What’s it like getting a cleaning?

Examination and Diagnosis

During your appointment, our dentist performs a detailed exam to check for cavities, gum disease, or other concerns. We may also take x-rays when necessary to see what’s happening below the surface.

Gentle, fun, and stress-free cleanings for children

Visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be stressful for children. Our Woodbridge dentists make cleanings fun, gentle, and reassuring. During your child’s visit, we’ll count their teeth, gently polish away plaque, and show them how to brush and floss at home. We use kid-friendly language and keep parents involved every step of the way, so little ones leave with healthy smiles and positive experiences that set the stage for lifelong oral health.

More questions about cleanings and exams?

Are dental cleanings and exams covered by Medicaid?

Yes! Routine preventive care — like exams, x-rays, and cleanings — is often included with Medicaid plans. We’re proud to welcome Medicaid patients and will make sure you understand your coverage before your visit.

How often should I come in for a cleaning?

Most patients benefit from visiting every six months. Depending on your needs, we may recommend more frequent appointments.

What happens if I skip cleanings?

Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to cavities, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Routine care helps avoid costly and painful problems later.

Do cleanings hurt?

No. Professional cleanings are gentle and designed to be comfortable. If you have sensitivity, we’ll make adjustments to keep you at ease.

Why do I need dental x-rays?

X-rays help us detect issues not visible during an exam, such as cavities between teeth or early bone loss. We only take them when necessary for your care.

Will a cleaning whiten my teeth?

Our Woodbridge cleaning and exams remove surface stains, making your teeth look brighter. For more dramatic results, we also offer professional whitening treatments.

We accept insurance & Medicaid

We’re committed to making dental care in Woodbridge and beyond accessible for everyone. Our office accepts most major insurance plans and Medicaid, and we’re happy to walk you through your benefits and options.
