Comprehensive Evaluation / Oral Examination

An oral examination is a visual inspection of the mouth, head, and neck, performed to detect abnormalities. Radiographs allow for a more complete examination, helping the doctor to detect cavities, problems in existing dental restorations, gum and bone recession or other abnormal conditions within the mouth, head and neck area.

Our team will also perform an oral cancer screening.

Prophy (Cleaning)

A dental cleaning, also known as an oral prophylaxis, is the removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device that emits vibrations and is cooled by water is used to loosen larger pieces of tartar. Next, hand tools are used to manually remove smaller deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces. Once all the tooth surfaces have been cleaned of tartar and plaque, the teeth are polished and flossed.

Absolutely Wonderful

Dr. Taff and Levine and their staff are absolutely wonderful. I arrived to their facility for my 2 children appointments only to learn that they did not have an appointment scheduled on that date. Not sure what end the error occurred, but they were able to figure out how to get my kids seen at that time to avoid any inconvenience on our side. If that is not excellent service than please show me otherwise. They were cool, calm, and very positive throughout the situation. I have been getting service from this group since before my children were born. I am now going to send a child off to college soon, so that speaks volumes. Thank you for the wonderful service Drs. Taff & Levine and your staff!
