Dental Checkups
Regular dental checkups are essential for supporting optimal oral health.
Dental Checkups at Maldonado Dentistry
At Maldonado Dentistry, we recommend visiting us at least twice yearly for professional teeth cleanings and examinations. These appointments are a vital part of preventative dental care, as they allow us to detect and address potential issues early and ensure your smile stays bright and healthy.
A comprehensive dental checkup at Maldonado Dental includes several important components. First, we perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. Next, Dr. Maldonado will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to find any potential issues. If needed, dental X-rays are taken to offer a detailed view of your oral health, ensuring that problems like cavities, cracks, or the need for dental crowns are detected early. Our goal is to maintain your oral health and prevent minor issues from becoming major concerns.

How often should you get your dental checkups?
It’s recommended that a dental checkup be performed every six months. However, depending on your oral health, your dentist might suggest more frequent visits. Regular checkups are vital for preventing issues such as tooth decay or gum disease and play a crucial role in supporting the longevity of dental restorations like crowns and bridges. You can count on our team to tailor our recommendations based on your needs to keep your smile healthy.

How long does a teeth cleaning take?
A typical teeth cleaning session lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. This time allows our dental hygienists to thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup, especially in hard-to-reach areas. After the cleaning, our dentist may examine your teeth and gums and discuss any other care you might need, such as a dental crown procedure if a tooth shows signs of significant wear or damage.
