Dental Exams & Cleanings

Keeping Your Teeth & Gums Healthy

Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our team combines delicate care with innovative technology—like the iTero scanner—to detect issues early and help keep your teeth and gums in top shape.

From thorough oral cancer screenings to treatments such as gum grafts and preventative resin, we provide everything you need to maintain optimal oral health. We focus on building genuine connections with our patients while delivering personalized, affordable care.

What Is a Dental Exam?

A dental exam is a comprehensive checkup that enables your dentist to assess the overall health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We look for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues early before they become bigger problems.

Using diagnostic tools like the iTero scanner, we can get precise digital impressions that improve diagnosis and treatment planning.

Why Are Regular Cleanings Important?

Even with great brushing and flossing at home, plaque builds up daily on your teeth. If left unchecked, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by professional cleaning. Regular cleanings remove this buildup, preventing cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

We recommend a dental cleaning every 6 months, but your dentist may suggest a schedule tailored to your needs.

Additional Services to Support Your Oral Health

We offer a range of treatments designed to keep your smile strong and healthy beyond routine exams and cleanings.

Gum Grafting

Receding gums can put your teeth at risk. Our gum grafting procedure restores lost gum tissue, protects your roots, and helps prevent further damage, giving your smile renewed strength and health.

Dental Fillings

Cavities happen, but that does not mean your smile has to suffer. We use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, bonding directly for a durable, discreet repair that looks and feels great.

Periodontal Disease Treatment

Gum disease can silently damage your oral health if left untreated. Early intervention helps prevent inflammation and protects your gums and teeth from serious harm, allowing you to maintain a healthy foundation for your smile.

Hygiene Sealants

The grooves on your molars are tough to clean and prone to decay. We apply clear sealants that act as a protective shield, reducing your risk of cavities and keeping your back teeth strong for years to come.

Care for Sensitive Teeth

If hot, cold, or sweet foods cause discomfort, your teeth may be sensitive due to enamel wear or exposed dentin. Our personalized treatments help reduce sensitivity and restore your comfort, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods.
