Dental Cleanings & Checkups in
Denver, Colorado

What To Expect During Your Visit

At Retro Dental Highlands, we are determined to help our patients achieve a happy and healthy smile. We will use professional tools to remove tartar, plaque and bacteria build-up that you are generally unable to clean by yourself. Following your teeth cleaning, you will meet with one of our dentists, who will check for cavities, oral cancer, gum abnormalities, bite irregularities and other oral issues, that may require attention. Combining regular visits for an exam and x-rays with your daily brushing and flossing will give you the confident smile you desire. In addition, such practices will help protect you from tooth decay, gum disease or tooth loss. Remember, procrastination will never get you the beautiful smile you want and deserve.

Ins And Outs Of Teeth Cleaning

Good oral hygiene is essential to a healthy, confident and beautiful smile. Oral hygiene is also critical to your overall general health. Dental prophylaxis (dental teeth cleanings) will be done by our experienced dental hygienist, including any necessary x-rays and removal of calculus (tartar) and plaque (a sticky film that forms on teeth). Plaque is a growing colony of bacteria which, if left unattended, can cause inflammation, periodontal disease, and tooth decay.

Calculus is hardened plaque that needs to be removed by special dental instruments. After your teeth are cleaned of tartar and plaque, they will be polished to remove stains and remaining plaque. You will then be offered tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help keep your teeth clean and fresh in the coming weeks.
