Dental cleanings and exams in Austin benefit your smile in many ways. Professional cleanings remove bacteria that brushing alone can't reach, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Receive a Comprehensive Dental Exam

During your dental exam, we thoroughly check every aspect of your oral health. Dr. Nair or Dr. Rao carefully examines each tooth for decay, checks your gums for signs of disease, and screens for oral cancer with specialized instruments.

We evaluate how your teeth fit together when you bite and assess any existing dental work like fillings or crowns. Your exam also includes a review of your medical history and any concerns you might have about your smile.

We enhance your exam with advanced technology for greater comfort and precision. Our low-radiation digital X-rays capture detailed images of your teeth and bones. For a complete picture of your mouth, we use the iTero digital scanner to create 3-D models of your teeth without messy impression materials. These technologies help us detect problems earlier and plan more effective treatments tailored specifically to your needs.

Experience a Refreshing Dental Cleaning

Our dental cleanings go far beyond what your toothbrush can achieve at home.

Our skilled hygienists gently remove sticky plaque and hardened tartar from all surfaces of your teeth, including hard-to-reach areas between teeth and below the gumline. We carefully clean along your gums where bacteria hide, helping prevent both cavities and gum disease.

After cleaning, we polish your teeth with a gentle abrasive paste that helps remove surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth. You'll leave your appointment with noticeably cleaner teeth, fresher breath, and a brighter smile that feels squeaky clean against your tongue. This rejuvenated feeling will help you see why regular professional cleanings are so essential.

Read Why Our Patients Love Us

Serenity Dental! I cannot tell the interwebs how blessed I am to have found this practice. Everyone on staff is professional, knowledgeable, and so very nice to work with at visits. They make you feel safe and you are well looked after during your visit. I would recommend them to everyone. Just through with my deep cleaning and going back for a filling and crown. Dr. Nair made a plan for me because I need a lot more additional work. Thanks to the plan and the fact that they will work with you and your insurance on payments I will be getting my work completed within the next 2 years. Yes, I need that much work! lol

I’ve been coming here for years! I had a lapse in dentist attendance for a few years prior to joining Serenity Dental and the Doctors helped me calm and informed. All their hygienists and administrative staff are so nice and helpful on every visit and I actually look forward to cleanings now. The location can be a little out of the way if you don’t live closer to West Austin but it’s worth it for consistent and compassionate care.

How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?

Most patients benefit from cleanings and exams every six months. This schedule allows us to remove plaque before it causes problems and catch issues early. Patients with gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions like diabetes may need more frequent visits, typically every three to four months.

Are dental cleanings painful?

You should experience little to no discomfort during cleanings. Our hygienists use gentle techniques and can adjust pressure based on your comfort level. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we offer numbing options. Keeping up with regular cleanings actually reduces sensitivity and discomfort over time.

How long do dental cleanings and exams take?

A typical cleaning and exam appointment takes 45-60 minutes for patients with good oral health. New patients may need additional time for a complete assessment, including X-rays. Those with excessive buildup or who haven't had cleanings in years might require longer appointments or multiple visits.
