What happens during dental cleanings?

    Plaque and Tartar RemovalEven with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque can build up and harden into tartar, which can only be removed with professional tools. Our dental hygienists gently scrape away these deposits from above and below the gum line, leaving your teeth clean and healthy.

    PolishingAfter tartar removal, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel, which helps prevent future plaque buildup.

    FlossingFinally, we floss your teeth to remove any remaining particles and to check for any potential trouble spots in the gums that may need more attention.

What happens during comprehensive dental exams?

    Visual InspectionOur Edmond dentist performs a thorough visual inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth, looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.

    Digital X-raysWe may take digital X-rays to get a deeper look at the health of your jawbone, the positions of your teeth, and other areas not visible to the naked eye. These images are crucial for diagnosing hidden problems and planning effective treatments.

    Oral Cancer ScreeningAs part of your dental exam, we conduct an oral cancer screening, checking for any signs of abnormal tissues or lesions in the mouth. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
