Dental Cleanings & Exams

At Fox Chapel Dental Care, our dental cleanings and exams are designed to keep your smile healthy, bright, and free of disease. Our experienced hygienists use advanced ultrasonic scalers, known as Cavitrons, to gently and effectively remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. This modern tool uses high-frequency sound waves and water to clean more efficiently and comfortably than traditional hand scaling alone—especially in hard-to-reach areas.

During your visit, we also use updated digital technology to perform a comprehensive exam. This includes checking for cavities, gum health, and signs of oral cancer. Our digital X-rays and intraoral imaging allow us to detect issues early and develop personalized treatment plans with precision.

Regular cleanings and exams not only maintain your oral health but can also prevent more serious dental problems down the road. Experience a more thorough, comfortable cleaning with our state-of-the-art approach.
