Call 915-336-1322 to book your appointment. No insurance? Our Star City Plan makes preventive care affordable, with coverage for cleanings, exams, and discounts on additional treatments. Dental checkups are a great time to discuss other smile enhancements too, from cosmetic treatments to solutions for TMJ pain.
Consistent dental checkups are key to maintaining a healthy smile and avoiding oral health problems.
These visits allow us to detect issues such as cavities or gum disease in their early stages. We also perform professional cleanings to eliminate built-up plaque and tartar that can’t be removed with at-home care alone.
By visiting every six months, you’ll ensure your teeth and gums remain in excellent condition. This sets the foundation for a healthy smile that lasts for years to come.
During your visit, we’ll take the time to assess your unique oral health needs. This includes a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays when necessary, and a personalized treatment plan to address concerns like decay or gum disease.
A member of our team will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth during your visit, although there may be times when cleanings need to be scheduled for a later date.
For added protection, your dentist may recommend preventive options such as fluoride treatments or dental sealants to keep your smile in top condition. If needed, we’ll suggest follow-up visits to address restorative care or provide relief from TMJ-related discomfort.

For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
Luckily, there’s no reason to wait to eat after your cleaning. However, your teeth and gums may be a little sensitive. So, you may want to avoid extremely hot, cold, or acidic food and beverages for a few hours. Be sure to ask your dentist if you have any concerns about what you can eat or drink after your appointment.
If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.
