Discuss Your Smile Goals With Us at Regular Exams
Regular cleanings and exams are essential for keeping your teeth and gums in top condition for years to come. These visits allow our skilled team to assess your oral health, identify problems, and provide personalized recommendations to address them.
During your comprehensive exam, we’ll use some of the latest technology to detect even the smallest flaws or concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye. It includes:
- Digital X-rays and the iTero intraoral scanner to get a detailed, high-resolution view of your mouth
- The VELscope system to screen for signs of oral cancer, ensuring your overall well-being remains a top priority
- Time-phased intraoral scans will show the changes/shifts/movements that are occurring in your mouth over time and help you and your doctor to prioritize your care
After your exam, your hygienist will get to work cleaning and polishing your teeth. Using specialized instruments, they’ll carefully remove any built-up plaque and tartar to leave your smile feeling refreshed and smooth.
Along with the insights from your exam and cleaning, your dentist will work closely with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. We’ll provide multiple options when possible so you can choose the approach that best fits your needs, schedule, and budget. Our goal is to help you to make informed decisions about your dental care and achieve optimal oral health through general dentistry or other services.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?
That depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth. If you haven’t visited a dentist in years, it will likely require more time than usual for your hygienist to remove hardened tartar from your teeth. In addition, you may have more issues you’d like to address with your dentist during your exam. The average time for a cleaning and exam, though, is about an hour.
How soon after my cleaning can I eat?
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
We suggest that you get your teeth cleaned and checked every six months. Regular visits help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. It also allows your dentist to identify any issues while they are still minor and easy to treat. Plus, these visits provide an opportunity for you to discuss your smile-related concerns and goals.
