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.

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!

I went to the clinic to have 2 bridge replacements done. The clinic has a beautiful atmosphere and a passionate working staff. The lobby/waiting room has great lighting, and the front office staff was friendly and processed me quickly. The efficiency and patience of the Dr. Nair made me feel like it was so easy and comfortable. I was amazed with the doctor's compassion and concern, and was pleased to receive follow-ups from her for almost a week after the procedure. I would recommend this clinic for their dedication, sincerity, expertise and honesty. Couldn't stop editing my post. If here were higher reviews I would have given that. Amazing... My third bridge look and feel amazing—so natural and comfortable. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the clinic itself is spotless and calming. I felt completely at ease from start to finish. If you're looking for top-tier dental care in Austin with a personal touch, I highly recommend Serenity Dental!

The most caring, thoughtful dentist. I love Dr. Nair as she is always helping to make sure my teeth are healthy, protected, and so clean! Esme is also a wonderful part of Dr. Nair’s team. So lucky to have them and I also sent my husband their way and his teeth look incredible now.

My family has consistently received outstanding treatment, particularly from Dr. Brinda Nair, whose expertise and gentle approach are truly remarkable.

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.

As a dental hygienist myself I can wholeheartedly say that Dr. Nair does excellent dental work. I’ve had very thorough and gentle cleanings by her and her hygienists as well as had a filling placed on one of my front teeth due to a chip in a very visible area and it is seamless with my natural tooth. The color match is perfect. I can also say that the equipment used here is top notch. I choose to get my cleanings done every 4 months and I get them done at the office I work at and here because I trust their work. I’ve been coming here for several years now and Dr. Nair and her team have not changed in their kind nature and fair prices.10/10 would recommend.

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.
