Prevention Is Key for Optimum Oral Health

Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings in NYC

With a busy lifestyle, it can be tempting to put off routine dentistry. At Advent Dental, we are committed to staying on time in our schedule and to providing thorough, yet efficient, dental appointments so you don’t have to skip essential dental exams and cleanings, which can lead to dental emergencies, costly, complex conditions, and even tooth loss.

Our comprehensive oral evaluations include:

• A tooth-by-tooth exam
• Periodontal (gum) evaluation
• Oral cancer screening
• Digital x-rays (when needed)
• Consultation and medical history update

Each of our dental cleanings is custom-tailored based on our patients’ needs. Typically, twice-yearly visits work well for younger and healthy patients, while those with periodontal disease may require three to four specialized dental cleanings per year. Dr. Philips and our hygienist will discuss what will work best to support your oral health and answer any questions you may have.
