Comprehensive Hygiene Experience

Your visit begins with a complete hygiene appointment focused on prevention, precision, and education. Under the guidance of Dr. Nishel Patel, our hygienists combine advanced technology with professional expertise to provide care that goes beyond the routine cleaning.

This level of diagnostic insight allows us to provide truly preventive care — identifying small issues before they become larger concerns.

Your Hygiene Visit Includes:

  • Thorough Cleaning: Removal of plaque, tartar, and stains to maintain gum and tooth health.

  • Periodontal Evaluation: Assessment of gum health and early signs of disease.

  • Wellness Scan: A comprehensive digital scan that captures a 3D model of your teeth and bite, allowing us to monitor changes, track wear, and plan treatment with accuracy.

  • Digital X-rays: Low-radiation imaging for a clear view of bone and tooth structure.

  • Intraoral Photos: High-resolution images taken inside your mouth to show details of your teeth and gums — helping you see exactly what we see.

  • Personalized Home Care Guidance: Tips and tools tailored to your needs for maintaining a healthy smile between visits.

Doctor Examination

Following your hygiene visit, Dr. Patel or Dr. Hughes will complete a comprehensive exam focused on your long-term oral health.

Our Doctors approach every exam as a collaborative process — clearly explaining what’s observed and guiding you through each option. Our goal is to help you make confident, informed decisions about your care.

Your Doctor Examination Includes:

  • Detailed evaluation of teeth, gums, and bite alignment

  • Review of intraoral images and wellness scan results

  • Oral cancer and TMJ screening

  • Discussion of findings and customized treatment recommendations
