What’s Included in a General Dentistry Visit

A typical visit brings together several preventive services in one comfortable appointment. Depending on your needs, that may include a dental exam and cleaning, digital X-rays to check for issues below the surface, fluoride treatments, dental sealants for cavity-prone back teeth, and an oral cancer screening. We also offer nitrous oxide for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.

We use digital X-rays and a Medit digital scanner so imaging is fast, comfortable, and easy to review together during your visit.

Why Regular Checkups Matter

  • Small issues like early decay are far easier — and usually less expensive — to treat than problems that have had time to grow
  • Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that a toothbrush and floss can’t reach on their own
  • Oral cancer screenings are part of preventive dental care
  • Consistent care builds a relationship with a dentist who knows your history and your family’s needs

What to Expect

  1. We review your health history and any concerns you’d like to discuss
  2. Digital X-rays and a visual exam let Dr. Nalwala check your teeth, gums, and jaw
  3. A hygienist cleans your teeth and reviews your home-care routine with you
  4. If fillings, a crown, or another treatment is recommended, we walk you through the options in plain language

If it has been a while since your last visit, our new patient information page covers what to bring and what to expect.
