Regular dental checkups are the cornerstone of preventive dental care. They allow us to catch potential issues early, prevent the development of serious problems, and maintain the overall health of your mouth. During a checkup, we don't just examine your teeth and gums; we also assess your oral hygiene habits, offer guidance to improve your daily care routine, and discuss any concerns you might have about your dental health.
Many adults skip dental checkups due to fear, time constraints, or the belief that if they aren't experiencing pain, their teeth must be fine. However, many dental issues can develop without immediate symptoms. By the time pain arises, the condition often requires more complex treatment. Regular checkups can help avoid these situations, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
We strive to create a comforting environment where your fears are addressed, offering flexible scheduling and sedation dentistry options to make your visit as stress-free as possible.
Introducing children to dental checkups at an early age is vital for instilling good oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime. Our pediatric dentistry services are designed to be gentle, engaging, and educational, helping to alleviate the fear and anxiety that can come with dentist visits. We focus on creating positive experiences that encourage children to view dental care as a regular part of their health routine.
At our practice, convenience meets quality to provide you with a better dental care experience. We offer convenient, quality, and comprehensive dental care under one roof, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and referrals.

A dental checkup at Anytime Dental Queen Creek typically includes a thorough cleaning, an examination of your teeth and gums, X-rays (as needed), and an oral cancer screening.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't. This process helps prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.
During the examination, your dentist will check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. We also evaluate existing dental work, such as fillings and crowns, to ensure they are in good condition.
The frequency of dental X-rays depends on your individual health needs. Generally, they are recommended once a year for adults to identify any hidden problems within the teeth or jaw. For new patients, X-rays may be taken during the first visit to establish a baseline of oral health.
An oral cancer screening is a routine part of your dental checkup. Your dentist will look for any signs of abnormal tissues or sores in your mouth, including on your tongue, throat, and other oral tissues. This early detection method is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
The American Dental Association recommends that adults and children see their dentist for a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year. However, depending on your specific oral health needs, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Dental checkups are generally painless. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gums, let your dentist know so they can take extra care to ensure your comfort during the cleaning and examination.
If we identify any issues during your checkup, such as cavities or early signs of gum disease, we will discuss your treatment options. Minor treatments may be done the same day, or another appointment may be scheduled.
If you experience dental anxiety, please share your concerns with us. Anytime Dental Queen Creek offers various solutions to help make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible, including sedation dentistry options.
To prepare for your dental checkup, continue with your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing. Also, make a list of any questions or concerns you have about your oral health to discuss with your dentist during the visit.
