Dental Exams & Cleanings

Routine brushing and flossing at home are essential, but professional cleanings and exams are where small issues get caught before they become big ones. The Canadian Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months — we make it easy with same-day, evening, and weekend availability.

Dental Exams & Cleanings

Why regular visits matter

Routine exams help prevent decay, gum disease, and bad breath, reduce the cost and length of treatment by catching problems early, keep teeth whiter, and support your overall health.

What to expect at your exam

Your dentist will check your teeth and gums for signs of decay or disease, often with the help of digital X-rays. We'll talk through medications, lifestyle factors, and any treatment options like crowns, bridges, implants, or dentures if relevant.

Your professional cleaning

Your hygienist will remove tartar, perform a periodontal exam, floss between every tooth, polish, and apply a fluoride treatment. Cleanings usually aren't painful — but if you ever feel anxious, please tell us so we can adjust.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I come in?+

For patients with healthy teeth and gums, every six months is ideal. Some patients benefit from a 3 or 4-month interval — we'll recommend a cadence that fits you.

Will my insurance cover this?+

Most major plans fully cover preventive care. We bill your insurance directly so you usually pay nothing out of pocket.
