Checkups & Cleanings: Your First Line of Defense for a
Healthy Smile

At your comprehensive checkup, the doctor will evaluate your teeth, gums, jaw joint function, and occlusion (the way your top and bottom teeth fit together). He’ll use the state-of-the-art ViziLite system to screen you for oral cancer. ViziLite utilizes a special mouth rinse and light to identify suspicious oral lesions. An oral cancer screening with ViziLite is quick, comfortable, and a crucial component of your checkup that just might save your life.

Your first appointment serves as a baseline to determine your current level of oral health and lets the doctor set a course to improve your dental wellbeing. Subsequent checkups enable us to keep an eye on potential issues and provide conservative treatment to prevent your smile from sustaining major damage.

A Healthy Smile & Healthy Body Go Hand in Hand

Periodontal (gum) disease has been linked to many whole-body health complications, including osteoporosis, dementia, heart disease, stroke, low birth weight, and pulmonary issues. During your dental cleaning, the hygienist will remove hardened plaque from your teeth to lessen your risk of gum disease and improve your oral and overall health.
