At Uptown Dental, we work closely with patients to develop and implement a preventative dental plan that is right for you. Our general dentistry services include a number of preventative services, in addition to an oral examination and cleaning.
Dental Exams
Our goal is to identify and address any dental issues early on to prevent more significant problems in the future. Our team conducts a thorough examination of your entire mouth, including your teeth, gums, tongue, and other oral tissues. This process allows us to identify signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other abnormalities that may require attention.
Following the dental exam, our dentists will provide oral hygiene instructions tailored to your needs, including proper brushing and flossing techniques. Additionally, we offer advice on diet and lifestyle choices that can impact your oral health. If any issues are identified during the exam, our dentists will discuss treatment options and develop a comprehensive plan for addressing and resolving dental concerns.
Teeth Cleaning
Trust our hygienists to provide a comprehensive cleaning experience that goes beyond the surface, promoting a healthy and vibrant smile. During a teeth cleaning, our dental hygienists will perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Your smile deserves the best – let our expert hygienists elevate your dental hygiene experience.
