Dental Exams in Spring, TX
A comprehensive dental exam includes a thorough inspection of your teeth and gums. Dr. Graf will look for signs of decay, gum disease, and other issues. He may also take either digital or traditional x-rays to uncover what is happening beneath the surface. These images will display oral health concerns that would remain unseen otherwise.
Professional Cleanings in Spring, TX
A hygienist will perform your teeth cleaning. The first step is to explore every tooth surface in search of cavities. Any existing fillings or restorations will also be checked for damage or wear. Next, a periodontal exam will be done to look for signs of bone loss, or deep pockets in the gums.
Then, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned. A number of tools are used to remove tartar buildup. Lastly, your teeth will be flossed, polished, and for some, a fluoride treatment will be applied. A dental cleaning is not something to fear. There is no pain involved, but if you suffer from fear or anxiety, let us know. We offer several sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort for the duration of your visit.
Insurance Coverage
A dental cleaning is considered a preventive procedure, so it is usually covered by dental insurance. Our office will contact your insurance company to determine your specific coverage and then charge for any out-of-pocket costs. If you do not have dental insurance, please talk to Dr. Graf about the different payment methods we accept.
