Checkups & cleanings

A checkup is the easiest visit we do. We clean your teeth, look for anything early, and tell you plainly what we see.

Plain answers

The short version

  • What it is

    A cleaning with a hygienist, X-rays when they're due, and an exam with your dentist. We check your teeth, gums and the rest of your mouth, including a quick oral cancer screening.

  • How long it takes

    About an hour for new patients. About 45 minutes after that.

  • Does it hurt?

    Most people find it relaxing. If your gums are tender, we use a numbing gel and a gentler cleaner. Just say the word.

  • What it costs

    $99 for new patients without insurance (exam, X-rays and cleaning). Most insurance plans cover checkups in full.

Good to know

  • If you need more work, you get a written plan with prices. You decide when, or whether, to go ahead.

Questions

Checkups & cleanings: your questions

How often should I come in?

Every six months suits most people. If your gums need extra care, we may suggest every three or four months.

It's been years since my last visit. Is that okay?

Completely. Many of our patients start after a long break. We start where you are, without judgment.
