Preventive care is one of the most important things you can do for your smile. Cleanings remove the buildup that brushing leaves behind, and exams help catch problems before they grow. These simple visits make it easier to avoid future dental work and feel great about your oral health. Schedule your cleaning and exam today with Savannah Dental in Savannah, GA.
Why Regular Cleanings & Exams Are Essential
Even with good home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Skipping these visits can allow early signs of trouble to go unnoticed, leading to more serious issues over time. Regular cleanings and check-ups help keep your smile protected.
- Stops buildup before it leads to trouble: Removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing alone can’t reach.
- Protects your long-term health: Reduces risk of gum disease, which is linked to other serious conditions like heart disease.
- Keeps your smile bright: Helps polish away surface stains for a cleaner, whiter appearance.
- Supports ongoing wellness: Promotes healthier gums, teeth, and overall confidence.
What To Expect During A Dental Cleaning
When you come in for a cleaning, you’ll get far more than a polish and quick look at your teeth. Our team uses a thorough, modern approach that gives you a complete picture of your oral health.
- Gentle plaque and tartar removal: We carefully clean away buildup in spots your toothbrush and floss can’t always reach.
- Polishing for a smooth finish: Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling clean and refreshed.
- iTero® digital scan: We capture a detailed 3D model of your mouth, which helps us track even the smallest changes over time and plan care with precision.
- NIRI cavity detection: This non-ionizing radiation technology can spot areas of concern up to 30% sooner than x-rays alone—helping us catch cavities before they become bigger problems.
- Digital x-rays when needed: Safe, quick, and precise imaging to reveal what can’t be seen by the eye.
- Personal hygiene tips: Your hygienist will give you personalized advice for brushing and flossing based on what they see in your scan and exam.
- Comfort-focused care: From start to finish, we make sure you feel at ease. Every step is explained, and your comfort is always a priority.
You’ll leave with a cleaner, healthier smile—and peace of mind that your oral health is on the right track.
Personalized Care For Every Patient
Your dental visit shouldn’t feel clinical or stressful—it should feel like a moment to relax and recharge. At Savannah Dental, we’ve designed our office with a spa-inspired atmosphere and a unique comfort menu that transforms the way you experience dental care.
- A calming environment: No harsh “dental office smell” here. We use luxury scent diffusers, soft lighting, and a spa-style playlist to soothe your senses. You won’t hear drilling noises in the lobby—just a peaceful space that helps lower your stress.
- Comfort menu: Choose from wine or beer, noise-canceling headphones, cozy blankets, eye masks, or even a visit from our therapy dog. Whether you pick one or all of them, every option is designed to make your appointment more enjoyable.

Every detail is intentional—because you deserve dentistry that doesn’t just protect your smile but also cares for your overall well-being.
Comprehensive Dental Exams & Advanced Imaging
A cleaning is only part of your visit—your dental exam is where we make sure your whole mouth is healthy and functioning as it should. Our doctors carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw to catch even the smallest concerns early.
To give you the clearest picture of your oral health, we combine a complete exam with the latest technology:
- Digital x-rays: Safe, quick, and precise imaging with significantly lower radiation than traditional methods. These help us spot hidden issues like cavities, bone loss, or infection.
- iTero® digital scans: A 3D model of your teeth and bite, allowing us to track changes over time, plan treatment with precision, and even show you what we see during your visit.
- NIRI (Near-Infrared Imaging): This non-ionizing light technology detects cavities up to 30% sooner than x-rays alone, so we can treat problems before they become bigger, more costly issues.
Together, these tools give you answers that are more accurate, more detailed, and more proactive—so you leave every exam confident in your smile and your health.
Benefits Of Regular Dental Visits
Think of your smile like your car—skipping maintenance may not cause immediate issues, but over time, small problems can turn into expensive repairs. Just like oil changes and tire rotations help your car run longer and smoother, dental cleanings and exams help your teeth and gums stay strong and healthy for life.
- Prevent future problems: Catch small cavities or gum irritation before they become painful (and costly).
- Save money long-term: Routine care lowers your risk of needing emergency or advanced treatments.
- Boost your confidence: A clean, fresh smile helps you look and feel your best every day.
- Support total health: Regular visits reduce oral bacteria and inflammation, protecting your whole-body wellness.
Investing in preventive care now means avoiding breakdowns later—and keeping your smile running smoothly for years to come.
