A routine cleaning and checkup does more than polish your teeth — it's the appointment most likely to catch a problem while it's still small and inexpensive to treat. A dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can't reach, especially along and below the gumline. The dentist's exam that follows checks for cavities, gum disease, and early signs of issues like enamel wear or oral cancer.
Bitewing X-rays catch cavities forming between teeth long before they'd be visible or symptomatic. Most insurance plans cover two cleanings a year, which lines up with how quickly plaque hardens back into tartar after a cleaning.
The consequences of skipped cleanings compound slowly, which is part of why the damage often isn't noticed until it's already progressed. A cleaning today is a fraction of the cost and discomfort of periodontal treatment down the line.
Pocket depths around each tooth are measured to catch early gum disease before it progresses.
Bitewing imaging catches between-teeth decay invisible to a visual exam alone.
A visual and physical screening for early signs of oral cancer is part of every standard exam.
Extra cavity protection is available in the same appointment when recommended.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
The standard twice-yearly cleaning recommended for patients without active gum disease.
A full-mouth evaluation that goes beyond the visual check to catch developing issues.
Bitewing and periapical X-rays reveal decay between teeth and below fillings.
For patients with early gum disease, removes tartar below the gumline and smooths root surfaces.
Strengthens enamel and seals the grooves of molars where cavities most often start.
A visual and tactile check for unusual lesions, lumps, or discoloration in the mouth and throat.
