We provide restorative dentistry, but it’s better for you if you don’t need it. Professional cleanings and exams are the foundation of our general dental care.
During your visit, we utilize patient-friendly technology, such as digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3-D scanners to detect decay and gum infections. This also aids in planning your treatment.
For your cleanings, we do all we can to make your mouth as healthy as it can be. In fact, we are the first practice certified in Oregon to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy. Biofilm on your teeth has been connected to Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health concerns. We remove this film from your mouth as gently and painlessly as possible with the EMS Airflow®. This removes biofilm from your teeth.

The time needed for these services will vary depending on several factors, including whether we’ve seen you before and what shape your smile is in. Typically, though, it won’t require more than an hour. It will be time well spent, as your teeth will look and feel great!
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.
