Process
Initial Assessment: You’ll be welcomed into a treatment room, where a dental hygienist will review your medical and dental history, discuss any concerns and talk through your oral health goals or symptoms.
Professional Cleaning: Using specialized tools, the hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth to lift surface stains and floss thoroughly to leave your smile clean and refreshed.
X-Rays: When needed, digital X-rays will be taken to reveal issues not visible during a standard exam—such as cavities between teeth, bone loss or impacted teeth.

Review & Guidance: After your exam, the dentist will review the findings with you, explain any concerns and recommend treatments or preventive steps if needed. You’ll also get personalized tips on oral hygiene, diet and daily habits to support your dental health.
Schedule Next Visit: Before you head out, our team will schedule your next routine visit—typically in six months—and arrange any follow-up appointments if additional care is required.
