Dental Exam

Regular dental exams are a crucial part of maintaining your oral health. At Village Dental Center, we provide thorough dental examinations to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy. Our experienced team uses the latest technology to detect any issues early, preventing them from becoming more serious.

  • Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.  X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
  • Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
  • Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
  • Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.
Professional Dental Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't reach. Our skilled hygienists at Village Dental Center provide gentle and effective cleanings to keep your smile bright and healthy.

  • Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface.  Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
  • Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth.  It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva.  The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums.  This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!
  • Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.
Why Dental Exams and Cleanings Are So Important

Consistent dental exams and cleanings are vital for maintaining optimal oral health. They help in early detection and prevention of dental issues, ensuring that your teeth and gums remain healthy throughout your life. Here’s why they are so important:

  • Preventing Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Regular care helps to avoid serious dental problems.
  • Early Detection of Oral Health Issues: Identifying problems early means less invasive treatments.
  • Maintaining Overall Health: Good oral health is linked to overall well-being, reducing the risk of systemic conditions.
  • Saving Money on Dental Care: Preventive care is more cost-effective than treating advanced dental problems.
  • Boosting Self-Confidence: A healthy smile can enhance your self-esteem and social interactions.
Here's What Our Patients Are Saying About Village Dental Center

I was recommended to this dentist by a co-worker and I’m so thrilled about it. The receptionist was genuinely kind and helpful and the hygienist was the best I ever had. She was very fun, informative and thorough. Dr. Kaplan was also great and answered all my questions. I typically have a hard time trusting dental offices considering I’ve been to a few bad ones but this one here is (Village Dental Center) is top-notch. I’m so glad I came in, I will definitely refer others to them.

I have had only the best experiences with Dr. Kaplan since I switched dentists a few years ago. He’s smart and very skilled and takes great pride in his work and his staff of dental hygienists and office staff. Very friendly and nice people that make every visit as pleasant as possible. Facilities are very clean and modern with state of the art equipment and processes. Staff retention seems to be very high from what I can see, and that says a lot about the management and culture there. I highly recommend Dr. Kaplan to anyone looking for a good dental practice… and that in itself says a lot.
