Benefits of Dental Cleanings & Exams
Keep Your Smile Healthier, Longer
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot eliminate, helping prevent cavities, gum disease and bad breath.
Catch Problems Early
Exams allow Dr. Kim to detect early signs of decay, infection, cracks, gum inflammation and other concerns before they become painful or costly.
Brighter, Fresher Appearance
Polishing removes surface stains for a naturally brighter look and a fresh, clean feel after every visit.
Protect Your Gums
Routine cleanings prevent gingivitis and periodontal disease, keeping your gums healthy and your teeth strong.
Avoid Emergency Visits
Consistent checkups help prevent sudden toothaches, infections or dental emergencies.

What Our Patients Say About Us
"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
Do I really need X-rays?
X-rays help us see problems that aren’t visible to the eye, such as hidden decay or bone loss. We only take them when necessary.
Will a dental cleaning hurt?
Cleanings are gentle and comfortable. If you have sensitivity, we adjust the technique to keep you relaxed the entire time.
Why are dental exams important?
Exams help detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, cracked teeth and other issues before they become painful or costly.
What happens during a dental cleaning?
Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth to lift surface stains and flosses thoroughly for a fresh, clean finish.
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
Most patients should come every six months. If you have gum issues or higher cavity risk, Dr. Kim may recommend more frequent visits.
