WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CHECK-UP
THOROUGH CLEANING
Our dental hygienist will examine your teeth and gums and then remove any plague and tartar build up from both the surface of your teeth and in between your teeth. Once that is completed, our hygienist will polish your teeth with a gritty toothpaste followed by a professional flossing. The whole procedure can take between 30 to 60 minutes.
X-RAYS
Dental x-rays are an important part of determining and maintaining your dental health. Generally dental x-rays are taken once a year. There is a small amount of radiation emitted so you will be covered with a shielded apron for your optimal protection. The process only takes about 10 minutes.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
Our dentist after examining your x-rays and consulting with your hygienist and you, will thoroughly check your teeth and gums for any sign of decay or other dental concerns. If there are any suggested treatments, our dentist will go over every possible option and answer any of your questions. Normally an exam will take 20 to 30 minutes.
Dental cleanings and checkups are the front line of defense and offense in your oral health. They help protect you against oral problems and enable us to be proactive in preventing more serious dental problems. Schedule your routine cleanings and checkups at Shadle Smiles, and enjoy dental care in the most luxurious and advanced oral care center in Spokane.
Even the most fervent home oral care routine cannot remove all the plaque and tartar from your teeth. Hidden nooks and crannies still harbor bacteria that promote dental decay. Twice yearly exams and cleanings allow our dental care team to remove these buildups and keep your teeth clean and free from cavities.
Shadle Smiles also offers specific dental care options for the younger members of your family with budding teeth or those who struggle to clean their teeth properly. Ask us about sealants and fluoride treatments when you visit us for a dental exam and cleaning. We can also help younger family members learn how to brush and floss properly for better oral healthcare.
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Comprehensive dental exams allow our dentist to catch signs of developing oral problems early, when preventing them or solving them is easiest and most affordable. Since most preventive care is covered by dental insurance, this also allows you to make the most of your dental benefits and avoid larger costs for more extensive treatments. At Shadle Smiles, we use intra-oral cameras to help us view all portions of your mouth for a more thorough exam. This also enables us to show you anything we find in real-time on a large monitor.
