Your visit will commence with a comprehensive examination of your mouth, where we will search for signs of decay, gum swelling, or other potential issues. Following the examination, our dental hygienist will meticulously remove plaque and tartar using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, focusing particularly on areas prone to buildup. After the cleaning process, we will polish your teeth to eliminate surface stains, resulting in a smooth finish that helps hinder future plaque formation. Our dentists will then review your oral health status and provide recommendations to maintain optimal dental wellness between visits.
