Dental exam and cleaning: preventive care that everyone needs
Maintaining good oral health starts with regular visits to the dentist. At Havre Dentaire, located in the heart of Montreal's Technopôle Angus, we offer comprehensive dental exams and professional cleanings for the whole family. These preventive care services are essential for keeping your mouth healthy and fully functional.
Why are regular exams and cleanings essential?
Even with excellent oral hygiene at home, it is recommended that you see a dentist once or twice a year for a professional exam and cleaning.
These visits allow us to:
- Take digital intraoral and extraoral X-rays to diagnose cavities, misaligned teeth, bone loss, and other abnormalities (cysts and tumors).
- Visual examination of teeth and existing restorations.
- Examination of the gums.
- Screening for oral cancer.
- A comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your oral condition.
By performing regular check-ups, we can intervene quickly to avoid more complex and costly treatments in the long term.
How does a dental exam and cleaning work?
Our exams and cleanings are performed gently and professionally in a calm, modern environment. Here are the typical steps of a visit to Havre Dentaire:
Complete dental exam
