What Happens During Your Dental Checkup
Every checkup follows a clear, comfortable process — no surprises.
01
Comprehensive ExamDr. Huynh examines your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw — checking for cavities, gum disease, wear, and any changes since your last visit.
02
Digital X-RaysLow-radiation digital imaging reveals issues beneath the surface — decay between teeth, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other concerns invisible to the eye.
03
Professional CleaningOur hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach — leaving your teeth feeling clean and smooth.
04
Review & Care PlanWe walk you through our findings in plain language, explain what needs attention (if anything), and give you personalized at-home care recommendations.
What Dental Checkups Can Catch Early
Many dental problems don’t hurt until they’re advanced. Regular checkups catch these issues while they’re still small and easy to treat.
Cavities & Early Decay
Small areas of decay caught early can be treated with a simple filling — before they become painful or require a crown.
Gum Inflammation
Redness, swelling, or bleeding during brushing can signal early gum disease — reversible with prompt professional care.
Plaque & Tartar Buildup
Hardened deposits that brushing alone can’t remove — professional cleaning prevents decay and gum disease from taking hold.
Worn or Cracked Teeth
Chips, wear, or hairline fractures that may need a crown or protective treatment before they lead to bigger problems.
Failing Dental Work
Old fillings or crowns that are cracking, loosening, or deteriorating — caught early before they cause pain or infection.
Bite & Alignment Changes
Shifts in how your teeth fit together that can lead to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, or long-term damage if not addressed.

Dental Checkups FAQs
Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or other risk factors, Dr. Huynh may recommend more frequent visits.

Not always at every visit — but they’re essential for detecting problems that aren’t visible during a visual exam, like decay between teeth or bone loss. We use low-radiation digital X-rays and only take them when clinically needed.
We accept most major PPO insurance plans. For patients without insurance, our Wellness Plan ($24/mo) includes all exams and X-rays free, plus a cleaning at $32 and 25% off any other treatments.
