About This Service

What Are Dental Exams
& Cleanings?

Dental examinations and cleanings serve different but complementary purposes. The exam evaluates teeth, gums, tissues, bite, and reported symptoms; the cleaning removes deposits that brushing and flossing cannot fully address.

At Advanced Dental Care, findings from the clinical exam, periodontal measurements, and any necessary X-rays are reviewed together. Oral cancer screening and evaluation of jaw or bite concerns are incorporated when appropriate.

Many patients return about every six months, while those with active periodontal disease or elevated risk may need a shorter interval. We base the schedule and cleaning type on current findings rather than applying the same plan to every patient.

Candidacy

Who Should Schedule
a Cleaning?

Almost everyone benefits from regular exams and cleanings. You are a great candidate if you:

  • Adults and children due for their 6-month exam and cleaning
  • Patients who have not seen a dentist in over a year
  • Anyone with bleeding gums, sensitivity, or dental pain
  • Patients with a history of gum disease or high cavity risk
  • Patients about to start Invisalign, implants, or other dental work
  • Anyone who wants a healthier smile and fresher breath

Book Your Cleaning
Most patients benefit from exams and cleanings every 6 months. However, patients with gum disease, higher cavity risk, or certain health conditions may need visits every 3–4 months. Dr. Talwar will recommend the ideal schedule for your specific needs at your first visit.
Your exam includes a visual inspection of all teeth, gums, and soft tissues, digital X-rays as needed, a full oral cancer screening, bite and jaw assessment, and a thorough review of your overall oral health. We always take time to explain our findings and answer your questions.
Professional cleanings are generally very comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or signs of gum disease, we can apply topical numbing gel or adjust our technique. Many patients find cleanings relaxing once any initial anxiety fades, we go at your pace.
Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans. Preventive care like exams, cleanings, and X-rays is typically covered at 80–100% by most plans. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises.
You are not alone, and there is no judgment here. We welcome patients who have not had regular dental care in a while. We will start with a comprehensive exam, discuss any needed treatment honestly, and create a plan to restore your oral health step by step.
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline and is for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes buildup below the gumline and is prescribed when gum disease is present. Your hygienist will assess your gum health at each visit.
Absolutely. We recommend children have their first dental visit by age one, or when the first tooth appears. Our team is experienced with gentle pediatric cleanings and makes every child feel comfortable and confident about dental care from an early age.
Yes. Many patients combine their cleaning with a professional whitening treatment or take-home whitening trays. Starting with a clean surface gives you the best whitening results. Ask our team about combining services when you schedule your appointment.

  • Doctor Garima Talwar is an exceptionnel dentist ! Not only is she very knowledgeable but she listens to your concerns , she is very patient and kind! She is also trustworthy ! She does not recommend any dental work if she does not believe it is necessary and her fees are reasonable. Her staff is also friendly but at the same time very businesslike . Her dental hygienist is great. Everyone wears an uniform and protection against covid -19. Any visit to her office is enjoyable. As I traveled the world , I had lots of bad experiences at different dentists' offices , to the point that I was afraid to go to see one . Not anymore! I highly recommend Advanced Dental care and Dr Talwar!

  • I’ve only had good experiences with this practice. From the front desk staff to dental hygienist and doctors everyone has been very nice and helpful! This is a great place to go for your dental care. They also do a 3D scan of your mouth to have a better look at your teeth and this is complimentary. I’ve seen every doctor and they are all very nice and do a great job. I just got Invisalign and they helped me save money by getting it with a different doctor in the practice just because my insurance would cover more of my Invisalign with that doctor instead.

  • great doctor! I experienced my first cavity and was anxious about the filling but it was absolutely pain free. she did a great job. the cleaning was also cool because they have this new like water pressure thing that they use to clean your teeth instead of the old fashioned metal things that hurt. i’ve had terrible experiences with dentists in the past but she was great, very kind as well!

  • I had an emergency dental need on a Saturday and they were gladly able to get me in. After taking care of that issue, we had a follow up for exams and cleaning. Everyone was attentive, had a great attitude and very forthright. They took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all of my questions.
