Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings
in Westfield, IN
Strong Teeth Begin with Regular Exams and Cleanings
Going to the dentist isn’t at the top of anyone’s list, but still, it must be done. A healthy smile starts with regular dental exams and professional cleanings.
At The Extra Smile, Dr. Tim Hoftiezer and our team provide comprehensive preventive care to help patients maintain strong teeth and gums at every stage of life. Your visit to the dentist doesn’t have to be dreadful when you find an office that prioritizes your comfort and care.
Dental Exams for Overall Health and Prevention
Routine exams are the foundation of long-term oral health. During each visit, Dr. Hoftiezer carefully assesses the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw to catch potential concerns early. Digital imaging and thorough evaluations help identify issues before they become more serious, making treatment easier and more effective.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Even with great brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up over time. Our hygienists use specialized tools to gently and effectively remove these deposits, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
A professional cleaning leaves your teeth feeling fresh and polished, helping maintain a bright, healthy smile.
Oral Cancer Screenings with VelScope
Oral cancer is most treatable when detected early, which is why screenings are an essential part of every dental exam. Dr. Hoftiezer uses VelScope technology to conduct thorough visual and physical screenings, identifying any abnormalities that may need further attention.
This quick, painless exam provides peace of mind and ensures any concerns are addressed as soon as possible.
Dental Sealants for Added Protection
Cavities often develop in the deep grooves of molars, where brushing doesn’t always reach. Dental sealants provide an extra layer of defense, especially for children and teens who may be more prone to decay.
This simple, non-invasive treatment helps protect teeth from bacteria and plaque buildup.
Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth
Fluoride plays a key role in preventing cavities and strengthening enamel. Professional fluoride treatments offer concentrated protection, benefiting both children and adults.
This treatment helps reinforce teeth against decay, especially for those at higher risk of cavities.
A Family-Friendly Approach to Preventive Care
The Extra Smile is proud to provide dental care for patients of all ages. From young children visiting for their first cleaning to adults focused on maintaining lifelong oral health, our team creates a comfortable, stress-free experience.
As the Westfield and Carmel communities continue to grow, we look forward to welcoming more families and helping them build healthy habits for years to come. Schedule your next exam and cleaning with Dr. Hoftiezer and experience the difference of personalized, high-quality dental care.
