Dental Exams & Cleanings in Northwest Oklahoma City
Stay on top of your oral health with preventive care that fits your lifestyle. At Legacy Family Dentistry in Northwest OKC, routine dental exams and cleanings help protect your smile and keep you feeling confident — every day.
Preventive Care That Puts Your Comfort First
Routine checkups are the most effective way to prevent dental problems before they start. At Legacy Family Dentistry, we make your visits simple and stress-free with a warm, welcoming team and the latest in modern dental technology.
Led by Oklahoma native Dr. Armin Zarkeshan, our Northwest Oklahoma City practice focuses on thorough, personalized care at every exam. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, you’ll leave knowing your smile is in great hands.
What Happens During a Dental Exam & Cleaning?
A standard visit includes both a comprehensive oral evaluation and a professional cleaning. Here's what you can expect:
- A full review of your dental and health history
- Digital X-rays if needed for a deeper look
- Oral exam by Dr. Armin to check for decay, gum health, and signs of oral disease
- Gentle but thorough cleaning by a hygienist to remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Fluoride treatment if appropriate for your age or risk level
- Tips to help improve your brushing and flossing at home
We may also perform an oral cancer screening to ensure early detection of any concerns that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Why Routine Cleanings Matter
Even with good at-home care, professional cleanings are critical. Plaque that sits too long turns into tartar — which you can’t remove on your own. Regular cleanings help:
- Prevent gum disease
- Catch cavities early
- Reduce tooth sensitivity
- Maintain fresh breath
- Keep your smile bright
Missing just a few cleanings can allow small issues to become serious — and more expensive — problems. That’s why we recommend scheduling an exam and cleaning every six months.
