Protect Your Smile With Preventive Care

Regular cleanings and exams help you stay ahead of dental problems instead of reacting to them. During your visit, your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, your gums are checked, and any early signs of decay are identified. You leave with a healthier mouth and a clear plan for maintaining it.

Early Cavity Detection

Small cavities are found early, making treatment simpler, quicker, and less invasive. 

Healthier Gums

Professional cleanings remove plaque buildup that can lead to gum disease and discomfort.

Personalized Care Plan

Your exam includes recommendations tailored to your specific dental needs and smile goals.

Fresher, Cleaner Smile

Stains and tartar are removed, leaving your teeth smooth and refreshed and increasing your confidence.

Oral Cancer Screening

Your exam includes a screening to detect early signs of oral cancer for better treatment outcomes.

Peace of Mind

Regular visits reassure you that your teeth and gums are healthy and help you feel comfortable smiling.

Receive Personal Attention at Your Next Dental Exam

Practicing good oral hygiene means you keep to a regular schedule of cleanings and exams. By keeping those twice-a-year appointments, you avoid serious issues like gum disease and other oral health problems. When you visit us for your cleaning and exam, here is what you can expect:

  • We'll take digital X-rays and, if needed, digital photos to get a more detailed picture of your current dental condition.
  • You'll receive a thorough dental cleaning that gets all the areas brushing can miss. Feel free to ask us for a warm blanket or neck pillow so you're more comfortable in your chair. We even have massage chairs in our operatories!
  • Dr. Shook will go over your mouth, looking for any sign of potential issues. She'll also give you an oral cancer screening.
  • We can discuss a treatment plan if you need further care to get your smile back to a beautiful, healthy state.

We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams in San Pedro every six months. Schedule your next appointment by contacting Shook Dental Care today.
