Our Cleanings & Exams Keep Your Mouth in Great Shape

Brushing does a good job of getting rid of plaque. However, it’s not enough on its own. Only a professional can remove the tartar, or hardened plaque, that develops on your teeth. Plus, we can address dental concerns in their early stages for easier treatments. Here is what you can expect during your cleaning and exam:

We will review your oral health history and discuss any issues you’ve experienced since your last visit.
If necessary, we’ll take digital X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and whole mouth structure.
Next, we will do an exam to check for any obvious issues, such as tooth decay, gum infection, or oral cancer.
Finally, we’ll do a thorough cleaning and eliminate any signs of plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth.

If necessary, we may use preventive services such as fluoride varnishes or dental sealants. They give your teeth an extra defense against harmful bacteria. Your entire appointment should take about an hour or so, unless there is a need for restorative treatments. For example, a filling or a crown might be necessary if you have a cavity.

We’ll Help You Achieve a Beautiful Smile

Many patients have a specific vision of the perfect smile they want to achieve. If you have one in mind, your checkup is a great time to discuss your goals. You may consider:

Teeth Whitening – We can eliminate stains with professional teeth whitening. We offer in-house and at-home options, depending on how quickly you want results.
Dental Veneers – Cover up imperfections with these thin porcelain shells that are bonded to your teeth. They can last for at least a decade or longer.
Bonding – This affordable alternative to veneers can disguise dental flaws, too. However, the results only last for a few years.
Invisalign – If you want straight teeth without metal wires and brackets, these popular clear aligners may be perfect for you.

We can’t wait to see your smile! Get dental cleanings and exams in Redfield by calling 605-460-6468 for an appointment.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

A dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour for most patients. 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 do a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations for a healthy smile.

How soon after my cleaning can I eat?

It all depends on the type of treatment you receive during your appointment. If our dental team has applied fluoride treatments to your teeth, you’ll want to wait at least 30 minutes before you eat. Otherwise, there’s no reason to wait at all! However, many people prefer to wait awhile since their teeth and gums may feel slightly sensitive after cleaning.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

You should visit us every six months for these essential services to get the maximum benefit from exams and cleanings. We remove the bacteria that cause disease and decay, lessening the chance you will suffer from cavities or gum disease. We also use digital X-rays to identify issues that may need attention.
