Chicago Dental Exams - Chicago Dental Cleanings

As your Chicago dentist, Dr. Bagai will complete a comprehensive dental exam at your initial dental visit. At regular subsequent visits, your dental visits will include both a dental exam and a professional dental cleaning.

What to expect from your regular visit to Chicago Dentist Dr. Bagai:

All of your teeth will be examined individually for signs of decay utilizing state of the art dental instruments, and any existing restorations such as fillings or crows are examined for structural integrity. X-rays, gum disease evaluations, and oral cancer screenings for potential problems ensure early detection of potential problems. Chicago dentist Dr. Bagai’s team of Registered Dental Hygienists, perform much of the professional dental cleaning. Dental hygienists will remove both calculus (tartar) and plaque from your teeth and then polish your teeth to create the beautiful healthy smile you desire.

• Tooth examinations—each tooth is examined for structural integrity
• Restoration examinations—each filling and crown is monitored to ensure safety
• Gum examinations—gums are examined for signs of periodontal disease
• Oral health examinations—screening the mouth, face, and neck for oral cancer
• X-rays—By examining the tooth and bone integrity, x-rays ensure early detection of potential problems such as bone loss, tumors, or cysts
• Plaque Removal—removing the film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and produces toxins that inflame gums and lead to periodontal disease
• Calculus Removal—removing the calculus (or tartar) which forms as plaque hardens on the tooth surface
• Tooth Polishing—brushing the surfaces of the teeth to remove stains and polish the surface of the teeth
