Exams & Cleanings
Preventative Care
About This Service
Uniq Dentistry provides preventive dental exams and cleanings for patients in North Hollywood, Valley Village, Toluca Lake, the greater Los Angeles area.
Routine dental visits are one of the simplest ways to protect long-term oral health. At Uniq Dentistry, exams and cleanings are designed to do more than polish teeth. We check for cavities, gum inflammation, oral cancer warning signs, bite changes, wear patterns, and early problems that may be easier to treat when found sooner.
Why preventive visits matter
Plaque can harden into tartar in areas that brushing and flossing cannot fully reach. Professional cleanings remove buildup, while regular exams help identify small concerns before they become painful, urgent, or more complex to repair.
A visit built around your risk level
Some patients do well with cleanings every six months. Others benefit from more frequent periodontal maintenance because of gum disease history, dry mouth, crowding, medical conditions, or hard-to-clean areas.
Clear guidance for home care
A good preventive visit should leave you with practical next steps. We review brushing, flossing, sensitivity, bleeding gums, grinding, diet habits, and any product recommendations that fit your mouth.
The Process

We review changes in your health, medications, dental concerns, sensitivity, and any symptoms since your last visit.

Your dentist checks teeth, gums, bite, restorations, oral tissues, and any needed digital X-rays or diagnostic images.
Professional Cleaning
