Keep Your Smile Robust With Dental Cleanings & Exams in San Antonio

Cosmetic Dental Associates brings together comfort and exceptional care for our patients’ dental cleanings and exams in San Antonio. Dr. Moore delivers the high-end atmosphere you’re accustomed to – because routine dental treatment doesn’t have to feel clinical to be done well. Your cleaning and exam will:

  • Prevent smile-damaging problems like cavities and gum disease
  • Screen you for early signs of oral cancer for a better chance of successful treatment
  • Allow you to receive preventive care like fluoride treatments
  • Help you maintain your healthiest, attractive smile
  • Give you full confidence that your grin looks its best

For the best results, award-winning San Antonio dentist Dr. John A. Moore recommends visiting us at least twice a year for a cleaning and exam. Schedule your visit now by calling us at 210-951-4444.

We Get Your Teeth Sparkling Clean

Our dental hygienists may use ultrasonic instruments during your teeth cleaning. These instruments use vibration and water mist to loosen and remove debris. We also use finer hand instruments to remove smaller deposits and to smooth out your tooth surfaces. To make your teeth sparkle, we will polish them with paste that comes in a variety of appealing flavors like pina colada.

To reap the most benefits from a fluoride varnish or treatment, you can request that we apply it to your teeth immediately following your dental cleaning. Your teeth will be completely free of any plaque and will be able to better absorb the tooth-strengthening fluoride.

Receive a Thorough Dental Exam to Avoid Bigger Oral Health Issues

Dental exams are extremely important because they give Dr. Moore an opportunity to take a closer look at your mouth. Digital X-rays can reveal whether there are any oral health issues beyond what meets the eye. We’ll do an oral cancer screening using VELscope®, a World Health Organization–recognized, award-winning technology.

Of course, we will also look for cavities. A cavity in its early stages will only require a filling, while leaving one untreated for an extended period may need a root canal and a crown for repair. Regular checkups can also prevent gum disease or the progression of gum disease known as periodontitis.

For San Antonio dental cleanings and exams that feel like a treat for your teeth, visit Cosmetic Dental Associates. Call 210-951-4444 today. You can also make an appointment online.

How long does a dental cleaning and exam take?

For the majority of our patients, a dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. During this time we might take a set of X-rays, then your hygienist will look over your mouth for any obvious issues. You'll also get a total teeth polishing and cleaning to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your mouth. Your dentist will then perform a total dental exam.

We advise you to visit us a minimum of twice a year for a dental cleaning and examination. These routine examinations let us keep an eye on your oral health and identify any dental issues early on. Early detection and treatment of issues like cavities and gum disease can help you avoid more intrusive treatment and ultimately lead to better overall health.

Your dentist and hygienist here at Cosmetic Dental Associates perform dental cleanings and examinations every day. We suggest you visit at least every six months so that we can keep an eye on your oral health and offer early treatment as needed. We provide a range of other dental treatments also, consisting of restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign orthodontics, and much more.

Dr. Moore cautions patients against using hard-bristled toothbrushes that can lead to premature wear and tear on the enamel of your teeth. A soft-bristled toothbrush – manual or electric – is all you need to properly clean your teeth and gums.

You can floss at night or in the morning, just as long as you floss daily. Be sure to use a new section of floss for each tooth. Work the floss gently beneath the gumline, wrap it around each side of each tooth, and work it up and down to remove plaque.

Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we’ll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth in fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.

Even if you take excellent care of your teeth, it’s still possible to miss a spot. The plaque in that missed spot will turn into tartar that can be removed only by a dental professional. Your checkups also give us a chance to take X-rays, conduct an oral cancer screening, and answer any oral health questions you have. We recommend you see us every six months, or more frequently if we’re treating you for an ongoing issue.
