Dental Checkups & Cleanings
A professional cleaning and checkup is one of the smartest investments you can make in your long-term health. For just a short visit every six months, you get complete peace of mind, knowing you’re actively protecting your smile and preventing small issues from becoming more complex and costly down the road.
These regular visits are the cornerstone of our preventive philosophy. They allow both you and our team to stay one step ahead of potential issues, ensuring your smile remains healthy, vibrant, and at its best for a lifetime.
More Than a Cleaning, It’s a Wellness Check
While leaving with that perfectly smooth, fresh-from-the-dentist feeling is wonderful, the most important part of your visit is the comprehensive health check to make sure you’re in great oral health. Our experienced hygienists provide gentle yet thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach. Even with your best at-home oral hygiene routine, plaque can still find its way into hard-to-reach places and do damage out of sight. That’s where a professional cleaning comes in and puts those worries to rest!
At the same time, our doctors will perform a detailed exam to assess the ongoing health of your teeth and gums. This isn’t just about looking for problems; it’s about celebrating your successes and making sure you have everything you need to maintain your health between visits, including helpful tips on how to keep your smile shining for years to come.
See Your Health Evolve with iTero Wellness Scans
One of the most powerful tools we use to protect your long-term health is our iTero 3D scanner. During your regular checkups, we can take a new wellness scan, creating an updated, interactive map of your smile that reveals all the details.
- We Compare Your Scans: By comparing your current scan to previous ones, we build a detailed history and timeline of your oral health. This means not only do we see the improvements you’ve made, but the results of your efforts come to light.
- We Track Subtle Changes: An iTero wellness scan allows us to see even the most minute changes over time, like tooth wear or gum recession, long before they might be visible to the naked eye. You’re back in control, and gone are the days of being reactive to issues when they can be prevented early on.
- We Act Proactively: By spotting these trends early, we can have a conversation about simple steps to prevent bigger issues down the road. It’s a perfect example of how we pair modern technology with timeless, preventive care.
Comprehensive Aesthetic and Restorative Evaluation (CARE)
For patients with more complex needs or those who simply want the most thorough understanding of their smile, we offer an optional Comprehensive Aesthetic and Restorative Evaluation, or simply CARE for short.
This 90-minute, in-depth appointment goes far beyond a standard checkup. It uses the renowned Spear Framework to evaluate how five key areas of your health work together: Airway, Aesthetics, Function, Structure, and Biology. This integrated approach allows us to uncover the root causes of problems, not just treat the symptoms, and design a truly transformative treatment plan.
Ideal for anyone considering a full-mouth restoration, addressing significant tooth wear, or exploring cosmetic enhancements, this exam provides a complete picture of your health and a clear roadmap for achieving lasting results you can feel confident in.
