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. Early detection during exams saves you money by preventing costly treatments later. Plus, we can spot signs of health conditions like diabetes and heart disease that often show symptoms in your mouth first.

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.

Always super thorough and professional. My hygienist Esme was the best one I’ve ever had. Wonderful conversation that was personal and genuine. Have recommended 2 people to this place and would recommend more.

T. S. (Verified Patient)

I found Dr Nair because her practice was in network and close to my work and home. I FOLLOWED Dr Nair across town because she’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. The new office is a delight, easy to get to, and every single person who works there is patient, professional, kind, and thorough. It’s a pleasure going into a practice where everyone clearly takes such pride in their work. Anastasia was so helpful and welcoming. It’s easy to fall into the habit of avoiding doctors and dentists but Serenity Dental makes me look forward to my appointments. Thank you!

M. C. (Verified Patient)

I recently visited Serenity Dental for a routine checkup and cleaning and had a wonderful experience with Dr. Brinda Nair. She was calm, comforting, and took the time to patiently listen to my concerns before carefully diagnosing my condition. She explained the treatment clearly, performed my filling, and completed the cleaning with great care. Both Dr. Nair and her assistants made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. Overall, it was a smooth and positive experience, and I would highly recommend Serenity Dental to anyone looking for professional and compassionate dental 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.
