Process
Initial Assessment: In the treatment room, your hygienist will review your medical and dental history, talk through your concerns and note any symptoms or goals you’d like addressed.
Professional Cleaning: Your hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish to reduce surface stains and floss thoroughly, leaving your teeth clean and refreshed.
X-Rays: When needed, digital X-rays will be taken to detect problems not visible during the exam, such as hidden cavities, bone changes or impacted teeth.

Next Steps
Review & Guidance: Once your exam is complete, the dentist will go over the results, discuss any issues and suggest treatments or preventative care as needed. You’ll also get customized advice on brushing, flossing, diet and habits to keep your smile healthy.
Next Visit Scheduling: Before you head out, our team will set up your next regular checkup—usually in six months—and arrange any follow-up visits if further care is required.
