Visit Us Every Six Months For Dental Cleanings & Exams in Sioux Falls

We know it can be tempting to skip regular dental cleanings and exams in Sioux Falls. But don’t do it! These general dental services are the simplest and most affordable way to keep your teeth and gums in top condition.


Regular dental checkups allow us to:

  • Find and treat issues like cavities before they can turn into more serious problems
  • Get to know you, so our team understands your smile goals and challenges
  • Screen you for gum disease, oral cancer, and other health-threatening conditions
  • Use high-tech equipment like intraoral cameras to show you issues that need attention and explain your treatment options
  • Remove plaque and other damaging substances from your teeth

For the best results, we recommend visiting us every six months for an exam and cleaning. To schedule your next appointment, call us today at 605-250-4651.

If you’re a new patient, you can expect to:

  • Review your health history with us
  • Have digital X-rays taken
  • Receive a complete oral exam from one of our dentists
  • Be given personalized options for treatment with a dental assistant if we detect any problems

Lessen the Severity of Problems With Early Detection

As with any medical issue, early detection keeps problems that affect your mouth from becoming serious. We use high-tech equipment like digital X-rays to look for early signs of:

  • Gum Disease – In its early stages, no more than a deep cleaning may be needed to treat gum disease. In advanced stages, you may need gum recession treatment to return your gums to health and prevent tooth loss.
  • Oral Cancer – The survival rates for oral cancer are highest if it is treated before it can spread from your mouth to lymph nodes or other organs.
  • Decay – Small cavities can be treated with dental fillings. Larger cavities will require a crown. If decay gets inside your tooth, you will need a root canal procedure.

Your Exams Are Always Comfortable With Technology & Sedation

We try to make dental cleanings and all our treatment as comfortable as possible. An intraoral camera enables our dentists to examine your mouth with less poking and prodding. We can even share its images with you on a monitor to show you what is going on in your mouth. If you’re especially nervous about your cleaning, ask us if sedation can help you relax.

For dental cleanings and exams in Sioux Falls, call us at 605-250-4651 or .

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams

When should I have a dental cleaning and exam?

It is important to address any plaque and tartar buildup often if you expect to keep disease and decay away. As such, we suggest every six months for preventive visits. That way we will also be able to evaluate your overall oral health and be able to discuss anything that has gone awry in your mouth since your last appointment.

How long does a dental cleaning and exam take?

There are a few factors that come into play. However, our checkups can normally be completed in about an hour, give or take. Keep in mind, if you have stayed away from the dentist’s office for a while, your cleaning could take longer than normal, and if we detect emerging issues, that will require additional time to talk to you about treatments.

How much does a dental cleaning and exam cost?

Here’s some good news: if you carry dental insurance, your policy is most likely going to allow for two of these preventive checkup appointments with cleanings and exams each calendar year. We are in network with Humana, Cigna, The Standard, TeamCare, Principal, Delta, MetLife, Ameritas, and HealthPartners. Call our office to find out more about costs.
