Whether you live in Park Hill, Central Park, Lowry, City Park, or Montclair, you’re just minutes away from exceptional preventive dental care.
Why Routine Dental Exams & Cleanings Matter
Skipping your regular checkups can allow plaque, tartar, and early-stage dental issues to go unnoticed — and untreated. During your visit, Dr. Thomas Gent and our skilled team provide:
- Comprehensive oral health evaluations to detect cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early
- Gentle, professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t address
- Oral cancer screenings to identify abnormalities as soon as possible, with early intervention in mind
- Fluoride treatments for added cavity protection when appropriate
A Wellness-Based Approach to Preventive Care
Your oral health is an important part of your overall well-being. That’s why we take time to understand your needs, explain our findings in clear terms, and create personalized recommendations. Our approach is:
- Preventive-first — focusing on stopping problems before they start
- Comfort-centered — ensuring every visit feels relaxed and stress-free
- Holistic-minded — considering how oral health impacts your entire body

The Dental Exam & Cleaning Process
We believe that knowing what to expect can make your visit more comfortable and help you feel confident in your care. Here’s how your appointment will typically go:
- Warm Welcome & Health Review
Our team greets you and reviews your medical history, current concerns, and any changes since your last visit. - Digital X-rays & Imaging (If Needed)
We take high-resolution images to detect cavities, bone health issues, and other concerns invisible to the eye. - Comprehensive Oral Examination
Dr. Gent examines your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, checking for cavities, gum disease, and early signs of other conditions. - Oral Cancer Screening
We perform a quick, painless screening of your mouth, tongue, and throat to detect abnormalities early. - Gentle Professional Cleaning
Your hygienist uses ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar, followed by a thorough polish to remove surface stains. - Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
For added enamel strength and cavity prevention, fluoride can be applied at the end of your cleaning. - Personalized Recommendations & Scheduling
Dr. Gent will discuss your results, answer questions, and create a custom plan for maintaining or improving your oral health.
When to Schedule Your Next Exam
Most adults benefit from dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, you may need more frequent visits if you:
- Have a history of gum disease
- Experience frequent cavities
- Are undergoing orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign
- Have certain medical conditions that affect oral health
If it’s been more than six months since your last visit, now is the ideal time to get back on track.
