For most Camp Verde patients, we recommend professional cleanings every six months. This frequency allows us to remove plaque and tartar before they cause damage and catch any developing issues early. However, your individual needs may vary. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, or a history of frequent cavities often benefit from cleanings every 3-4 months. During your visit to Verde Smiles, Dr. Timpanaro will recommend a cleaning schedule tailored to your specific oral health needs and risk factors.
Never! We understand that life gets busy, dental anxiety is real, and sometimes dental care falls by the wayside. Our Camp Verde team welcomes patients who haven't received dental care in years, we're just glad you're taking this important step now. We'll never make you feel guilty or uncomfortable about past gaps in care. Instead, we'll focus on getting your oral health back on track with a personalized treatment plan. Whether it's been two years or twenty since your last cleaning, Verde Smiles is here to help without judgment.
Your comprehensive dental exam in Camp Verde includes much more than just checking for cavities. Dr. Timpanaro examines every tooth for signs of decay, cracks, or wear. We check your gums for periodontal disease, evaluate your bite and jaw function, and screen for oral cancer. Digital X-rays (when needed) reveal problems between teeth and below the gum line that aren't visible during clinical examination. We also assess existing dental work like fillings and crowns to ensure they're still functioning properly. Finally, we discuss our findings with you in plain language, answer your questions, and develop a treatment plan if any issues are discovered.
A regular prophylaxis cleaning at Verde Smiles removes plaque and tartar from above and slightly below your gum line. This standard cleaning maintains healthy gums and typically takes 30-45 minutes. It's comfortable, usually requires no anesthesia, and is appropriate for patients with good gum health.
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is therapeutic treatment for gum disease. When gum disease creates deep pockets between teeth and gums, bacteria accumulate in these spaces beyond the reach of regular cleaning. Deep cleaning removes these deposits, smooths tooth roots to discourage bacterial regrowth, and helps gums heal and reattach. This procedure often requires local anesthesia and may take multiple appointments. During your Camp Verde exam, we'll measure your gum pocket depths and recommend the appropriate level of cleaning for your situation.
