Contact UsWhy Are Dental Exams and Cleanings Important?
Having regular oral assessments allows you to take a proactive stand to sustain the health of your smile. A thorough dental exam at Elegant Smiles diagnoses tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and various other problems that might be influencing your oral and general health. Usually carried out at biannual teeth cleaning appointments, dental exams enable our doctors to examine the teeth, gums, bite position, jawbone, and further oral checkpoints and might ensure immediate detection and treatment of oral conditions. Even if you are brushing and flossing your teeth perfectly at home, it can still be beneficial to get a professional dental cleaning at Elegant Smiles twice a year. Using state-of-the-art tools, a biannual dental cleaning can remove built-up plaque and tartar while polishing the enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. To maintain the wellness and beauty of your mouth, schedule a dental exam and cleaning at our Las Vegas, NV practice soon.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Patients young and old can benefit from dental exams and cleanings at least twice a year. At our Las Vegas, NV office, a dental consultation begins with a discussion about your health. A team member also may ask about any oral problems or cosmetic smile goals you have to discover more about your total oral wellness. During particular yearly exams, a series of advanced x-rays may be done to provide enhanced insight into the wellness of your teeth and jawbone. Our dentists then will conduct a screening for oral cancer, check the balance of your bite and temporomandibular joints, and assess your teeth for irregularities and the comfort of any dental appliances. A periodontal evaluation might also be carried out to find potential areas of gum disease.
A professional cleaning starts by removing the plaque and tartar that have built up in your mouth, which can be difficult to treat on your own, no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to remove tartar without harming the tooth. First, an ultrasonic device addresses bigger chunks of tartar with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld instruments, like a curette or scaler, will be used to remove smaller pieces. Each tooth needs to be individually scaled to get all the tartar. Once the teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be polished to remove stains and strengthen the teeth. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment can be performed after the cleaning. After your exam and cleaning, your technician can help you develop a good home oral care routine by demonstrating techniques or recommending specific products that may help you with your specific concerns.
Dental Exam and Cleaning Reviews
I have gone to Elegant Smiles several times and each time has been great. The dentists are a husband and wife, and both are very caring and thorough. They really took their time in my first exam and answered all my questions. I had some issues which my previous dentist told me were "normal" but these dentists actually explained potential reasons why they were happening and gave ideas for how I could prevent it. They treated my cavities with care and use new techniques for cleaning and x-rays. Every staff member from hygienists to front desk staff have been so kind and approachable. Highly recommend!

I don't usually leave Yelp reviews for dentists, but after years of consistent, top-tier care, I had to give credit where it's due. If you're looking for a dental office that actually gets it, Dr. Phan and his ( and his wife's lol) team at Elegant smiles are the real deal.First off, Shawntae is the absolute heart of the front desk. She's handled all my scheduling (even when I've had to reschedule more than once), juggled insurance claims like a pro, and somehow makes the most frustrating parts of dental care feel easy. She's warm, super responsive, and genuinely cares--like, she remembers every vacation I've gone on, follows up to see how they went, and overall actually makes me feel like I'm more than just a name on the calendar.Dr. Phan himself? Calm, gentle, and incredibly skilled. He explains everything clearly without being condescending, and you never feel rushed. I've had cleanings, fillings, a not so fun crown and an emergency visit , and every time I leave feeling taken care of, not just treated.The office has a great vive as well . It's always clean, smells amazing (not like a typical dentist office), and has these awesome little details that make all the difference--like massage chairs in the exam rooms and TVs mounted on the ceiling so you can watch Netflix while getting work done. I'm not saying I look forward to going to the dentist, but it's dangerously close.The whole team is incredibly friendly--everyone greets you, smiles, and genuinely seems happy to be there. That kind of energy is rare, and it really makes a difference.I can't thank the team at elegant smiles enough.Oh and the tall dental assistant guy is way too cool but super professional as well Thank you team!!

About UsDental Exam and Cleaning FAQs
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
For most patients, a dental cleaning is not painful. You might feel some pressure or sensitivity, especially if there’s plaque buildup or gum inflammation, but it’s typically a gentle and well-tolerated procedure.
How often should I get a dental exam and cleaning?
It is recommended to get a dental exam and cleaning every six months. This allows your dentist to catch any potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums in good shape year-round.
Can I eat or drink after my dental cleaning?
Yes, you can typically eat or drink right after your cleaning. If you had a fluoride treatment, though, we may recommend waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking.
