Exams And Cleanings

Maintaining optimal oral health begins with regular preventive dental checkups and professional cleanings. At Livingston Dental Group, our seasoned dentist and skilled hygienists provide comprehensive exams utilizing cutting-edge technology, complemented by meticulous cleanings tailored to meet your specific needs.

Comprehensive Clinical and Diagnostic Dental Exams

During your thorough exam visits, our dentist completes precise assessments of your teeth, gums, tongue, jaws and other tissues. We also utilize advanced diagnostic technology like intraoral cameras and digital dental x-rays for accurate evaluations below the surfaces invisible to the naked eye. Any early signs of tooth decay, infection, gum disease or other issues can be immediately treated.

Professional Dental Cleanings and Polishing

Our licensed dental hygienists provide gentle cleanings to remove harmful bacterial plaque buildup above and below the gumline. Our meticulous scaling and root planing procedures use advanced ultrasonic devices and hand tools, ensuring a comfortable removal of bacteria that standard brushing and flossing might miss. The teeth polishing, utilizing specialized paste, further smoothens surfaces and eliminates stains.
