Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?
During a typical visit, you'll receive a professional cleaning, a comprehensive dental exam, and any necessary X-rays or scans. Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, then polishes your teeth to help prevent buildup and surface staining. Your dentist carefully examines your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for any signs of dental issues. These visits allow us to catch small problems early and keep your oral health on track.
What’s different about my first dental cleaning and exam?
During your first visit, you will feel welcomed and relaxed. Dr. Robinson personally greets every new patient and spends about 20 minutes getting to know you before any treatment begins. You'll take a short tour of the office, then receive a full set of digital X-rays, an iTero scan, and a comprehensive exam. After that, you'll meet with our hygienist for a personalized cleaning. We end the visit with an optional fluoride treatment. The focus is on connection, comfort, and creating a clear understanding of your current oral health.
What technology do you use during cleanings and exams?
We use advanced technologies to make your care more precise and comfortable. Digital X-rays help us spot cavities or bone loss early. Our iTero scanner creates a detailed model of your teeth and bite without the need for sticky impressions. Cavity detection devices allow us to catch decay at its earliest stage. All of this helps us explain what we see and guide you through any next steps with clarity.
