Exams & Cleanings

Top Dentist in St. Louis, MO

At Butler Hill Dental, maintaining optimal oral health for our patients is our top priority. Regular dental exams and cleanings are foundational to preventing dental issues and ensuring a healthy lifestyle. We recommend that our patients visit us twice a year for these essential services, in line with the American Dental Association’s guidelines.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you come in for a dental exam and cleaning at Butler Hill Dental, you will be greeted by our warm and professional staff. Your visit will start with a detailed dental exam where Dr. Cyrus Teymouri will check for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential issues. This exam might include digital X-rays to give a comprehensive view of your dental health, especially areas not visible during a visual inspection.

Following the exam, our skilled dental hygienists will perform a thorough cleaning. This involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup using specialized tools, such as a scaler. After the tartar is removed, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and finished with a professional flossing. Not only does this process keep your teeth and gums healthy, but it also leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.

The Importance of Regular Visits

Regular check-ups allow us to catch potential problems early when they are most manageable. Conditions like gum disease often start without noticeable symptoms but can lead to significant health issues if not addressed. By keeping up with regular exams and cleanings, you’re taking a proactive approach to prevent these diseases and maintain good oral hygiene.

During your cleaning, we also provide advice on personal dental care routines that will help you maintain optimal oral health outside of our office. This includes proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as recommendations for products that can aid in your dental care routine.

Preventing Gum Disease

Gum disease is a common condition that affects many adults, but with regular dental visits, it is preventable. Early detection through routine cleanings and exams is key to managing and reversing the effects of this condition before it leads to more severe consequences such as tooth loss or other health complications.

Schedule Your Appointment Today

We invite new and existing patients to schedule their next dental exam and cleaning with us. Whether you’re due for a routine check-up or experiencing dental issues, Dr. Teymouri and the Butler Hill Dental team are here to provide you with high-quality, compassionate care. Contact us today to book your appointment and take the first step towards a healthier, brighter smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule a dental exam and cleaning?
Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist twice a year for routine exams and cleanings. These visits help Dr. Teymouri and the Butler Hill Dental team monitor your oral health, remove buildup, and catch concerns early before they become more difficult to treat.
During your exam, Dr. Teymouri will check your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. Digital X-rays may be recommended when a closer look is needed at areas that are not visible during a visual exam.
Daily brushing and flossing are essential, but professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Cleanings also give the team a chance to offer personalized tips for keeping your teeth and gums healthy between visits.
Yes, routine exams and cleanings are an important part of preventing and managing gum disease. Since gum disease can develop without obvious symptoms at first, regular visits help identify early signs and support healthier gums over time.

I had my new patient exam today and was very impressed. Dr. Teymouri was very personable and explained things thoroughly. I like the fact he is the only dentist there so you get him every time. The biggest bonus seems to be the way the office is run. They are very forthcoming on cost. Sherry looked up the costs of the recommendations so I know what to expect before booking the appointment. Extremely organized, especially compared to my past dentist (Kingston Dental)!

Friendly, professional staff and one of the technicians has cleaned my teeth for many years and is excellent. Today had 2 crowns put in place and they are perfect. Of course I have great confidence in Dr. Teymouri and appreciate his effort to work with my often busy travel schedule.
