Our team is dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health. We’ll create a custom care plan based on your individual needs and provide tips to improve your at-home dental routine. During your dental cleaning and exam, we will use advanced technology to ensure thorough care, including:
- Digital X-rays that provide clear images with less radiation
- Panoramic X-rays that show your entire mouth in one image
- Intraoral cameras to let you see what we see inside your mouth
- Ultrasonic teeth cleaners to remove plaque and tartar gently and effectively
Our hygienist will clean your teeth with ultrasonic technology, which uses sound waves to remove buildup. They’ll also polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your smile brighter.
Your dentist will examine your mouth, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. They’ll use an intraoral camera to show you any areas of concern and explain them clearly. As part of your exam, we also perform an oral cancer screening. This quick, painless check can help catch any potential problems early.
We’ll finish by discussing our findings, answering your questions, and offering personalized advice for your at-home oral care routine.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
Putting off dental appointments until you are in pain can lead to a serious oral health issue. Plus, not all dental problems show painful symptoms until they are in the advanced stages. Regular dental checkups give you the advantage of having a dental professional examine your mouth. Detecting oral health concerns in their early stages means less expensive and less invasive treatments.
