Dental Cleanings & Exams

One of the smartest things you can do for your smile is to visit our dentist and team on a regular basis for your dental cleanings and exams in Wylie, Texas. Your routine checkups give us the chance to thoroughly clean your smile and locate and address any dental issues. Call Wylie Smiles at 972-961-1744 today to plan your visit with Dr. Alekhya Patagarla.

As a part of your oral health routine, we recommend that you visit our office for regular dental cleanings and exams. A dental cleaning involves the professional removal of plaque and tartar (also known as dental calculus) from the surface of your teeth. Additionally, our dentist may floss and polish your teeth to promote a healthier, more vibrant smile. This cleaning can help you avoid future tooth decay and harmful periodontal diseases.

As you meet with us, your checkup may involve the following:

Dental flossing
Fluoride treatment
Removal of tooth stains or discolorations
Screening for tooth decay or gum disease
X-rays to examine your overall oral health
In addition to your cleaning, our dentist can examine the situation of your oral health and help you determine the proper type of treatment needed to preserve and protect your smile. This may involve the use of digital X-rays, which enable us to view a closer look of your teeth and aid us in detecting hidden oral health issues.

These regular cleanings and exams are essential in furthering the overall health of your smile. We encourage patients to visit with us every six months to help avoid the risk of developing tooth decay or gum disease. You can get started by contacting us today for an appointment!
