Exams & Cleanings

At North Rivers Dental Associates, we are committed to providing you with the best dental care you’ve had in years. Your smile requires special attention and care from our devoted team!

Exams

We are proud to provide comprehensive oral exams during each and every appointment. An evaluation of your teeth, mouth, neck and jaw will be taken into consideration. An x-ray or digital images may be captured to get a better idea of the state of your oral health.

In doing so, regular dental exams are the first indication for early detection of oral conditions so we can treat you as soon as possible.

Cleanings

Plaque is a white, sticky substance that develops from an accumulation of bacteria. If left untreated, this hardens and turns into tartar on your enamel. A scaling instrument is used to remove the latter.

Next, professional tooth brushing is used to clean your teeth. A gritty toothpaste is applied to your teeth and removes any remaining plaque. Flossing is the last step, where we go into hard to reach places to remove food particles between the teeth.

It brings happy tears to my eyes knowing that my smile is fixed. Dr. Jake worked for 2 1/2 hours repairing old, cracked fillings, sealed between my teeth. This weighed on my confidence for three years and I barely ever wanted to talk. My teeth are restored back to their original state and it’s unbelievable what a patient, and kind dentist can do for one’s confidence. I owe ya one, Dr Jake!"

Scheduled my elderly mother a new patient visit and every single staff member we were in contact with was EXTREMELY helpful and so sweet! I’m thinking of switching myself! We couldn’t be happier with this office!
