What areas do you serve near Fairborn?

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

Most patients do well with cleanings and exams every six months. If you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

We remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially along the gumline and hard-to-reach areas, then polish your teeth. If needed, we may also provide flossing guidance and tips to improve home care.

What happens during a dental exam?

Your dentist checks your teeth, gums, bite, existing restorations, and overall oral health. We look for early signs of cavities, gum disease, cracks, and other concerns so problems can be addressed before they become bigger.

Do you take dental X-rays at every visit?

Not always. X-rays are taken when clinically appropriate based on your needs, history, and risk factors. If imaging is recommended, we’ll explain what we’re looking for and why.

Will a cleaning hurt?

Most cleanings are comfortable. If you have sensitivity or gum inflammation, you may feel some tenderness, but we’ll adjust as needed and help you stay comfortable.

What if I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time?

You’re not alone—and you’re welcome here. We’ll start with a thorough, judgment-free exam and make a plan that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

How long does a cleaning and exam appointment take?

Many routine visits take about 45–60 minutes, depending on your needs. New patients or patients needing additional evaluation may take longer.

Do you offer deep cleanings for gum disease?

If we find signs of gum disease, we may recommend a deeper cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria below the gumline and help gums heal. We’ll explain your findings and options before treatment.
