How often should I have a dental cleaning and checkup?
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with gum disease or higher risk factors may need periodontal maintenance every three to four months.
What is included in a preventive dental visit?
A preventive visit may include a comprehensive exam, professional cleaning, digital X-rays when needed, oral cancer screening, gum evaluation, polishing, flossing, and personalized home care recommendations.
Do I need dental X-rays at every visit?
Not always. Digital X-rays are recommended based on your dental history, symptoms, risk factors, and when your dentist needs to evaluate areas that cannot be seen visually.
Prevention is the foundation of a healthy smile. By combining advanced technology with thorough, personalized care, we can catch problems early and help you maintain your teeth for life.

Can new patients schedule a cleaning first?
Yes. New patients are welcome to schedule a preventive visit. The dentist will first evaluate your teeth, gums, and X-rays to determine the safest and most appropriate type of cleaning.
Is preventive care covered by insurance?
Many insurance dental plans cover routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays at regular intervals. We can help verify your benefits before your visit.
