Consultation

Before your exam and your professional teeth cleaning, our team will gather essential information about your medical history, current concerns, and your oral hygiene routine. This consultation allows us to tailor our approach to your unique needs and preferences.

Exam

Your Houston dentist will thoroughly inspect your teeth, gums, and other oral structures using specialized tools and techniques. This examination may include:

• Visual inspection for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues
• Dental X-rays to detect problems not visible to the naked eye
• Oral cancer screening to identify any abnormalities
• Evaluation of existing dental work, such as dental fillings or dental crowns

Cleaning

After the exam, our skilled dental hygienists will perform a comprehensive cleaning to remove any plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This process typically involves a few steps. First, one of our dentists or dental hygienists will perform scaling to remove hardened plaque and tartar deposits. 

Next, they’ll polish your teeth to smooth tooth surfaces and remove surface stains. Finally, they’ll floss your teeth, paying special attention to hard-to-reach areas between the top and bottom teeth.

Advice

After your appointment, our dental team will provide personalized advice and guidance to help you maintain optimal oral health between visits. This may include recommendations for improving brushing and flossing techniques, dietary suggestions, or product recommendations tailored to your needs.
