What To Expect at Desert Sky Dental
Dental Exam
We take x-rays of all your teeth, allowing Dr. Cutler to make sure there are no problems lurking within your teeth or gums. Dr. Cutler will examine your teeth for any decay or bone-loss beneath the gums. The key is checking every tooth for any sign of wear and decay and your gums for any disease, ensuring they remain strong and healthy. If there is any sign of periodontal disease, Dr. Cutler will create a treatment plan to protect your teeth. Our dentists also check for proper tooth position and ensure your teeth are aligned as they should. Your dentist will also examine your fillings, dental implants, and bridgework to discuss his findings. An oral cancer screening can detect problems early and keep you safe.
Your Dental Appointment
Your regular appointment includes not only an exam but also a thorough cleaning of your teeth.
Dental Cleaning
Our highly qualified dental hygienist performs a multi-step cleaning examination that leaves your mouth feeling fresh. Removing plaque eliminates bacteria from your mouth. These little toxins cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Adhesive bacteria are very hard to detect meaning only regular Desert Sky Dental cleanings will keep these bad microorganisms under control. Our hygienist uses specialized equipment to locate and analyze areas that are infected with plaque. Tartar hardens into a cement-like substance that can only be removed by professionals. Once the plaque and tartar have been removed, we polish your teeth to give you a nice clean shine.
Expectations
During your visit, Dr. Cutler and hygienist will evaluate your overall oral health, which includes looking for any tooth decay, root decay or gum or bone disease.
