Dental Exams & Cleanings

Your Personalized Journey to Better Oral Health

Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. These essential checkups allow us to assess your dental health, prevent serious issues, and maintain your smile for years to come.

At Montgomery Dental Centre, we believe that dental visits should focus on treating immediate issues and understanding your overall health, needs, and goals.

When you come to us for a dental exam or cleaning, you’re not just receiving standard service—you’re entering a patient-centred experience designed to make you feel at ease, informed, and in control of your dental health journey.

What to Expect During Your Exam

A dental exam and cleaning is a professional service that helps maintain the health of your teeth and gums. During a typical visit, we will remove plaque and tartar buildup, assess the health of your gums and teeth, and identify any potential problems early on.

We aim to keep your mouth healthy and free of cavities, gum disease, or other dental concerns. Regular exams are a great opportunity to catch potential issues before they become serious problems.

Why Are Regular Dental Checkups Important?

Routine cleanings and exams are essential for optimal oral health. While at-home brushing and flossing are key, professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas beneath the gum line. Regular checkups help to:

Prevent gum disease by eliminating tartar and plaque
Detect early signs of decay and cavities
Maintain fresh breath and a polished smile
Minimize the risk of future dental issues

How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

The frequency of dental cleanings depends on your unique oral health needs. While most patients benefit from visits every 6 months, some individuals may need more frequent visits due to factors like plaque buildup, gum disease, or overall oral hygiene habits.

If you are unsure of the ideal cleaning schedule, our Montgomery Dental team will guide you on the best routine based on your dental health.

At Montgomery Dental, we offer a personalized experience that goes beyond the typical dental visit. We take the time to understand your dental history and goals, guiding you through your exam and cleaning with innovative tools like intraoral cameras and the iTero scanner.

Patient screening and oral health review
Professional cleaning, polishing, and stain removal
Examination for disease, cavities, or decay
X-rays to detect issues
Fluoride application and sealants
Oral cancer screening
Intra-oral exams of gums, tongue, and lips

Dental Bonding & Veneers for Tooth Repairs

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your teeth, dental bonding and veneers are 2 great options to consider.

Dental bonding is a quick treatment where we apply a tooth-coloured resin to one or more teeth to repair minor chips, cracks, or gaps. This can be an excellent choice for smaller, targeted fixes that can be completed in just one visit.

Veneers, on the other hand, are thin, custom-made shells that cover the entire front surface of a tooth. They are ideal for more extensive cosmetic changes, such as masking discolouration, correcting the size or shape of teeth, or achieving a more uniform smile.

Every smile is unique, and our dentist can assess your needs to recommend the option that will help you achieve the results you’re looking for. Whether it’s bonding, veneers, or a combination of treatments, we’re here to help you love your smile!
