The Foundation of Oral Health
What to Expect from Your Dental Exam and Cleaning.
Dental exams and cleanings are more than just routine appointments—they’re your first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. During your exam, our dentists carefully check your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of concern, using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to detect problems early—often before you feel any discomfort.
A professional cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains that regular brushing can’t reach. This not only keeps your smile looking great but also prevents the buildup of bacteria that can lead to decay and gum disease. Regular visits every six months help maintain strong teeth and healthy gums for life.

More Than Just a Polished Smile
Why Routine Dental Visits Matter.
Routine dental exams and cleanings don’t just make your teeth shine—they protect your entire mouth. By catching early signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, your dentist can treat issues before they become painful or expensive to fix. Prevention saves both your health and your wallet.
Cleanings also help freshen your breath, remove stubborn buildup, and maintain natural tooth color. A clean, healthy mouth contributes to better overall well-being and confidence in your smile. With consistent visits, you’re investing in long-term comfort and peace of mind.

Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions.
Still curious about this treatment? Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask — and our honest, straightforward answers.
How often should I schedule a dental exam and cleaning?
It’s recommended to visit your dentist every six months for a routine exam and cleaning. Regular visits help catch potential problems early and keep your teeth and gums healthy. However, some patients with gum disease or other conditions may benefit from more frequent visits.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Cleanings are generally painless. You may feel mild pressure or scraping as plaque and tartar are removed, but our hygienists use gentle techniques to keep you comfortable. If you have sensitive gums, let us know—we can make adjustments to ease discomfort.
Why is professional cleaning necessary if I brush and floss daily?
Even with excellent oral hygiene, plaque can harden into tartar that regular brushing can’t remove. Professional cleanings target these hard-to-reach areas, preventing decay and gum issues that at-home care might miss.
What happens during a dental exam?
During your exam, your dentist will check for cavities, gum health, bite alignment, and signs of oral cancer. X-rays may be taken to see beneath the surface. The goal is early detection—catching small problems before they become big ones.
Will my insurance cover dental exams and cleanings?
Most dental insurance plans cover two exams and cleanings per year. Our team will help verify your benefits and explain any costs before treatment, so there are no surprises.
