Your Exams Are an Ideal Time to Discuss Smile Goals

When you come in for your routine exam and cleaning, Dr. Henry will first evaluate your teeth, gums, and mouth for any problems. Next, your hygienist will take a dental history from you and record all important data concerning your teeth and gums. Then they will completely clean and polish your teeth using a state-of-the-art ultrasonic cleaner.

If you have any oral problems that need attention, the hygienist will fill you in on the details. Some of the most common problems we diagnose are cavities, gum disease, and orthodontic issues. Our practice offers care for all these problems, so you won’t need to go anywhere else for treatment. Whenever possible, we’ll emphasize preventive care to keep problems from developing in the first place.

It’s also a good time to discuss your smile goals. We can suggest treatment options:

• If you are missing teeth and want a full smile, we can recommend teeth replacements like dental implants or dental bridges.
• If you want to straighten crooked teeth, we can discuss orthodontic treatment with you.
• If you want to conceal smile flaws, we’ll present options such as dental veneers and dental bonding.
