What to expect at your checkup, cleaning, and exam
We know your life is busy and that sometimes it feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Our office opens at 7AM for early appointments, letting you fit your cleaning and exam into your schedule. We start our appointments on time and your cleaning/exam will take about an hour.
Your appointment will start by reviewing your records and if needed, taking a few quick x-rays. Then your hygienist will clean and polish your teeth. Next, you’ll meet with your dentist for an exam. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and discuss their findings. If additional treatment is recommended we’ll review your options, work with you to create a custom treatment plan, and then schedule your follow-up appointment right then and there.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing or damaged teeth. They act as artificial roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Most healthy adults who have missing or damaged teeth with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. During your consultation, our team of expert dentists will assess your teeth and gums to see if implants are the right fit for you.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, implants can last 15 years or longer. With the right maintenance, possibly a lifetime.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Mild soreness tends to occur afterwards and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Caring for implants is similar to caring for natural teeth—daily brushing and flossing with regular dental visits. These steps are essential for long-term success.
