Dental Cleaning Upper St. Clair, PA

Routine dental cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining a healthy smile and overall oral health. At our dental office, we are committed to providing thorough, professional care to keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition. These preventive visits are a cornerstone of dental health, helping to identify and address potential issues early.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your dental cleaning and exam in Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania, are designed to leave your smile feeling fresh and bright while safeguarding your oral health. During the cleaning, our team will:

• Remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing.
• Floss between your teeth to ensure a thorough clean.
• Polish your teeth for a smooth, radiant finish.

The exam portion involves a careful evaluation of your teeth, gums and overall oral cavity. Dr. Jeff Verner will check for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer and other dental concerns. To provide a comprehensive assessment, we may use digital X-rays to detect hidden issues, such as decay between teeth or problems below the gumline.

The Importance of Regular Visits

Regular dental cleanings and exams are about more than just keeping your smile bright — they are crucial for preventing serious dental problems. By removing plaque and tartar buildup, you reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease. Early detection during exams allows our dentist and team to address concerns before they progress into more complex and costly conditions.

How Often Should You Schedule Visits?

We recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months. This frequency allows us to monitor your oral health and provide timely intervention when necessary. However, if you have specific conditions, such as gum disease, we may suggest more frequent appointments.
