How can we help you?
We love answering patient questions at A Plus Dental because we want you to feel empowered and in charge of your dental health. We've gathered some common questions we hear from patients, but if you don't see the answer you need here, don't hesitate to contact our team.
Preventive Dentistry
For new patients a dental check-up and professional teeth clean take about 45 minutes. For established patients who visit us every six months, an ongoing dental clean takes approximately 30 minutes. Of course, these estimates depend on the condition of your teeth and gums at the time of treatment.
* Treatment timelines depend on patient suitability and clinical needs. Your dentist will confirm your expected treatment timeframe.
Your Dental Checkup in Chelsea Heights: What to Expect
Our dental team takes measures to make you comfortable before starting your check-up or dental cleaning.
Your check-up with the dentist includes:
- A thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums and oral tissues
- Periodic x-rays as needed
- A fissure sealant or fluoride treatment, if warranted
- An oral cancer screening
Your teeth clean is about removing cavity-causing bacteria and tartar from the teeth and gums. These deposits cannot be cleared through brushing and flossing alone. However, it’s important to practice excellent oral hygiene between dental visits.
After your check and clean, we share findings with you and discuss any necessary treatment options. We also encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns with your Chelsea Heights dentist.
