What to Expect
During your visit, our hygienist will carefully clean your teeth and gums, removing plaque and tartar buildup from hard-to-reach areas. Dr. Fakhri will then perform a comprehensive exam, checking your gums, bite, and oral tissues. We may also take digital X-rays to ensure we catch any underlying issues. Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months.
