New Patient Hygiene and Check-up

Regular checkups are essential in order to maintain not only good oral health, but good general health as well.  A lack of care for your mouth can lead to tartar and plaque build up, which may result in tooth decay and gum disease.  Let us guide you on your path to optimal oral hygiene and a healthier life.

            Key Benefits:

  • Prevent disease and cavities
  • Freshen breath
  • Whiten smile
  • Cleaner teeth
  • Healthier gums 

A regular checkup should last approximately 60 minutes.  During this time one of our qualified hygienists will gently clean the surfaces of your teeth, eliminating any built up tartar, plaque, and stains by using an ultrasonic water scaler and manual scalers.  We will carefully examine your mouth for any existing or potential problems including decay or gum disease.
