Get Thorough Dental Cleanings & Exams

Professional dental cleanings remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup that your regular brushing and flossing can't reach. Our skilled hygienists use specialized instruments to gently clean all surfaces of your teeth, including below the gumline where bacteria hide.

After cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove light surface stains and leave your mouth feeling refreshed. These regular cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while helping your smile look its best.

Comprehensive dental exams catch problems at their earliest, most treatable stages. We examine each tooth for signs of decay, check your gums for inflammation, measure periodontal pockets, and screen for oral cancer.

Digital X-rays provide detailed images of areas not visible during a visual exam, helping us detect problems beneath the surface. By identifying issues early, we can recommend conservative treatments that preserve more of your natural tooth structure. Early treatment is typically less expensive than addressing advanced problems.

Heal Your Gums With Advanced Periodontal Treatment

We offer comprehensive nonsurgical gum disease treatment to restore your oral health without invasive procedures. Our primary approach includes scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning that removes bacteria and calculus from below your gumline and smooths root surfaces to prevent future buildup.

For enhanced results, we may use laser-assisted techniques to precisely target infected tissue. A laser promotes faster healing with less discomfort.

We complement these treatments with additional therapies for maximum effectiveness. Topical antibiotics placed directly in periodontal pockets target stubborn bacteria that cause infection. Antibacterial irrigation flushes away harmful microorganisms and debris from hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and gums.

Our thorough approach helps stop gum disease progression and reduces inflammation and bleeding. It also preserves bone structure and protects you from the leading cause of adult tooth loss.

Serenity Dental and the staff are highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable and caring dental visit. The entire staff is awesome, but I want to give a big shout out to Natalie who assists the doctors during dental procedures. Natalie’s calm and reassuring manner significantly eased any anxiety. Each step of the process was explained clearly, and all questions were answered. Natalie consistently checked my comfort level and provided gentle care, this resulted in a less stressful and positive experience.

I’ve been coming here for almost 5 years. The care is amazing. I feel like a lot of dentists are revenue focused, but here they are health focused, and they’re a part of the community.

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!

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 General Dentistry

What happens during a routine dental exam?
We examine each tooth for decay using specialized instruments and digital X-rays when needed. We check your gums for signs of disease, evaluate existing dental work, screen for oral cancer, and assess your bite alignment. We also record any changes since your last visit and create a personalized treatment plan for any issues found.
How can I prevent cavities between dental visits?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes each time. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth. Limit sugary foods and drinks, especially sticky snacks and sipping sweetened beverages throughout the day. Consider using an antimicrobial mouthwash. Drink plenty of water and chew sugar-free gum with xylitol after meals when brushing isn't possible.
What causes gum disease and how is it treated?
Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup along and under the gumline. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, certain medications, and conditions like diabetes. Early stages (gingivitis) are treatable with improved home care and professional cleanings. Advanced cases require deeper cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, sometimes with antibiotic therapy.
