Dental Cleanings and Complete Oral Exams <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We offer professional dental cleanings performed by qualified dental hygienists. During your visit, the hygienist will begin with a pre\u2011evaluation of your oral health<\/strong>, including your gums, teeth, and soft tissues. This is followed by scaling<\/strong> to remove tartar and plaque, and polishing<\/strong> to smooth the tooth surfaces. They will also take any necessary digital X\u2011rays<\/strong> to assist the dentist in making an accurate diagnosis.<\/p>

After the cleaning, the dentist will perform a full examination<\/strong> and provide the appropriate diagnoses and recommendations. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A complete exam includes: <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • Review of medical history, allergies, and medications<\/li>
  • Examination of soft tissues (tongue, palate, cheeks) and lymph nodes to detect early abnormalities<\/li>
  • Assessment of each tooth to identify cavities, cracks, or worn restorations<\/li>
  • Periodontal evaluation by measuring the space between the tooth and gum<\/li>
  • Examination of the bite and jaw joint (TMJ) to detect signs of bruxism or dysfunction<\/li>
  • Digital X\u2011rays to detect interproximal cavities and evaluate bone levels<\/li>
  • A panoramic X\u2011ray for a full overview of your oral structures<\/li><\/ul>

    The appointment often includes a cleaning, and you will receive personalized oral hygiene advice<\/strong>.<\/p>

    Finally, the dentist will establish a customized treatment plan<\/strong> based on your needs and goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    How long does a dental cleaning take? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The duration varies depending on age, oral health, and the amount of tartar or staining present. For most adults, a routine cleaning and recall exam typically lasts about 60 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Do you accept new patients? How long is the new\u2011patient appointment? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Yes, we are accepting new patients. A new\u2011patient appointment lasts approximately 2 hours<\/strong> and includes a comprehensive examination. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    What instruments do you use for scaling? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    We use ultrasonic scalers<\/strong>, such as the Cavitron or Piezo, to ensure efficient, precise, and comfortable cleaning. These instruments use gentle vibrations and water to remove tartar effectively, even in hard\u2011to\u2011reach areas. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
