Preventive care is the foundation of a healthy smile. Regular cleanings, exams, and screenings help catch small problems early, before they turn into bigger, more expensive issues. At The Holistic Dental Center, our preventive visits combine thorough, gentle care with a whole-body approach to your health.

A typical preventive visit includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, a full exam of your teeth and gums, and X-rays when needed. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons will also check for early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other concerns, including a screening for oral cancer. Most visits take about an hour.
