What happens at a checkup
Professional cleaning: Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss, then polishes your teeth.
Digital X-rays: Low-radiation digital X-rays help us spot cavities, bone loss and other issues that are not visible to the eye.
Comprehensive exam: Dr. Patel checks your teeth, gums, bite and any existing dental work.
Gum health check: We measure the space around your teeth to catch gum disease early.
Oral cancer screening: A quick, painless check of your mouth, tongue and throat.
Personalized advice: Tips on brushing, flossing and diet to keep your mouth healthy between visits.
How often should you visit?
Most people benefit from a cleaning and exam about every six months. If you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities or certain health conditions, we may recommend more frequent visits. We will create a schedule that fits your needs.
Preventive treatments we offer
Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and help prevent decay
Sealants that protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth, especially for kids
Gum disease prevention and treatment
Oral hygiene education for children and adults
Why preventive care matters
Small problems are easier, faster and less expensive to treat when they are caught early. A tiny cavity may need only a simple filling, while one left untreated can lead to a root canal or crown. Research has also linked gum health with overall health, which is another reason to keep up with regular visits.
No insurance? No problem.
We accept all major dental insurance plans, and most plans cover preventive visits. If you do not have insurance, our Bliss Wellness Plan offers routine care for one yearly fee, with no deductibles, waiting periods or yearly maximums.
Cleaning and exam FAQs
Do cleanings hurt?
Most cleanings are comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let your hygienist know and we will take extra care.
It has been years since my last visit. Is that okay?
Absolutely. We are glad you are here, and there is no judgment. We will start with a thorough exam and make a plan together.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Digital X-rays use a very low dose of radiation, and we only take them when they are needed for your care.
What is a deep cleaning?
If gum disease is present, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes buildup below the gumline to help gums heal.
Can my whole family come in together?
Yes. We see patients of all ages and are happy to help coordinate family appointments.
