Dental exams and cleanings
Review what happens during a cleaning, what the dentist checks, and how often to schedule.
Review cleaningsPreventive dentistry is the regular care that helps patients understand what is healthy, what is changing, and what should be watched before it becomes painful or expensive.
Smiley Dental & Orthodontics can help with dental exams, cleanings, sealants, and digital x-rays for children, teens, and adults.
Prevention works best when visits happen before something hurts.

Review x-raysRoutine care
The value of preventive care is not only the cleaning. It is the comparison from visit to visit: gums, enamel, bite, x-rays, old dental work, and early signs of cavities.
That comparison helps patients understand whether they can stay on a normal schedule or need a specific treatment plan.
