·   Even if you meticulously brush and floss daily; your smile still needs a professional cleaning twice a year. Brushing and flossing removes plaque, a soft sticky substance; but calculus, a hard build-up that accumulates on teeth between dental visits, must be removed with our specialized tools. It's like 'spring cleaning' for your mouth!

· Regular dental checkups illuminate what's going on inside your mouth, so we can stop cavities or gum disease in their early stages.  When we see you twice a year, we can identify potential issues long before you can - and catch a problem before it gives you discomfort. A bonus? Early detection invariably equals less costly treatment.

·   One of our most impactful tools is the X-ray taken during your visit. It shows decay, infection and bone loss that aren't visible to the naked eye. The new digital version of X-rays can be enhanced to a large screen, and show even more detail. We can detect the signs of oral cancer, advanced gum disease or abscess with this powerful technology.
