What to Expect During Your Dental Exam
Your exam will be led by either Dr. Jeff Brammer or Dr. Amber Bigbie, both highly trained and experienced in preventive and family dental care.
We’ll review your medical and dental history, evaluate your teeth and gums, and check for signs of:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Jaw or bite issues
- Oral cancer
- Enamel wear or tooth grinding
If you’re a new patient, we’ll take time to understand your health goals and create a custom treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
For patients interested in esthetic care, we can also discuss options such as Invisalign, teeth whitening, or veneers.
Professional Dental Cleanings: More Than Just a Polish
While brushing and flossing at home are essential, professional cleanings are the only way to fully remove hardened tartar (calculus) and reach areas that daily hygiene can miss.
Our dental hygienists will:
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gumline
- Polish away surface stains for a brighter appearance
- Provide fluoride treatment (as needed) for cavity protection
- Share personalized tips to improve your home care routine

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?
Most patients benefit from a dental exam and cleaning every six months. However, patients with certain conditions — such as gum disease, a history of decay, or dry mouth — may be advised to come in more frequently.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, there’s no need to worry. Our team provides judgment-free care and will work with you to get back on track at a pace that feels right for you.
