What We Offer
Cleaning and maintaining your teeth is an essential part of our daily routine as it helps to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and several other oral health concerns. To help you make the process easier, our experienced team offers the following services:
​​
Oral Examinations
Oral examinations in dentistry involve a thorough oral exam of your teeth and gums. We check for plaque and the presence of cavities. Your overall oral health is examined to give you a clear picture of your dental health.
Periodontal Examinations
Using an instrument called a periodontal probe, our team of dentists examines the space that connects the tooth to the gums. These spots are places for bacteria to grow. By measuring each periodontal pocket, we can identify the early onset of gum disease.
Tooth Examinations
A tooth examination involves a detailed examination of your tooth, gums, and entire mouth region. This helps in the proper evaluation of any future risk involved in developing dental problems.
Dental Cleaning
Regular dental cleaning boosts overall dental health and oral hygiene. Your dentist will also check for tartar build-up and inflamed gum problems, if any, before the cleaning process begins.
X-rays
Dental X-rays help your dentist determine your teeth's health, as the images of your teeth and gums give a clear picture of the presence of problems.
