If you want a healthy and confident smile, you will need to maintain good oral health through consistent hygiene efforts. This means taking the time to brush and floss as recommended by our prosthodontists at Denver Restorative Dentistry in Broomfield, CO. Your routine dental visits also play an essential role in ensuring your healthiest smile. While it is tempting to become distracted with summer getaways and outdoor activities, it’s still important not to neglect your oral health!
Routine Dental Visits Matter
Regular dental visits, ideally every six months, are essential for optimal preventive care. Don’t postpone or skip these appointments, even if you’re busy with travel and other activities. Neglecting your timely dental visits can have long-term consequences for your oral health.
Dental Exams: Uncovering Potential Issues
Getting a dental exam involves a thorough evaluation of your oral health conducted by one of our experienced prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok. We will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease or other oral health issues. We use cutting-edge diagnostic tools including cone beam 3D imaging, intraoral camera and digital impressions that can make your evaluation precise, comfortable and quick.
Dental Cleanings: A Deep Clean for a Healthy Smile
Regular dental cleanings, also known as dental prophylaxis, are typically performed by our dental hygienists who remove plaque, tartar and stains that cannot be removed even with regular brushing and flossing alone. During your cleaning, our skilled hygienists will use specialized tools to scrape away plaque and tartar buildup, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. Your dental cleaning will also include a professional polishing to remove surface stains to leave your teeth looking bright and refreshed and reduces your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
