Dental Checkup & Cleaning

At Spire Dental Care, we believe that preventative dental care through regular checkups and professional cleanings is the foundation of lasting oral health. Our comprehensive dental examinations and cleanings go beyond just checking for cavities – we provide a thorough assessment of your entire oral health to prevent problems before they start.

During your dental checkup, our experienced dentists perform a methodical examination that includes:

- Advanced digital x-rays to detect hidden decay, bone loss, and other issues - Oral cancer screening using state-of-the-art detection technology - Detailed gum health assessment to identify early signs of periodontal disease - TMJ evaluation to check jaw joint function and identify potential problems - Bite analysis to ensure proper tooth alignment and function - Examination of existing dental work to ensure its integrity

Our professional cleaning service, performed by skilled dental hygienists, includes:

- Removal of plaque and tartar buildup using gentle ultrasonic and hand scaling techniques - Thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing might miss - Professional polishing to remove surface stains and leave teeth feeling smooth - Personalized oral hygiene instruction tailored to your specific needs - Fluoride treatment when recommended to strengthen tooth enamel

We understand that every patient's oral health needs are unique, which is why we take the time to develop personalized preventative care plans. Our team will discuss your oral health goals, address any concerns you may have, and provide expert guidance on maintaining your smile between visits.

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for: - Early detection of dental problems when they're easiest to treat - Prevention of costly and extensive dental procedures - Maintaining fresh breath and a bright smile - Supporting overall health through good oral hygiene - Establishing a long-term relationship with your dental care team

We recommend most patients schedule checkups and cleanings every six months, though some individuals may benefit from more frequent visits based on their oral health needs.
