Ultimately, our goal for every patient is to be in what we call that regular care, meaning consistent checkups, consistent cleanings. The idea is that by maintaining at that healthy state, we can catch anything before it develops into something more severe and give you the confidence that there aren’t unforeseen circumstances that can catch you off guard.

Just as you should take care of your body by scheduling regular physical exams with your doctor, your smile needs regular care if it’s going to look and function as it should. That’s why routine checkups are such an important part of general dentistry. They give Dr. Beck and our team a chance to check your oral health and provide treatment for any problems we find. The earlier you get treatment, the better the outcome, whether it’s for cavities, gum disease, or another problem.
When you visit us for a cleaning and exam, you’ll receive superior care for your smile. Below are the key components you can expect from your checkup:
- X-rays – Digital and panoramic X-rays will give us up-close views of your teeth, roots, nerves, and bones.
- Dental History – We’ll ask you questions about your past dental work to better understand your oral health.
- Dental Exam – Both your hygienist and Dr. Beck will thoroughly examine your mouth.
- Complete Dental Cleaning – If you’re a new patient, we’ll schedule your cleaning for a separate appointment. Existing patients will get a complete cleaning and tooth polishing using an ultrasonic scaler.
- Treatment Plan – We’ll make recommendations for any treatments needed to either restore or improve your oral health.
