Comprehensive Dental Exams and Cleaning in Downtown Los Angeles

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Preventative Care at Smile LA ​

At Smile LA Downtown Modern Dentistry, we believe that maintaining good oral health starts with regular dental exams and cleanings. These routine visits are essential for preventing dental issues before they start and ensuring that your smile stays bright and healthy. Led by Dr. Kourosh Yousefzadeh and Dr. Razmik Galustian, our team is dedicated to providing thorough, gentle care to patients of all ages in Los Angeles, CA.

Why Regular Dental Exams and Cleaning is Essential

A great preventative dental care plan is a partnership between you and your dental team. While brushing and flossing at home are crucial, they aren’t enough to remove all plaque and tartar that build up over time. That’s why visiting Smile LA for regular dental exams and cleanings is vital to keeping your teeth and gums in top condition.

Benefits of Regular Dental Exams and Cleaning:

Prevent Cavities and Gum Disease

Routine cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, ensuring your mouth stays healthy.

Early Detection of Issues

Regular exams allow us to catch potential problems early, before they become more serious and costly to treat.

Maintain Fresh Breath and Bright Teeth

Professional cleanings polish your teeth and remove surface stains, giving you a fresher, more radiant smile.

Save Time and Money

Preventative care helps avoid extensive dental work by addressing minor issues before they escalate.

What to Expect During Your Dental Exam

During your dental exam at Smile LA, we thoroughly check for any signs of decay, disease, and other oral health issues. Our goal is to stop problems in their tracks and educate you about maintaining optimal oral health.

Your Dental Exam Will Include:

Review of X-Rays

We will carefully examine your x-rays to identify any cavities, bone deterioration, or other underlying concerns.

Gum Disease Screening

We will assess your gums for any signs of swelling, redness, or bleeding, which could indicate gum disease.

Oral Cancer Screening

We will perform a thorough examination of your mouth, face, and neck to detect any abnormalities early.

Check on Existing Restorations

We will evaluate the condition of any crowns, fillings, implants, and other restorations to ensure they are functioning properly.

The Importance of Regular Dental Cleanings

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, leading to dental decay and gum disease. That’s why we recommend that all patients visit us for a professional cleaning every six months.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline.

Teeth Polishing

After cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving you with a clean and shiny smile.

Personalized Care

We provide tailored advice on how to maintain good oral hygiene at home, including brushing techniques, flossing tips, and dietary recommendations.

Caring for Sensitive Teeth

At Smile LA, we understand that some patients have sensitive teeth and may feel anxious about dental visits. We practice gentle dentistry and offer various sedation options to ensure you remain comfortable during your cleaning and exam. Let us know if you have any concerns, and we will work with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your needs.

Prevent Dental Emergencies with Regular Check-Ups

Regular dental exams and cleanings are key to preventing dental emergencies. By catching issues early, such as minor cavities or gum disease, we can treat them before they develop into more serious problems that require extensive procedures. Healthy teeth are also less likely to become damaged during an accident, so keeping up with your dental care is essential for your overall oral health.
