Cleanings & Checkups

Regular dental cleanings and checkups are the absolute foundation of a healthy smile. At Dr. Muller Dentistry in St. John's, we believe that preventive care is the most effective way to protect your long-term oral health and avoid complex dental issues in the future.

Our thorough, gentle cleanings are designed to remove stubborn plaque and calculus (tartar) buildup that regular brushing and flossing at home simply cannot reach. This process is crucial for preventing tooth decay, halting the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis), and keeping your breath fresh. Our highly trained dental hygienists use specialized tools to carefully clean all surfaces of your teeth, including slightly beneath the gumline. We finish by polishing your teeth, removing surface stains from coffee, tea, and food to leave your smile bright and feeling completely refreshed.

Following your cleaning, Dr. Muller will perform a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a meticulous check of each tooth for signs of decay, an assessment of your periodontium (gums and supporting bone), and a routine oral cancer screening. When necessary, we utilize state-of-the-art digital X-rays to look beneath the surface and catch any potential issues before they become major problems. We pride ourselves on taking the time to explain our findings clearly and transparently, answering any questions you may have without rushing you.
