Patient Guide
A good dental exam is not just a quick look. It is a chance to catch cavities, gum disease, tooth wear, cracks, bite problems, oral tissue changes, and old dental work that may be breaking down.
At Astra Dental, cleanings are paired with clear explanations so patients understand what is stable and what needs attention. This helps prevent small problems from turning into emergencies.
If you are overdue, embarrassed, or unsure what you need, the first step is simply getting a baseline.

How We Plan
Astra Dental Details
Regular dental cleanings and exams are vital to maintaining your oral health and preventing future complications.
The American Dental Association recommends that patients visit a dentist twice every year. Most insurances will cover two visits as a result of this recommendation.
A dental cleaning removes bacteria, tartar buildup, and plaque from the surface of your teeth. Your dental cleaning also includes polishing to help your teeth feel smooth and clean.
Common Questions
Many patients come every six months, but gum health and cavity risk may change the recommended interval.
X-rays are recommended when needed to diagnose problems that cannot be seen visually.
If gum measurements, bleeding, and bone levels suggest periodontal disease, a deeper gum-focused cleaning may be recommended instead of a routine cleaning.
It can help when plaque, tartar, or gum inflammation are contributing, but diagnosis matters because bad breath can have several causes.
