What to Expect During Your Dental Appointment 

Routine dental exams and cleanings are essential for preventing oral health issues and catching them early, allowing you to maintain a healthy smile. Most patients benefit from exams and cleanings every 6 months, although we may recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs.

Here’s what typically happens during your dental checkup with us: 

• Comprehensive dental exam: During your checkup, we’ll visually assess your teeth and gums for any signs or concerns like cavities, gum disease, or other possible issues. We will also ask if you’ve noticed any pain, lumps, bleeding gums, or other symptoms. 
• X-rays: We usually do X-rays annually to gain a deeper understanding of your oral health. These allow us to look beneath the surface to find potential problems. If we find anything, we can often take action to prevent needing more dental work later.
• Cleaning: Using professional tools, our dental hygienist removes built-up tartar from your teeth and along the gum line to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. We’ll polish your teeth for that clean, fresh feeling.
• Tailored advice: We’ll provide recommendations to enhance your oral hygiene routine and answer any questions about your dental health. For example, some patients may have mild misalignment that could be resolved with less than a year of Invisalign. Straight teeth are easier to clean and less susceptible to damage from nearby teeth.
