Routine Dental Exam and Teeth Cleaning in Dacula

A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit.  At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will perform the following:

  • Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.  X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
  • Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
  • Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.
Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists.  Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:

  • Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface.  Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
  • Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth.  It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva.  The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums.  This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!
  • Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

Dr. Wenona was able to save a tooth that had a below gumline issue. She referred me to a periodontist then finished the final procedure herself. Prices are reasonable (I'm self-pay) and the staff is positive all the time.

Sometimes its really difficult to express in words or on paper your appreciation. Dr Wenona, you and your staff met and exceeded all my expectations. You made my biggest fear become an easy, comfortable experience. I felt as though I was the priority, not the next customer waiting. You all took your time, explained each of my options and answered all my questions, not once did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Thank you all so much for your patience and for the care you showed me through what could have been a very terrifying experience.
