Dental Cleanings and Exams
Routine dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of preventive dentistry. Regular dental visits allow early detection of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health conditions before they progress into more complex problems.
During a typical dental visit we may:
- Perform a comprehensive dental examination
- Screen for cavities and gum disease
- Evaluate jaw function and bite alignment
- Perform oral cancer screening
- Remove plaque and tartar with professional dental cleaning
- Provide personalized home care recommendations
Most patients benefit from dental checkups every six months, although some patients may require more frequent visits depending on their oral health needs.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage.
Modern tooth-colored composite fillings restore the strength and appearance of natural teeth while preserving healthy tooth structure.
- Natural tooth color for aesthetic results
- Strong bonding to tooth structure
- Conservative treatment that preserves healthy enamel
- Durable and long-lasting restoration
Treating cavities early helps prevent further decay and protects the long-term health of your teeth.
