It is crucial to maintain healthy teeth and gums, not just for your oral health, but because what happens in your mouth has a direct impact on your overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, many people don’t make oral healthcare like dental exams and cleanings a priority.

At Dental Care of Corona, we want to help you understand why these routine appointments are so important and how they benefit you. We offer comprehensive general dentistry to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile, and it starts with your preventive dental exams.

The Benefits of Working with a Trusted General Dentist

It makes all the difference when you have a trusted dentist in Corona you can rely on. Here are some of the key advantages you'll enjoy.

Avoid Emergencies

When you visit your general dentist regularly for teeth cleanings and checkups, it helps you avoid and prevent dental emergencies.

Personalized Care

Your general dentist takes time to build a relationship with you so they can personalize your care and treatment to your unique needs.

Saves Money

Routine preventive care with your general dentist saves you money when you can avoid costly treatment procedures.

Comprehensive Services

Your general dentist can provide much of the dental care you need to maintain your oral and overall health.

Peace if Mind

Rest at ease knowing your oral health is being monitored and you have an oral specialist to rely on when treatment is needed.

The Importance of Preventive Dental Exams

A laughing couple leaning against a wall | dentist Corona, CAIf you avoid dental exams because you worry about what your dentist will find, think of them as a fact-finding mission because they are as much about prevention as they are detection.

If you develop an issue like cavities or gum disease, we offer tooth fillings, dental crowns, and periodontal treatment. However, we can spare you a lot of time, expense, and discomfort by preventing these problems or detecting them in their earliest stages.

What to Expect During a Dental Exam

First, our Corona general dentist will perform a visual exam to look for cavities and decay and evaluate existing dental work. We will also check your dental bite and look for signs of dental wear that may indicate bruxism or TMJ problems. Oral cancer affects adults of all ages, so every appointment includes a screening.

Current x-rays allow us to treat you appropriately, so we may recommend a new set, depending on how old yours are. Our dentists use intraoral cameras to show you what’s happening with your teeth and gum and then save the still images in your digital patient record.

Many people feel that brushing their teeth twice daily and flossing once may be enough to maintain their oral health. The problem with that assumption is that the bacteria which cause plaque and tooth decay live in every nook and cranny of your mouth, and many of these areas are difficult to access with at-home tools. So, regular teeth cleanings are essential because our hygiene specialists can comprehensively remove plaque and tartar to prevent tooth decay.

Another advantage of regular teeth cleanings is that we can detect other potential dental issues early and often before they require costly interventions. For example, if we identify specific problems with your unique oral health, we can provide preventive dental treatments like fluoride and dental sealants.

How Regular Teeth Cleanings Protect Your Gums

The same bacteria that endanger your teeth' health also may impact your gums and cause periodontal disease. Again, these conditions may be exacerbated by the inaccessibility of certain gum areas, especially between teeth. Dental floss may provide some cleaning in these areas, but our hygienists at Dental Care of Corona can skillfully treat your gums and identify existing damage that may threaten your teeth.

For example, a gum infection may also contribute to an inner tooth infection as bacteria may penetrate your tooth roots via your gums instead of a tooth fracture or cavity. Regular teeth cleanings can help you avoid interventions like root canals in Corona, CA.

It depends on what type of cleaning you need, but at Dental Care of Corona, we offer a new patient special of $195 that includes your regular cleaning and a dental exam, and any necessary x-rays. 

Your teeth cleanings and dental exams should occur every six months, or as recommended by our Corona dentists. Staying current with these appointments is one of the most important things you can do for your family’s oral health.

Seeing you every six months means we can treat small problems like cavities before they develop into serious issues that may be costly or complex to treat. We can also check on existing dental work like crowns, bridges, and veneers to ensure they are in good shape.

Teeth cleanings every six months allow our hygienists to remove the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Without routine dental cleanings to remove these bacteria-filled substances, you can easily develop gingivitis that takes a toll on your oral health.

If we do detect cavities or gum disease, our dentists can take prompt steps to resolve them. Treating gum disease is crucial as studies have proven that it can affect your overall health and well-being.

General Dentistry Technology

AI Technology (How It Improves Patient Care)

AI technology is an advanced system that aids in diagnostics and helps set analytic standards. It is a bit like a second opinion for your dentist without seeking another dentist. It also provides a thorough analysis that complements your Corona dentist’s expertise.

Advanced Dental Technology in Corona, CA

AI technology improves patient care through:  

  • Clinical calibration or a thorough analysis of all possible diagnoses.
  • Practitioner performance or an assessment of all possible treatments measured against the dentist's assessment.
  • Patient participation or the ability to educate and clearly present oral health issues and treatments to patients.
  • Disease detection or proactively looking at older radiographs to predict or assess potential issues earlier or in the future.

This technology helps us better serve our valued patients and set high standards for care. 

We Look forward to Welcoming Your Family!
