Dental Exams & Cleanings

As an experienced Chapel Hill general dentist, Dr. Saib believes in preventing dental problems before they occur. To keep regular tabs on your dental health, they recommend that patients visit every 6 months for a dental exam that includes a thorough check-up, dental screenings, and cleaning.

Dental Exam
Using state-of-the-art technology including digital X-rays and intra-oral cameras, your Chapel Hill general dentist thoroughly examines your teeth and gums. Today’s dental technologies are so advanced they can detect any decay, cavities, or periodontal disease sooner than traditional X-rays, allowing them to provide early and conservative treatment.

Oral Cancer Screening
It is estimated that 34,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. As with any disease, early detection is essential to successful treatment. As your Chapel Hill general dentist, Dr. Saib provides a visual, oral cancer screening at every check-up.

Teeth Cleanings
Regular dental cleanings keep your teeth white and your gums healthy; they also help reduce your chances of gum disease and tooth decay. Dr. Saib and his team provide fluoride treatments for children and adults to keep protecting your teeth long after you leave the office. For gentle, deep cleaning, the team uses the Cavitron. The Cavitron uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves and water to gently clean above and below the gum line.

If you haven’t been to your Chapel Hill general dentist in the past 6 months or longer, be proactive.
