The thorough cleaning leaves your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed, while the exam helps catch potential problems early.

Regular cleanings and exams prevent cavities, freshen breath, and help you avoid additional treatments down the road. Our dentists can even spot signs of other health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Find Problems Early With a Thorough Exam

Our complete dental exam uses the latest technology to give you a clear picture of your oral health. With digital imaging and intraoral cameras, we can spot even the smallest cavities between teeth and check for hidden problems below your gumline. These detailed images also help us catch early signs of gum disease and screen for oral cancer.

Your dentist will also check how your teeth fit together when you bite and look for signs of grinding or clenching. This thorough approach helps us create the right treatment plan for your unique needs.

We'll let you know our findings and give you options when possible to put your oral care completely in your hands.

Get Fresh, Clean Teeth

As a new patient, your first visit focuses on a complete exam to understand your dental health. We'll then schedule your cleaning appointment at a time that's convenient for you. This approach lets us plan the right type of cleaning for your specific needs and ensure we have enough time to address any concerns you may have.

During your cleaning, our experienced hygienists use advanced ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar buildup. These instruments clean areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing and flossing, like between teeth and just below the gumline.

The gentle vibrations break up stubborn deposits while keeping you comfortable. We'll also polish your teeth so they feel smooth and look their best.

Keep up with your dental cleanings and exams in Edmond by visiting us soon.

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

That depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth. If you haven’t visited a dentist in years, it will likely require more time than usual for your hygienist to remove hardened tartar from your teeth. In addition, you may have more issues you’d like to address with your dentist during your exam. The average time for a cleaning and exam, though, is usually about an hour.

How soon after my cleaning can I eat?

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.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

We suggest that you get your teeth cleaned and checked every six months. Regular visits help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. It also allows your dentist to identify any issues while they are still minor and easy to treat. Plus, these visits provide an opportunity for you to discuss your smile-related concerns and goals.
