Routine dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Total Smiles Of Leland, we provide thorough, gentle preventive visits designed to protect your oral health and identify potential problems early.
Regular exams and cleanings help patients avoid pain, infections, and costly treatments while supporting overall health and confidence.
A dental exam allows our team to evaluate your oral health and identify concerns before they become serious.
During your exam, we may:
Examine teeth, gums, and bite alignment
Check for cavities, decay, and worn restorations
Screen for gum disease and signs of infection
Perform oral cancer screenings when appropriate
Review x-rays to assess areas not visible to the eye
We take time to explain our findings and answer questions so you feel informed and comfortable with your care.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone cannot eliminate. These cleanings are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Our hygienists focus on:
Most patients benefit from dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, patients with gum disease, high cavity risk, or certain medical conditions may need more frequent visits.
Our team customizes preventive schedules based on individual health needs, risk factors, and access to care.
We understand that dental visits can be stressful, especially for patients who have not received consistent care. Our team uses a calm, educational approach to help patients feel at ease.
We explain each step before it happens and prioritize comfort throughout the visit, making exams and cleanings approachable for patients of all ages.
Whether you need preventive care, emergency treatment, dentures, or help overcoming dental anxiety,
our compassionate team is ready to help.
