What Is A Typical Teeth Cleaning Like?

At Koplon Implant & Family Dentistry in Birmingham, a general teeth cleaning involves a deep clean and polish to remove plaque and buildup, a charting of your gums, an oral cancer screening, and x-rays of your mouth.

Under the care of our trained hygienic staff, we strive to make sure all patients are at ease during their cleanings. Recommended twice a year, cleanings last between 60-90 minutes and helps our team identify any additional problems that may need to be addressed.

At Koplon Implant & Family Dentistry, we accept and treat patients of all ages, and welcome children to our practice. We are equipped to complete pediatric dental work in our office and work to make sure even our littlest patients feel welcome and at ease in our office.

Practicing good oral hygiene means maintaining your child's smile by visiting the dentist regularly and taking care of his or her teeth and gums between checkups. Dr. Koplon wants to make sure that you and your child get the most out of your office visits, and that your child's teeth stay healthy for life! We'll work with you to provide complete dental care, and show you how to maintain your child's smile at home with the right dental products for you and your family.

Oral cancer is not often discussed, but is a very common form of cancer. As part of our all-in-one promise, we believe we have an obligation to screen our patients for any signs of oral cancer and inform our patients about the potential for oral cancer. Our Sapphire Plus LD technology provides enhanced visual information so we can better detect and diagnose the presence of cancer or pre-cancer and work to identify a treatment plan if needed.
