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

I just spent nearly four hours at Serenity Dental, and somehow it felt more like a mini-vacation than a dental appointment — that’s how exceptional this place is. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere truly lived up to the name Serenity. The environment is calming, beautifully maintained, and honestly unlike any dental office I’ve ever been to. Dr. Brinda Nair is in a league of her own. Her skill, patience, and attention to detail made even a long, complex visit feel effortless. She explained everything clearly, checked in throughout the procedure, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares about both the results and the patient experience. The staff deserves huge recognition as well — warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. They treat you like a person, not a chart, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for dental care that feels luxurious, peaceful, and truly patient-centered, this is the place. Four hours in this office felt like time well spent, and I left not only with great results but feeling relaxed — something I’ve never said after a dental appointment. Absolutely recommend Serenity Dental and Dr. Nair to anyone looking for top-tier care. don't grind when you see cuteness or else you'll need mouth guard

Outstanding Care for the Whole Family! Serenity Dental is hands-down the best family dental practice we've ever been to. Our entire family—my wife, our kids, and myself—all go here, and we couldn't be more impressed with the consistent, high-quality care we receive. Dr. Nair is simply wonderful, professional, and has a gentle approach that puts everyone at ease. Dr. Rao is equally fantastic and highly skilled. They both took the time to explain treatments clearly and ensure our kids felt comfortable from a young age. Now that our children are adults, they still make it a priority to schedule their appointments and come home from college during breaks just to see Dr. Nair a true testament to the exceptional care they provide. The entire staff is friendly, efficient, and always goes the extra mile to make our appointments smooth and pleasant. If you're looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and expert dentist for your family, we wholeheartedly recommend Serenity Dental.

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.
