Cleanings, Exams & Dental Fillings

At the Dentists at Beddington Heights in Calgary, we provide thorough dental cleanings so you can be confident in the health of your teeth.

Professional cleanings will:

• Remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing might miss.
• Prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning

Our skilled and friendly Beddington Calgary dental staff will:

1. Perform an initial oral exam to assess the condition of your teeth.
2. Remove plaque and tartar through a process called scaling.
3. Polish teeth to remove surface stains using a high-powered electric brush.
4. Floss between your teeth to remove any leftover plaque.
5. Rinse your mouth to eliminate debris.
6. Apply a fluoride treatment for added protection.

It’s recommended that you see your dentist for regular cleanings and exams twice a year (every 6 months) for optimal oral health, with regular brushing and flossing between visits.

Regular dental exams provide early detection of dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Maintain a healthy smile with routine dental exams at the Dentists at Beddington Heights in Calgary.

What to Expect During Your Routine Dental Exam

When you visit us for your dental exam in Beddington Calgary, you’ll receive:

• A comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums.
• An assessment of existing dental work (fillings, crowns, etc.).
• Oral cancer screening.
• X-rays, if necessary, to detect underlying issues.

It’s essential to maintain your dental hygiene between visits, by brushing your teeth twice a day, every day, and following it up with daily flossing.

If your dentist finds a cavity, you’ll need a filling to restore your tooth’s function and integrity. If left untreated, you may experience damage to your enamel, tooth decay, infection, and eventually tooth loss.

At Dentists at Beddington Heights, our team specializes in a variety of filling types, including:

• Amalgam fillings: silver fillings
• Composite fillings: tooth-coloured resin fillings
• Ceramic fillings: tooth-coloured porcelain fillings
• Glass ionomer: dental cement fillings

Discuss with your dentist which fillings will be best for you.

What to Expect During Your Dental Fillings

During your fillings, your dentist will walk you through the procedure to ensure you’re comfortable with the process. For dental fillings, your dentist will:

1. Administer local anaesthesia to numb the area being treated.
2. Remove the decayed tooth material.
3. Clean the affected area.
4. Apply the filling material.
5. Shape and polish the filling for proper fit and function.

Discuss post-procedure care with your dentist and be sure to ask any questions that may come up.
