Cleanings & Exams in Fort Collins – Preventive Care for a Healthy Smile

At Lakeshore Dental, regular dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of maintaining a healthy smile. We recommend visiting our Fort Collins office every six months for a professional cleaning and comprehensive dental exam to prevent plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.

What to Expect During Your Cleaning & Exam

• Professional Cleaning
  Our skilled dental hygienists will gently and thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains. We’ll polish your teeth to give them a smooth, fresh feel and provide personalized tips to help you maintain good oral hygiene at home.
• Comprehensive Exam
  Dr. Alexa Crete will perform a detailed examination of your teeth and gums, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. We may also take X-rays to get a clear view of areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye, ensuring any problems are detected early.
• Preventive Care Advice
  Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health, which is why we provide personalized preventive care recommendations. Whether you need tips on improving your brushing and flossing routine or advice on maintaining a healthy diet, we’ll help keep your smile in great shape.

Why Regular Cleanings & Exams Matter

Even with excellent at-home care, plaque can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Regular professional cleanings prevent tartar from forming, which can lead to gum disease or tooth decay. Routine exams also allow us to catch small problems before they become more serious (and expensive) to treat.

Personalized Care in a Stress-Free Environment

At Lakeshore Dental, we understand that everyone’s oral health needs are different. That’s why we provide customized care to every patient. Whether it’s your first cleaning in a while or you're staying on top of regular appointments, we ensure each visit is thorough, comfortable, and anxiety-free.
