Compassionate & Comforting Dentistry

Most children and adults need check-ups and dental cleanings every six months. Fortunately, Brighter Smiles Family Dental care providers are available to keep your oral health in its best shape. During your dental check-up, your Brighter Smiles Family Dental provider also examines your restorations, such as crowns, to make sure they’re in good condition. The main goal of teeth cleaning is removing plaque and tartar from your teeth. A standard cleaning focuses on cleaning the entire surface of your teeth and your gum line. If you have severe periodontal disease, you might need a deep dental cleaning. This treatment extensively cleans your gums to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, gums, and tooth roots.

Your dental exams at Brighter Smiles Family Dental include a careful evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Your provider screens your mouth thoroughly to look for early warning signs of oral cancer as well. Because not all types of damage are immediately visible, your dental exam also includes X-rays. X-rays capture images of the inside of your teeth, root system, and jaw below your gums. With X-rays, your dental care team can monitor changes so they can create a treatment plan when needed. Your provider also checks restorations like crowns and dental implants. After your full dental exam, the Brighter Smiles Family Dental team performs a complete teeth cleaning.
