Dental Exams, Cleanings, & Fillings in Naples, FL
Taking care of your oral health doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, regular exams and cleanings are some of the easiest ways to protect your teeth from more serious problems in the future. It’s never too late to start prioritizing your dental health!
Thorough Dental Exams & Cleanings
Our team will carefully inspect your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We check for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues, so they can be addressed before they turn into bigger problems.
We’ll also do a professional cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar buildup that you just can’t get rid of with brushing and flossing alone, leaving your teeth cleaner, brighter, and healthier.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If cavities are found during your exam, we can fix them with tooth-colored fillings. These fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. Tooth-colored fillings not only restore your tooth’s strength but also preserve its natural look.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist for an exam and cleaning?
For most people, visiting the dentist for an examination and cleaning twice a year is suitable. This enables your dentist to catch any problems early and resolve them. Some people, however, need more frequent visits. A person with diabetes, a weak immune system or a tendency to develop more plaque and cavities should visit their dentist more often, perhaps every three or four months. Smokers would also be wise to see their dentists more often. The most important thing is to not put these visits off!

When do I need a tooth filling?
You need a tooth filling when a tooth has been harmed by decay or injury. You may notice signs like sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods, discoloration or toothache. If you chip or break a tooth or a filling comes out, that’s another sign you will need a filling. Also notice if dental floss seems to get caught on one tooth because there is a rough spot on that tooth. The other time you’ll need a filling is when your dentist spots an area of decay. For that reason, be sure to maintain a regular schedule of visits to your dentist!
How long does a filling take?
The time to complete a filling depends on the size and extent of tooth decay being addressed. Your appointment for a simple filling could take less than an hour. Placing the filling itself might only take about 20 minutes. A larger filling in a molar is likely to take considerably longer. You must also allow time for a local anesthetic to take effect, if it is used. It is crucial to maintain a regular schedule of preventative care with your dentist to minimize the time and cost of fillings.

How long do dental exams take?
The time required for a dental examination could range from 45 minutes to an hour or more, especially if you are a new patient. If you need x-rays, add 10 to 15 minutes to this estimate. However, if your dental examination is done in conjunction with a routine cleaning, then the time spent just on an examination will probably be less. What is most important is to get examinations at least twice every year and more if you are diabetic, a smoker or tend to get cavities frequently. Need to update your preventative care?

How much does a dental exam and cleaning cost?
A dental appointment with routine cleaning and examination can cost from $200 to $300, depending on the location of the dental office. If x-rays are needed, they can range from $100 to $300. Maintaining a regular schedule of this preventative care can save you many thousands of dollars in future dental care. It can also save you from painful, aching teeth or infected gums.
