Gentle Dental Cleanings and Exams for the Whole Family
When was your last professional cleaning? If it has been a while, you are not alone, and you are always welcome here. At Loveland Lakes Family Dentistry, our dental cleanings help children, parents, and grandparents keep their smiles healthy from one visit to the next. We provide dental cleanings and exams in Loveland, CO in a small, personal setting where our team knows your name and takes time to answer your questions. Every visit is relaxed and thorough, and it is centered on you.
What Professional Dental Cleanings Do for Your Smile
Even with careful brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar in spots a toothbrush cannot reach. Tartar irritates the gums and gives bacteria a place to hide. Routine dental cleanings remove that buildup, lower your risk of cavities and gum disease, and leave your teeth feeling smooth and fresh.
Your exam matters just as much. Dr. Jeff Marlor checks your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work for early signs of change. Catching a small problem early usually means simpler, more affordable treatment. That fits our commitment to honest diagnoses and care you can trust.
What to Expect at Your Visit
- Before Your Appointment: New patients can fill out paperwork ahead of time so check-in goes quickly. Let us know about any health changes, medications, or concerns you have. Our team speaks both English and Spanish, so you can talk through your care in the language that feels most comfortable.
- During Your Cleaning and Exam: Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, then polishes and flosses your teeth. We take digital X-rays when they are needed. Dr. Marlor then completes your exam, which includes an oral cancer screening.
- After Your Visit: We review what we found, share simple home care tips, and schedule your next appointment. Most patients return every six months. If we notice signs of gum disease, we may recommend periodontal cleanings or scaling and root planing to bring your gums back to health.
