WHAT TO EXPECT

Dental exams and cleanings are routine for most dentists. At ICO Dental, exceptional care is part of

who we are. We offer all our patients quality care. Your oral health is in safe hands.

Periodic dental exams and cleanings from ICO Dental should be an essential part of your dental health routine. These routine check-ups will keep your teeth healthy. Without them, minor dental issues can progress and eventually require serious intervention. Our dentist will check for routine dental issues like tooth decay and cavities during your initial exam. Finding these early is the best way to mitigate damage, and we can schedule a simple filling or even carry it out in that same appointment. In general, it’s best to have an exam and a cleaning every six months. Those with specific concerns or conditions might require more regular exams. The team at ICO Dental will let you know if this would be advisable in your case.

DENTAL EXAM PROCEDURE

While dental exams are routine, not many people understand what takes place during one. A great dentist should be able to check for signs and symptoms of various diseases and conditions.

Our dental exam will also include checking for signs of oral cancer, gum disease, and other serious infections and conditions. Along with specific tooth and mouth diseases, some more general conditions are also commonly diagnosed through signs found during dental exams. In most cases, our patients will schedule both an exam and cleaning at the same time. Our dentist will use specialized tools to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria, which will help you combat several common dental issues, such as gingivitis and cavities.

DENTAL HYGIENIST CHICAGO, IL

BEYOND CLEANING

We go over and above to provide high-quality care that goes beyond your regular dental visits to include aesthetic treatments.

Our team can also provide you with effective in-office whitening that delivers much better results than strips, whitening toothpaste, or other over-the-counter options. This simple procedure involves the dentist applying a bleaching agent to your teeth and applying a specialized light to activate the paste. You should have noticeably whiter teeth immediately following the procedure. The entire thing takes just about an hour, making it an incredibly convenient and effective option for dealing with stains on your teeth that cleaning can’t remove.
