Dental health care, not disease care
Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care. During your visit, the dentist will check for gum inflammation, bone loss, tooth decay, and other oral health problems — and examine your face, neck, and mouth for abnormalities. We also discuss diet, oral hygiene habits, and demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Our hygienists perform a prophy — a preventative cleaning to remove plaque, calculus, and stain from teeth. In 2012, Zent Family Dentistry updated all of our X-rays to digital, which use up to 75% less radiation than traditional X-rays. Every comprehensive exam includes a visual oral cancer screening, and we offer VelScope® adjunctive screening for every adult patient.

Why preventive care matters
Early Detection
Routine exams catch cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in their earliest stages when treatment is simpler and more effective.
Cost Savings
Preventing problems is always less expensive than treating them. Regular cleanings help you avoid costly restorative procedures.
Overall Health
Oral health is connected to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Good dental care supports your whole-body wellness.
Confident Smile
Clean, polished teeth look and feel their best. Walk out of every visit with a fresh, bright smile you're proud of.
