What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup
Professional Cleaning
Our gentle hygienists will carefully clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease while ensuring your smile stays bright and fresh. We use the latest tools and techniques to ensure the cleaning process is comfortable and effective, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and healthy.
Digital X-rays
We use cutting-edge digital X-ray technology to capture clear, detailed images of your teeth and jaw. This technology allows us to detect issues such as cavities, bone loss, and infections early, without the discomfort of traditional X-rays. Digital imaging reduces radiation exposure, giving you a safer and more efficient diagnostic process while helping us plan your treatment with precision.

Dr. Agrawal will perform a thorough dental exam to check the overall health of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues. She’ll carefully evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums to spot any potential problems early, such as cavities, gum disease, or tooth sensitivity. This proactive approach ensures that issues are addressed before they become more complex or costly to treat.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every checkup includes a comprehensive oral cancer screening. We conduct a careful examination of your mouth, tongue, and throat to identify any signs of oral cancer. Early detection is crucial, and our thorough screenings provide peace of mind by helping protect your overall health.
