With a routine exam and cleaning, your Cedar Rapids, IA, dentist can help address concerns in the early stages and ensure you enjoy a bright and healthy smile!
Advanced Technology
We want to diagnose possible oral health issues in the earliest stages, so we can treat them before you develop painful complications. To perform an exam with precision and accuracy, we may use digital x-rays. These employ 80% less radiation than traditional systems, and the images don’t need to be developed in harsh chemicals. Instead, they’re available instantly chairside and allow us to examine the jaws and roots in great detail. To look at the surfaces of the teeth and gums, we have intraoral cameras. The images we gather not only help with a diagnosis, but can be combined to create 3D models and design everything from restorations to oral appliances. To detect cavities in the very early stages of demineralization, we may employ the advanced DIAGNOdent laser detection system.
The Value of an Exam
The exam is a chance to keep an eye on your smile and identify issues before they develop, and that is for both kids and adults too! For children, these visits could help prevent dental anxiety and instill good oral health habits as well. We want to help you better understand your oral health and make better decisions for your smile, and all of that starts with a simple visit for your family.
Keeping Your Teeth Clean
The visit also involves a chance to clean your teeth! Plaque and tartar could lead to tooth decay and gum disease unless removed and brushing and flossing alone cannot remove the buildup. However, with a cleaning we use an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual tool to break up and remove the buildup completely. Along with better oral health, we also have an opportunity to remove teeth stains and combat bad breath. If you have any questions about our routine care or if you would like to schedule a visit, then contact our team today. We want to make 2021 the year you and your family enjoy optimal oral health, so start the year off right with a routine visit!
