Maintaining excellent oral health begins with regular dental cleanings and exams. These visits are the foundation of preventive care and allow your dental team to catch small issues before they become major problems. At Summercrest Dental, we offer thorough, comfortable cleanings and exams in Beaverton, Oregon, to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile.
Why Dental Cleanings and Exams Matter
Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar and stains that brushing alone cannot eliminate. Exams help detect early signs of decay, gum disease or other oral health concerns. Our team uses gentle techniques and advanced technology to provide precise evaluations and personalized care.
Dr. Alex Yanchuk recommends dental cleanings and exams every six months, although some patients may benefit from more frequent visits based on their specific needs.
These appointments are essential for:
- Preventing cavities and gum disease
- Monitoring changes in teeth or bite
- Removing hardened tartar and buildup
- Supporting fresh breath and oral hygiene
- Guiding healthy habits and at-home care
Cleanings and exams are also a great time to ask questions and discuss any changes in your dental health or comfort.
ÂWhat to Expect During Your Visit
At our practice, your visit begins with a warm welcome and a comfortable environment. Our team works efficiently to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Your cleaning includes:
- Removal of plaque and tartar with professional tools
- Polishing to remove surface stains and brighten your smile
- Flossing and fluoride if recommended
During the exam, our dentist will carefully check your teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health. We may also take digital X-rays if needed for a more detailed view.
This preventive care approach helps you avoid more invasive and costly treatments in the future, while keeping your smile strong and vibrant.
