Protect Your Teeth & Gums With Regular Checkups

Enjoy Lifelong Oral Health

Regular dental checkups are crucial for staying ahead of oral health problems, and we welcome patients of all ages, including infants. Starting checkups at an early age helps ensure proper development of adult teeth and fosters lifelong dental habits.

By visiting every six months, we can catch infections early and remove plaque and tartar that your at-home routine can’t handle. These visits ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy, protecting your smile for years to come.

Prevent Dental Problems

During your appointment, we’ll take time to understand your oral health needs and perform thorough exams, including digital X-rays if necessary. Our dentist will create a customized treatment plan to address any issues such as cavities or gum disease. A member of our team will clean and polish your teeth, though same-day cleanings may not always be possible.

We may also recommend preventive services like fluoride treatments or dental sealants for extra protection. Follow-up appointments may be needed for restorative treatments or relief for TMJ disorders or sleep apnea. Call 865-685-9939 to schedule dental cleanings and exams in Powell. You can also schedule online.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How much does a dental cleaning and exam cost?

Who performs dental cleanings and exams?

You can get a dental cleaning and exam here. One of our experienced hygienists will clean your teeth and perform an initial exam of your teeth, gums, and mouth. They’ll note any suspect areas that your dentist will need to take a closer look at after coming in to do a complete exam. Between your hygienist and dentist, your smile will get the best treatment possible during your cleaning and exam.

Are dental cleanings and exams necessary?

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day. But that is only part of maintaining good oral health. Brushing and flossing won’t remove dental plaque that builds up and hardens on your teeth and infects your gums. Only a trained hygienist has the skills and equipment to do that, which is why you need to visit the dentist for cleanings and exams about twice a year.
