Dental Cleanings & Exams
Patients at our practice rely on dental cleanings and exams to prevent disease, track changes over time, and keep their smiles healthy. A routine appointment includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, polishing to smooth tooth surfaces, and a comprehensive exam that checks teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and soft tissues. When helpful, dental x-rays are taken, and many visits include an oral cancer screening and home care review.

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants offer a simple way to protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth from decay. These thin, protective coatings bond to the pits and fissures on the tops of molars and premolars, blocking debris and acids that can lead to cavities. Sealants are most common for children around ages 6 to 12, but teens and cavity-prone adults can also benefit.
- Thin protective coating for back teeth
- Prevents cavities on chewing surfaces
- Quick, comfortable appointment with no injections
- Long-lasting protection for several years
- Safe for children, teens, and adults
Oral Cancer Screening
Routine oral cancer screening helps identify tissue changes in the mouth at an early stage. This quick, painless check is part of a comprehensive dental exam and supports long-term health for adults of all ages. The screening looks for suspicious spots, sores, or texture changes on the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, roof and floor of the mouth, and the throat area.
- Visual and tactile examination of all oral tissues
- Screening of lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat
- Early detection improves treatment outcomes
- Quick, painless, and noninvasive
- Part of every comprehensive dental exam
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction helps protect overall oral health. Dentists recommend removal for deep decay, cracked teeth below the gumline, advanced gum disease, severe infection, crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. Both simple and surgical extractions use local anesthetic and are planned based on a clinical exam and dental X-rays.
- Simple and surgical extractions
- Wisdom tooth removal
- Comfortable procedure with local anesthesia
