Enjoy a Fresh Mouth With a Professional Cleaning

Thorough dental cleanings help prevent cavities and keep your smile healthy. They also make your mouth look and feel great! They include:

  • Professional Plaque Removal - We gently remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can't reach. This helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Polishing and Stain Removal - Special tools help remove surface stains from coffee, tea, and wine. Your teeth will look brighter and feel smooth.
  • Personalized Care Tips - We show you the best ways to brush and floss, recommend specific products for your needs, and answer questions about your oral health.
  • Gum Health Check - During cleaning, we measure your gums to catch early signs of gum disease when it's easiest to treat.

Our comprehensive dental exams help detect and prevent oral health problems early. Using advanced technology and our years of experience, our team checks every aspect of your oral health.

  • Digital X-rays - Low-radiation images reveal what's happening beneath your teeth and gums, helping us spot cavities and other issues before they cause pain.
  • Oral Cancer Screening - Your dentist carefully checks your mouth, throat, and neck for early warning signs, providing peace of mind and early detection.
  • Bite Evaluation - We examine how your teeth fit together to prevent problems with jaw pain and uneven wear on your teeth.
  • Treatment Planning - Based on your exam results, we create a personalized care plan that fits your needs and budget.

Great dental office - have been going here for over 4 years. Always polite, friendly staff. Have never had to wait for my scheduled appt. AND they have been very flexible the one or two times have been running late. So grateful to have found this dental practice.

I always get great treatment from Dr Gol and his staff. I moved to Richmond, VA. 3 years ago and continue to drive the 2 1/2 hours one way to see Dr. Gol , can't imagine going to another dentist when I already have the best!!

They keep up with the most updated practices. I have gotten cleanings from Dr. Wayson and the office manager. I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Wayson is wonderful. They are thorough and up front about pricing (my insurance isn't great). They don't ever make you feel bad if you haven't been in...

They keep up with the most updated practices. I have gotten cleanings from Dr. Wayson and the office manager. I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Wayson is wonderful. They are thorough and up front about pricing (my insurance isn't great). They don't ever make you feel bad if you haven't been in for awhile, they just welcome you back. I can't recommend enough. My insurance only covers 50% but I will not risk leaving the practice. They are wonderful!!!! I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Wayson as my dentist. I have to go more than usual and I am never dreading my visit.

Dr. Wayson is the best. She figured out the pain I was having in my back tooth and found a solution for it very quickly. The Botox injections Dr. Gol did will help with my pain from grinding during the day. They were painless. The hygienists Tina and Christina did a great job on the scans for...

Dr. Wayson is the best. She figured out the pain I was having in my back tooth and found a solution for it very quickly. The Botox injections Dr. Gol did will help with my pain from grinding during the day. They were painless. The hygienists Tina and Christina did a great job on the scans for both my night guards and Invisalign. I cannot wait to see the final results!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?
The time needed for these services will vary depending on several factors, including whether we’ve seen you before and what shape your smile is in. Typically, though, it won’t require more than an hour. It will be time well spent, as your teeth will look and feel great!
How soon after my cleaning can I eat?
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn't require any numbing or recovery time. However, it's important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it's best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?
If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.
