Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

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.

Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?

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.

What is ultrasonic cleaning?

​​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.
