Why Dental Cleanings & Exams Are Essential

Skipping preventive visits can lead to costly and complex dental issues later. Regular dental cleaning and exams allow us to:

  • Remove plaque and tartar buildup in places brushing can’t reach
  • Detect early signs of decay or gum disease before they worsen
  • Screen for oral cancer and other hidden health conditions
  • Keep your smile looking bright and polished
  • Provide personalized recommendations for at-home care

For most patients, we recommend scheduling every six months.

What Happens During a Visit

When you come in for your routine appointment, you can expect:

  1. Professional Teeth Cleaning – Our hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, polish your teeth, and floss thoroughly.
  2. Comprehensive Dental Exam – Your dentist evaluates tooth structure, gum health, bite alignment, and existing restorations.
  3. Digital Imaging – If needed, digital X-rays provide a detailed look at your teeth and bone health.
  4. Preventive Guidance – We’ll provide tips on brushing, flossing, and nutrition to keep your smile strong between visits.

Answer text goes here

How long does a dental cleaning take?

‍Most visits last about 60 minutes, depending on buildup and whether X-rays are needed.

Is a dental exam different from a cleaning?

‍Yes. The dental cleaning is performed by a hygienist to remove buildup and polish teeth, while the dental exam is performed by your dentist to evaluate overall oral health.

Do I still need cleanings if I brush and floss daily?

‍Absolutely. Even with great at-home care, plaque and tartar can accumulate in areas your toothbrush can’t reach.

Are cleanings covered by insurance?

‍Most PPO plans and Medi-Cal / Denti-Cal cover preventive visits every six months. Our team will confirm your benefits before your appointment.

Can children have dental cleanings & exams?

‍Yes, we provide gentle pediatric care. Learn more on our Pediatric Dentistry page.
