Teeth Cleaning & Dental Check-ups
Prevention is always better than a cure. Our priority as a dentist office in Billings is to keep your teeth healthy and stop any dental problems before they become a nuisance—or worse. We do this in three main ways:
Teeth Cleaning
Our Billings dentist office uses modern technology as well as time-tested tooth cleaning methods in order to properly clean your teeth.
In a professional teeth cleaning, we can remove the tartar that builds up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. It is caused by plaque that mineralizes onto the teeth, which causes severe irritation and in some cases can lead to gum disease. Tartar is not removable at home.
We get those tricky to reach areas for you, allowing you a fresh start to your new dental health. Teeth cleanings with a Billings dentist can also include teeth strengthening treatments if you so choose.
Semi-Annual Dental Check-ups
Regular dental checkups are absolutely vital to your oral and overall health. We use them for so much more than just cleaning your teeth. At these checkups, we look for cavities. We take x-rays, to track your health and check for non-visible problems. We take measurements of the gums and teeth, to make sure that gum and bone recession is not threatening your mouth.
Many dental problems hurt, making it obvious that you need to visit a dentist near you. However, this often doesn’t happen until the problem has progressed much, much farther than it should have. With regular dental checkups, we can spot and fix these troubled areas before they cause you pain.

Laser Use in Dental Hygiene
Our experienced dental hygienists are always looking for ways to effectively control harmful bacteria in the mouth that can contribute to inflammation and infection. Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) and Laser- Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) are advanced dental treatments that offer significant benefits when added to your dental hygiene appointment.
Laser bacterial reduction is a preventive procedure designed to reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, which helps to prevent gum disease, inflammation and infections. It is painless and quick and helps promote healthier gums. Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy is geared towards patients with periodontal disease to target and remove infected tissue while preserving healthy gums. Both treatments provide a safer, less invasive and highly efficient approach to maintaining optimal oral health.
Proper Dental Hygiene
Our Billings dentist office believes strongly in the importance of educating our patients. If your teeth are cleaned once every six months, but not properly maintained in the interim, the cleanings will only be able to help so much. Problems will still develop, despite the careful eye we keep.
At each visit, we will give you any instruction you need, on this topic.
If you have any questions at all about brushing, flossing, and maintaining the health of your teeth, please don’t hesitate to ask. No question is too silly or unimportant to us.
