What Are Dental Exams & Cleanings?

Routine dental checkups and professional cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Comfort Smiles Ann Arbor, these preventive visits allow us to detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems, and other oral concerns before they become painful or expensive to treat.

During your comprehensive exam, our experienced Ann Arbor dentists evaluate your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and overall oral health. Your gentle cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing simply can’t reach—leaving your smile refreshed, polished, and protected.
