Dental Cleanings
Biannual dental cleanings are imperative to maintaining a healthy smile. During a professional cleaning, your dental hygienist will use dental picks or electric scalers to remove hardened plaque and tartar from the teeth. Dental polishers are then used to smoothen tooth surfaces and remove hard-to-reach plaque. Cleanings usually take between 30 minutes to an hour.

Dental Exams & X-Rays
Typically performed after dental cleanings, dental exams allow Dr. Zulawinski to assess your oral health. Dr. Zulawinski use dental mirrors, picks, and special lights to look for cavities and signs of gum disease. During your dental exam, you will have an X-ray taken of your mouth to check for any underlying dental complications. Our office uses digital X-rays for fast, low radiation, and accurate X-ray scans.

Preventive dental treatments can help patients avoid the necessity for complicated, expensive dental procedures down the line.
Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
Composite fillings are used to repair cavities or fractured teeth. One advantage of composite fillings over metal fillings is that composite fillings can be matched to the color of your natural teeth and are virtually indistinguishable. This makes them good filling options for highly visible teeth. Additionally, composite fillings require less tooth structure removal than alternative fillings.
