Regular visits to your dentist are amongst the most important preventive measures to a healthy and beautiful smile.
We believe that the best dentistry is no dentistry, and therefore we put such great emphasis on preventive care.
During your check-up, we will review your medical and dental history and spend time understanding your oral hygiene habits, diet, and dental concerns. When clinically indicated, we will take X-rays to detect underlying issues that cannot be seen through visual examination alone.
After a thorough assessment, your dentist will present his or her findings and discuss required treatments, if any. You will receive a written treatment plan that shows every recommended procedure and the associated cost per treatment. We encourage our patients to play an active part in their care, so if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Following your visit to your dentist, we recommend that you see one of our dental hygienists for your routine cleaning. A scale and polish appointment takes between 30 to 60 minutes and is important in reducing your risk for gum disease and other dental problems.
At times, longer and more frequent appointments are recommended for those who are more prone to gum disease and those who are wearing braces.
