We are dedicated to offering a variety of services to boost personal self-confidence while ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy enough to last a lifetime.

Our dental team is here to educate you on how to prevent gum disease and cavities with our team’s assistance.

What can I expect during a first-time routine dental examination and cleaning?

The team starts with intake paperwork for new patients to our practice. During this time, we will ask questions about your dental history, any concerns you have, and any medical conditions that may affect your oral health. This information is important for us to provide the personalized care and treatment you desire and deserve.

Next, our dental hygienists perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth. This typically includes removing plaque and tartar buildup from all surfaces of your teeth, including hard-to-reach areas. They will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and achieve a brighter, cleaner smile.

After the professional cleaning, our dental team will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums. This may include using dental tools to check for signs of tooth decay or gum disease and examining your bite and jaw alignment. X-rays may also be taken to get a closer look at the health of the teeth and gums. If any concerns are identified, they will be discussed with you to ensure you receive a proper diagnosis and can consult with our doctors about the next steps needed to address the issue and restore oral health.
