There's nothing to fear with a dental exam. Your teeth will be visually examined for signs of plaque, tartar and tooth decay. Your gums will also be examined for puffiness or discoloration, which are signs of gum disease. A full set of dental X-rays may also be taken during your dental exam, to enable your dentist to see below the surfaces of your teeth. Dental exams typically end with a dental cleaning, to remove surface stains and buildup.
The secret to a bright, healthy smile is actually no secret at all: brush, floss, and get a professional dental exam at least once every six months. Professional dental exams are all about prevention – preventing existing problems from getting worse, and preventing dental problems from developing in the future. Regular dental exams make it possible to identify and treat a problem in its earliest stage – which is not only good for your oral health, but also good for your budget!
No matter how often you brush and floss, plaque and tartar deposits can still build up on your teeth. A professional teeth cleaning is the single most effective way to remove these deposits and prevent them from causing more serious problems in the future. While a traditional teeth cleaning involves manually scraping away these deposits with special dental tools, advancements in dental technologies now give you more options for teeth cleanings.
A laser teeth cleaning, also known as an ultrasonic cleaning, is a popular alternative to traditional teeth cleanings. With a laser teeth cleaning, an ultrasonic scaler (rather than a manual probe) is used to remove deposits, kill harmful microbes, and eliminate bacteria around the teeth and gums through high-frequency sound waves. Many patients find laser teeth cleanings more comfortable than traditional teeth cleanings because they are quicker, quieter, and pain-free.

The whole staff made me feel welcome and at ease. Not being a fan of the dentist, they made it easy and calmed my nerves! My next appointment is in March! Will definitely be back.
Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel at ease from the second you walk in. I would never go anywhere else now.
Nancy was the most thorough hygienist I ever experienced. She explained step by step everything that she did. I would recommend her to anyone.
Both the dentist and the dental hygienist here are amazing! I’ve been through the ringer with dentists and I would’ve settled for a good one, but I hit the jackpot when I found this place!
Wonderful staff and Dentist. High recommend! Today was my first visit, and won’t be my last. They were so kind, and understanding to my needs! Thank you so much!
