Visit us in Grass Valley for your routine dental checkup.
Why Are Dental Checkups So Important?
A regular dental checkup is the foundation for your oral health. Scheduling a visit every six months is your opportunity to:
- Catch cavities, gum disease, or other dental problems while they're still small.
- Keep your gums and the structures supporting your teeth healthy.
- Get a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from those hard-to-reach places.
- Receive guidance and advice tailored to your specific dental needs.
What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup
Here's what you can expect during your visit:
- Health History Discussion: We'll ask about any changes to your health, medications, and lifestyle, as these can affect your oral health.
- Thorough Examination: Our team will check for chips, cracks, decay, and evaluate your gums for inflammation or disease.
- Advanced Technology: We use modern tools, such as digital scanners and X-rays, for accurate diagnoses.
- Professional Cleaning: Your checkup includes a cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, with teeth whitening options available if you have stains.
- Personalized Plan: We will assess your risk for conditions like decay and gum disease and create a customized dental plan.
- Explanation of Findings: We will review our observations and present treatment options if any issues are identified.

One of our biggest strengths is our welcoming and friendly staff. We have a comfortable seating area in our lobby to ensure you have a pleasant experience from the moment you walk in.

Our Advanced Technology
- Digital Scanning Technology: Our intraoral scanners capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth, ensuring restorations, such as crowns, fit perfectly. This means more comfort for you (no messy molds!) and a better, more durable result.
- Digital X-Rays: This advanced imaging provides crystal-clear images for a precise diagnosis while significantly reducing your radiation exposure compared to old-fashioned film X-rays.

To help your visit go smoothly, please remember to:
- Bring a list of your current medications and supplements, along with any health history notes.
- Don't forget your dental insurance card.
- Come ready with any questions or concerns you have, whether it's gum bleeding, changes in your bite, or cosmetic issues.
After Your Dental Checkup: Next Steps
After your visit, we'll give you a summary of your dental report and any treatments we recommend based on your current dental condition. This might include your treatment plan details and preventive steps you can take. We'll also provide you with essential home care advice to keep your smile healthy and to schedule your next checkup.
