Have a lifetime of great smiles

Diligently brushing & flossing at home keeps plaque build-up at a minimum, but there are always places you will miss. Professional cleaning ensures that your smile stays bright and your teeth stay healthy for longer.

Why are routine dental exams & cleanings important?

An effective & easier treatment for stained teeth & improve bad breath with routine removal of plaque and tartar.

Comprehensive cleaning all of the debris, bacteria, and deposits that could result in periodontal issues (like gum disease). 

Dental diseases are progressive – early intervention is the best treatment for prevention and maintenance!

Really appreciated the thoroughness of my appointment and I feel confident in maintaining the health of my teeth with this team at Legacy.

Mary

I have never felt more comfortable going to the dentist. I used to stress out weeks before. No more. They have the most gentle and kind approach you can ask for. Jenny Brown was born to be a dental hygienist. All of the dental hygienists I have encountered at this office are the best I have ever have encountered. Their recommendations to use a Sonic Care tooth brush a couple years have saved my gums and me a lot of issues. Dr. Mariani recommendations to get my blood pressure looked at by my family doctor has resulted in getting my blood pressure under control, which has very likely extended my life span! My teeth and I could not be happier.

Frequently asked questions

What do you need to know about routine exams?

Your smile is unique – which is why it’s so important for us to see you routinely. We can keep your teeth strong and gums healthy with cleanings and recommendations specific to you.

  • Medical and dental history review
  • A thorough evaluation of your head, neck and mouth
  • An oral cancer screening
  • A periodontal screening
  • A prophylaxis (cleaning) or periodontal cleaning based on your needs
  • Fluoride treatment

Great question – if your child is routinely seen by your pediatrician we start seeing most children in our practice starting at age 3+. For children we provide careful and gentle cleanings as well as fluoride treatment to protect their precious smiles!

Also known as gum disease, it is the disease that affects the hard and soft tissue that holds the teeth in the jaw bone.

Daily brushing and flossing helps prevent plaque buildup, but there are some areas below the gums that your floss and toothbrush can’t reach. Dental diseases are progressive and have better treatment outcomes with early intervention. 

We recommend twice a year, or every 3-4 months if you have periodontal disease.

At Legacy, we have developed a way for our patients to share their concerns regarding the health of their mouth via our Healthy Mouth Baseline questionnaire. This allows us, as your health care providers, to assess your concerns, combine them with our findings, and utilize a healthy mouth as the standard to create your customized pathway to health!
