Dental Exam and Teeth Cleaning

A routine dental exam and teeth cleaning is one of the simplest yet most important steps you can take to protect your oral health. These preventive visits help stop small dental issues from turning into painful or expensive problems while keeping your smile clean, healthy, and confident.


What Happens During a Dental Exam

A dental exam is more than just a quick look at your teeth. It’s a complete evaluation of your oral health that helps detect early signs of dental problems before they progress

This was a new patient appointment. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming. The hygienist did a thorough workup and history. The cleaning was great. After the cleaning Dr Jensen examined my teeth. I thought they did a really good job. 👍. On the second appointment the technician and Doctor prepared a tooth for a crown. The tooth had had a large filling, then a cavity developed as well as cracks. They explained each step, took pics of the tooth and then showed them to me. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I was pleased with the process and the Doctor and her technician. Well done.

My permanent crown was put on Tuesday. It is a good fit and the bite is great. Very happy.

Dr. Natalie is absolutely AMAZING!!! She was so gentle with my little one and made today go so smooth. She made this process so easy for this momma. Kiddo came out in great spirits and said he loves going to the dentist. That's saying alot from a kiddo who had two extractions, two caps and some filling work done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of my little one. Everyone at this office is amazing, from start to finish! Shandolyn at the front desk is top tier! Corrina you are this mommy's hero for holding his hands to make him feel safe, you are fantastic! 10/10 would recommend!!! Thank you all!

Clean office, friendly staff and knowledgeable dentist. Found myself needing somewhat of an emergency appointment and Staley Dental got me in within 2 hours. Their staff was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Doctor Natalie was super kind and knew exactly how to liberate me from my pain. Within 30 minutes I was back outside, less a wisdom tooth, but much wiser for knowing I have found my dentist for routine care. I highly recommend them! Thank you so much!

Professional Teeth Cleaning and Why It Matters

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can still build up over time. Professional teeth cleaning removes these deposits and helps maintain healthy gums.

How Often Should You Schedule Dental Exams and Teeth Cleaning?

Most patients benefit from scheduling a dental exam and teeth cleaning every six months, though individual needs may vary based on oral health history.
