Regular dental visits are really important for a number of reasons. One, everybody has buildup. No matter how well you brush your teeth, myself included, you’re going to get buildup on the teeth of what is commonly known as tartar, okay, which is plaque that becomes calcified and depending on the makeup of your saliva, your drinking water, for some people it builds up really quickly, but everybody gets buildup.
If it’s left on the teeth for a long time, it can start to cause problems with the gums and it can lead to more advanced gum disease known as periodontal disease. Cavities can form fairly quickly and so a visit to your dentist every six months where you’re having things looked at, you’re going to catch things when they’re smaller and if we can address things when they’re small, you lose less tooth structure which equals your tooth being able to be viable and stay in your mouth for a lot longer.

BEST DENTIST EVER! I had a dental emergency and after calling 6 other “emergency dentists” who completely disregarded me and were quite rude, they immediately got me in. They explained everything with no judgment and made sure I had the help I needed immediately. I found out at 19 that I’ve needed braces badly for who knows how long, and without them I would’ve continued dealing with pain and other symptoms without even knowing. Every single person here was so pleasant and I look forward to my 6 month cleaning:)

I can always expect exceptional service from Dr. Fulton and Rita, and somehow, they exceed my expectations. I can count on professionalism; personal, gentle, and caring service; and the latest of dental techniques. All of the support staff are friendly, efficient, and can get you in on time and out the door. This is the practice for you and your family! Updated, seen 5/24 and again care was great. New update. This time I made a desperate call on 3/23/26. A 24-year old cap on my front tooth came undone, and I was hoping for a quick repair. It may have loosened from general anesthesia during a very recent surgery. Dr. Newman saw me the same day and did an outstanding job. Prior to my arrival, he spent a lot of time researching my dental file, contacted my recent surgeon since procedures should be delayed especially for knee replacement, and obtained approval to perform the procedure. Dr. Newman’s background in infectious disease and immunology may have impressed my surgeon!

The tooth extraction went very well. The dentist provided a pain free experience. However when I called the week before and explained to the secretary it was an emergency, I had an abcessed tooth, had no medicine or antibiotic and could I speak to the dentist or get a call back, she did not pass on the message. I had to go to a walk in clinic and wait with the place filled with very sick people to get an antibiotic. My normally low blood pressure was 147 over whatever. The dentist said she would have called back. Other than that it is always a pleasant place.

For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
Putting off dental appointments until you are in pain can lead to a serious oral health issue. Plus, not all dental problems show painful symptoms until they are in the advanced stages. Regular dental checkups give you the advantage of having a dental professional examine your mouth. Detecting oral health concerns in their early stages means less expensive and less invasive treatments.
An ultrasonic cleaning is a method used to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using high-frequency vibrations. Your dentist or dental hygienist uses a handheld device that emits ultrasonic waves and directs a fine stream of water onto your teeth. The vibrations generated by the device help break down and dislodge deposits on the teeth. Ultrasonic cleanings are efficient, effective, and often more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing methods.
