Dental Checkups & Cleanings – Lewisville, TX
Early Detection for Healthier Smiles
Practicing good oral hygiene at home is among the most effective ways to maintain better dental health.

This is why six-month dental checkups and cleanings in Lewisville are necessary. At Creekview Family Dentistry, we make it easy to be proactive about your smile. All you need to do is call to schedule an appointment so we can provide your teeth and gums with the much-needed attention they deserve.

Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
You might assume that if you’re feeling no pain, you don’t need to see your dentist, but this is far from the truth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings allow our professionals to closely monitor and identify problem areas in their earliest stages. Instead of waiting for cavities to spread to deeper layers of your teeth, we can pinpoint decay before it becomes a serious issue.
At Creekview Family Dentistry, we use innovative technologies and gentle techniques to thoroughly examine all areas of your mouth and remove hardened plaque and tartar, so that your smile (and oral health) remain in the best possible shape over time.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Dental checkups at our Lewisville dental office start with our team ensuring you are comfortable in the treatment chair. We will discuss your medical history and any medications you’re taking, then we’ll take digital images of your mouth to provide a clear view of what's beneath the gumline. Using specialized instruments, we’ll chart your gum tissues to check for signs of recession and look for any signs of tooth decay, cavities, infection, or damage.
We’ll also perform an oral cancer screening to ensure there are no lesions, sores, or discolored patches of tissue that might point to this serious disease. One of our dentists will arrive to review the information and perform their examination before preparing a treatment plan if additional services are required. We’ll discuss our proposal and its expected costs before answering all of your questions and concerns.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Cleaning your teeth during these appointments requires dental instruments that can easily remove hardened plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. Brushing is not enough to remove all surface stains and dental bacteria. This is why we carefully clear out all harmful particles between teeth and on their surfaces, leaving a healthier, fresher smile.
You can also expect one of our team members to explain ways to improve your oral hygiene at home, as well as how to maintain your smile with nutrient-rich foods and proper mouth protection.
