Even if your teeth feel fine, regular dental visits are essential for maintaining your oral and overall health.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

When you visit Empower Dental for your routine care, we go far beyond the basics. Our comprehensive approach includes:

Digital Dental X-Rays

We use modern, low-radiation Digital X-rays, 3D X-rays, and our Cone Beam CT Scanner to capture high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, jawbone, and sinuses.
Benefits:

  • Immediate images with no film processing
  • 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays
  • Detect issues like bone loss, cysts, impacted teeth, or decay between teeth

Comprehensive Dental Exam

Your dentist will:

  • Inspect each tooth for cracks, decay, or wear
  • Check your gums for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease
  • Evaluate bite alignment and TMJ function
  • Perform an oral cancer screening using advanced tools like Intraoral Cameras, Laser Dentistry, and Soft Tissue Lasers
We also use Digital Smile Design Software and Intraoral Scanners (iTero, TRIOS, Medit) to map out your oral health in 3D for better treatment planning.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Our gentle dental hygienists use Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scalers and Air Abrasion Technology to painlessly remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains—leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Cleanings help prevent:

  • Cavities and gum disease
  • Bad breath
  • Tooth discoloration
  • Tooth loss caused by untreated plaque buildup
After your cleaning, we’ll polish your teeth and review your at-home hygiene routine to keep your smile strong between visits.
