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.

I've been going to Serenity Dental for several years now, and every time my experience has been pleasant. Everyone is very friendly. Dr. Nair always asks how I'm doing during any procedures, whether they're simple ones like fillings or more involved ones like a crown replacement. She always asks me to raise my hand if I feel any discomfort or pain, and she will listen and try something different. For the most part, all of the procedures I've had have been pain free. I always enjoy going for my dentist appointments here!

If you're looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about your health and comfort, look no further than Dr. Nair and her amazing team. From the moment you step into the office, you’re welcomed by a friendly, warm atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Dr. Nair is not only extremely knowledgeable but also takes the time to explain everything clearly, making you feel confident and informed about your dental health. During my visit, Dr. Nair educated me on how my bite was causing excessive wear on my teeth, even leading to a chip in my front tooth. They did an iTero scan which was quick and easy thanks to Elisabeth the lead dental assistant. The scan provided a high-tech, visual image of everything Dr. Nair discussed, allowing me to see the wear patterns on my teeth and my bite alignment. She gave me personalized advice on how to prevent further damage and protect my smile, empowering me with the knowledge to take better care of my teeth. Esme, the dental hygienist, did a fantastic job with my cleaning. She was extremely gentle compared to other cleanings I’ve had in the past, and still very thorough. It was one of the most comfortable and detailed cleanings I’ve ever experienced. Every part of my experience, from the attentive staff to the state-of-the-art technology, made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. If you want a dentist who prioritizes your well-being, educates you along the way, and uses the latest technology, I highly recommend Dr. Nair. You won’t be disappointed!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

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.
