Whether it's your first visit with us or your tenth, our Teeth Cleaning And Checkup process is thorough enough to actually catch problems while they're still small.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Teeth Cleaning And Checkup, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Tracking pocket depth over time lets us catch early gum disease before it becomes a bigger problem.
We'll explain why an X-ray is or isn't recommended at a given visit rather than defaulting to yes.
A visual and physical oral cancer screening is part of every standard checkup, not a separate add-on.
Your chart tracks pocket depths, staining, and wear patterns over time, not just a single snapshot.
Here's the range of Teeth Cleaning And Checkup our Falcon Heights team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Polishing afterward smooths tooth surfaces and removes surface staining from coffee, tea, or wine. We'll tell you honestly if your interval should be adjusted based on what we're seeing.
Gum-pocket depths are measured at multiple points around each tooth and recorded to track changes over time. Deeper pockets may indicate the need for a more thorough deep cleaning.
Frequency is based on your individual cavity risk, not a blanket annual rule. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than older film technology.
This screening takes just a couple of minutes but is one of the most important parts of the visit. Most findings are entirely benign, but we follow up on anything unusual promptly.
This is a quick add-on to your cleaning visit, not a separate appointment. We'll recommend it specifically when your risk profile supports it.
This trend tracking catches gradual changes that a single visit alone might miss. Ask to see how your numbers have trended if you're curious.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Existing patients can often book their next cleaning before leaving the current visit.
A hygienist handles scaling, polishing, and gum-pocket measurements.
Any areas of concern are flagged and explained clearly.
You'll leave with a clear plan — whether that's just your next six-month visit or something that needs closer attention.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Teeth Cleaning And Checkup treatment with us in the past year.
“They caught a gum-pocket change I wouldn't have noticed myself and adjusted my cleaning schedule before it became a real problem.”
“Appreciated that they didn't just take X-rays automatically every visit — they explained why I didn't need one this time.”
“The oral cancer screening takes two minutes and honestly gives me peace of mind every single visit.”
“They showed me how my numbers had trended over the past two years, which made the recommendation to floss more actually land.”
“Fastest, most thorough cleaning I've had in years, and they explained every step without me having to ask.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Teeth Cleaning And Checkup.
We'll recommend an interval based on what we're actually seeing in your mouth, not a blanket rule.
We avoid taking X-rays more often than clinically necessary.
Tracking this over time lets us flag concerning trends well before they become serious.
It takes just a couple of minutes but is one of the most valuable parts of the visit.
We adjust technique and pressure for sensitive gums, and can discuss numbing options for more involved cleanings.
Yes, we compare each visit's findings — pocket depths, staining, wear — against your prior records.
If you're unsure whether your part of Falcon Heights is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
