Keep Your Smile in Top Condition With Harlingen Dental Cleanings & Exams

Dental cleanings and exams in Harlingen may be routine, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important. These general dental services are critical to your oral health.

During exams and cleanings, our team will:

  • Regularly monitor your oral health to lessen the chance of unexpected dental emergencies and costly restorative treatments
  • Detect issues like cavities in their earliest stages while they can be fixed with a simple repair
  • Address your dental questions and concerns
  • Remove the bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease
  • Ensure you leave our office with a smile that looks and feels great

To maintain the best results, we recommend visiting us every six months for a cleaning and exam. To schedule your next visit, call us today at 956-275-7596. Our team always uses a gentle touch, but if you have sensitive teeth, ask about our painless numbing!

We Use Digital Technology for Your Exams

Digital technology has improved the way almost everything is done, from taking photos to listening to music. Add dental exams to that list! We use digital technology for X-rays, cavity detection, and more. You’ll benefit from:

  • Digital X-rays – Digital X-rays are faster and more comfortable, and they use less radiation than film X-rays. Plus, it’s easy for us to share digital images with insurance companies, doctors, or other parties.
  • Laser Cavity Detection – Finding cavities in their early stages is essential to keeping dental damage to a minimum. Our CariVu cavity detector uses laser fluorescence to reveal decay even before it’s visible to the naked eye.

If your teeth or gums are sensitive and you’d like us to numb your mouth for your cleaning, you’ll benefit from our comfortable method of administering local anesthesia. No more uncomfortable stick or sting!

Keep your smile in the best condition possible. For dental cleanings and exams in Harlingen, call Sabal Dental at 956-275-7596. You can also make an appointment online.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams

How long does a dental cleaning and exam take?

Most of the time, a dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. We’ll bring you to the back, possibly take a set of X-rays, thoroughly clean and polish each of your teeth, and give you a complete dental exam. If we see other needs at that time, we’ll let you know how long treatment will take and what the added expense will be.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

We recommend you visit us a minimum of twice a year for a dental cleaning and exam. These regular checkups give us the chance to watch your oral health and spot any dental issues early on. Early detection and treatment of issues like cavities and gum disease indicate less invasive treatment and a better general outcome.

Who performs dental cleanings and exams?

Your doctor and hygienist here at Sabal Dental perform dental cleanings and examinations every day. We advise you to visit at least every six months so that we can watch your oral health and supply early treatment as needed. We provide a variety of other dental treatments also, like restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and Invisalign orthodontics.
