Protect & Preserve Your Oral Health

We are ready to help when you come to see us for your biannual cleaning and exam.

Dr. Stanfield and our team will spend a bit more time with you if you are visiting us for the first time. We'll get to know your oral health history and your current needs.

Then, we'll examine your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and other problems and take any necessary digital X-rays. To help you better understand what is going on in your mouth, we can show you what we see with our intraoral camera.

We'll thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, reaching all the areas you miss at home. Your dental team uses an ultrasonic cleaner to comfortably remove hard deposits from your teeth.

We may recommend preventive services, like dental sealants and fluoride treatments, if necessary to safeguard you against cavities and tooth decay. These add an extra layer of protection to your teeth.

After we're done, you'll have the chance to discuss areas of concern or review your smile goals. We'll suggest services to repair your smile, if needed, and create a treatment plan personalized for you.

You may also consider cosmetic services like veneers or teeth whitening, straightening your teeth with orthodontics, or addressing problems like snoring or teeth grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?
That depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth. If you haven't visited a dentist in years, it will likely require more time than usual for your hygienist to remove hardened tartar from your teeth. In addition, you may have more issues you'd like to address with your dentist during your exam. The average time for a cleaning and exam, though, is about an hour.
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 since their teeth and gums may feel a bit sensitive after their cleaning.
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
To keep your teeth and gums in the best possible shape, we recommend visiting our office every six months for dental cleanings and exams. This allows our team to remove bacteria-filled plaque before it can cause any serious problems. It also enables us to find issues like cavities and gum disease in their earliest stages, when they are easiest to treat.
