Professional Cleaning

Cleanings can help freshen your breath and brighten your teeth for a whiter, more confident smile! Our hygienist performs a thorough cleaning to remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth. Regular cleanings also help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental health concerns.

Full Examination

A member of our team will perform a complete oral examination during your appointment. This includes your teeth, gums, and tongue. It also includes any existing dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns, or bridges. We will check for signs of decay, disease, infection, and other concerns. This allows us to evaluate your overall oral health status and make treatment recommendations as needed.

Digital X-rays

We take X-rays to examine the health of your teeth, gums, jawbones, and other tissues. They allow us to look for signs of decay, gum disease, cysts, and more. Because they are digital, your results will be ready for review instantly. Digital X-rays emit considerably less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making for a safe and convenient appointment.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection is the key to successfully fighting oral cancer. A member of our team will perform an oral cancer screening to look for signs of cancerous and precancerous conditions. Signs include lumps, sores, or white patches on the gums.
