  • Thorough teeth cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains
  • DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection for early identification of decay

Why Preventive Care Matters

Skipping regular checkups can lead to costly, avoidable dental problems. Our proactive approach not only saves your smile but also your wallet. Regular exams and cleanings:

  • Help detect cavities and gum disease in early stages
  • Remove tartar buildup that brushing and flossing can’t
  • Prevent bad breath and maintain a bright smile
  • Allow timely intervention before more complex treatments are needed

If more involved care is required, we’ll walk you through restorative options like Tooth-Colored Fillings or Dental Bonding.

Our dental practice is proud to serve the Vista area and beyond. Patients from Oceanside, Carlsbad, Fallbrook, and the broader North County San Diego region trust Dr. Antwan for preventive care that combines advanced technology with personalized attention.

At Civic Dental, we speak Spanish and Arabic — and we welcome patients of all ages and backgrounds.

FAQs: Dental Exams & Cleanings

How often should I get a dental exam and cleaning?

Most patients should visit every six months. Dr. Antwan may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health.

What is DIAGNOdent and how does it help?

DIAGNOdent is a laser cavity detection system that identifies hidden decay earlier than traditional methods, allowing for less invasive treatment.

Will the cleaning hurt or cause sensitivity?

Cleanings are typically painless, though you might feel slight sensitivity if you have gum inflammation or heavy tartar. We take extra care to ensure comfort.

Is this service covered by dental insurance?

Yes, most PPO insurance plans cover preventive cleanings and exams. We accept Delta Dental, MetLife CDP, Aetna, Cigna, and more. Visit our Patient Information page for insurance details.

Can children get exams and cleanings too?

Absolutely. We offer gentle pediatric care tailored to children’s needs. Learn more about our Pediatric & Special Needs Dentistry services.
