oral Health Assessment
The hygienist will assess your gums and teeth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
Digital X-Rays
For a comprehensive view of your teeth and jaw, we may take digital X-rays. These allow us to detect issues that aren't visible during the physical exam, such as bone loss or hidden cavities.

How often should I have a dental exam?
We recommend a dental exam every six months to maintain optimal oral health. Regular exams allow us to catch any issues early and provide preventive care.
What happens if I don’t have regular dental checkups?
Without regular check-ups, small dental problems like cavities or gum inflammation can worsen, leading to more complex treatments like root canals or extractions.
