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.
X-rays are taken on a schedule appropriate to your cavity risk and history, not automatically every single visit.
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 George Mason 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. Most patients need this every six months, though some benefit from more frequent visits.
Gum-pocket depths are measured at multiple points around each tooth and recorded to track changes over time. We flag any concerning trends before they progress further.
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. Screening is included in every standard checkup, no separate scheduling needed.
This is a quick add-on to your cleaning visit, not a separate appointment. Both children and adults with higher cavity risk benefit from this.
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.
