Get Thorough Dental Cleanings & Exams

Professional dental cleanings remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup that your regular brushing and flossing can't reach. Our skilled hygienists use specialized instruments to gently clean all surfaces of your teeth, including below the gumline where bacteria hide.

After cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove light surface stains and leave your mouth feeling refreshed. These regular cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while helping your smile look its best.

Comprehensive dental exams catch problems at their earliest, most treatable stages. We examine each tooth for signs of decay, check your gums for inflammation, measure periodontal pockets, and screen for oral cancer.

Digital X-rays provide detailed images of areas not visible during a visual exam, helping us detect problems beneath the surface. By identifying issues early, we can recommend conservative treatments that preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Early treatment is typically less expensive than addressing advanced problems.

Heal Your Gums With Advanced Periodontal Treatment

We offer comprehensive nonsurgical gum disease treatment to restore your oral health without invasive procedures. Our primary approach includes scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning that removes bacteria and calculus from below your gumline and smooths root surfaces to prevent future buildup.

For enhanced results, we may use laser-assisted techniques to precisely target infected tissue. A laser promotes faster healing with less discomfort.

We complement these treatments with additional therapies for maximum effectiveness. Topical antibiotics placed directly in periodontal pockets target stubborn bacteria that cause infection. Antibacterial irrigation flushes away harmful microorganisms and debris from hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and gums.

Our thorough approach helps stop gum disease progression and reduces inflammation and bleeding. It also preserves bone structure and protects you from the leading cause of adult tooth loss.

After years of avoiding the dentist because of anxiety I decided I want to get my teeth sorted out before I’m 40. I could not have picked a better practice. From the moment you walk in the staff are gentle and attentive. Esme was my hygenist for my deep clean. I felt really cared for by her demeanor and level of skill. The handoff to the front desk staff (Hi Anastasia and Bailey!) was seamless. Dr. Nair made a treatment plan for me that feels approachable, especially with the care for anxious patients Serenity provides. Worth the drive from central Austin!

As a person whose entire life, has been a struggle with crippling anxiety just walking in the front door of a dentist office. I can tell you there is something different and wonderful about Brinda Nair, as a care giver, they have the care and the giving part down pat. Moreover nothing feels painted on, there’s no contrivances, they’re trustworthy with their words and clear with their actions. Put it this way, I moved almost one hour away from the office and still make the commute because it’s worth it to me. She has made a real and lasting difference in my life. Jerry Wheat.

Dr. Nair and her team are fantastic. They go through great lengths to ensure their patients are as comfortable as they can be. It's obvious they care about their patients. I've recommended numerous friends and family to go and I'll continue doing so. PS: Esme (like the character from Twilight)...

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What happens during a routine dental exam?
We examine each tooth for decay using specialized instruments and digital X-rays when needed. We check your gums for signs of disease, evaluate existing dental work, screen for oral cancer, and assess your bite alignment. We also record any changes since your last visit and create a personalized treatment plan for any issues found.
How can I prevent cavities between dental visits?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes each time. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth. Limit sugary foods and drinks, especially sticky snacks and sipping sweetened beverages throughout the day. Consider using an antimicrobial mouthwash. Drink plenty of water and chew sugar-free gum with xylitol after meals when brushing isn't possible.
What causes gum disease and how is it treated?
Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup along and under the gumline. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, certain medications, and conditions like diabetes. Early stages (gingivitis) are treatable with improved home care and professional cleanings. Advanced cases require deeper cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, sometimes with antibiotic therapy.
