Comprehensive Dental Cleanings & Exams

Regular cleanings and exams with Dr. Nickolas Felten form the foundation of a healthy smile in Maplewood, Minnesota.

What Are Comprehensive Cleanings & Exams?

A comprehensive cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing miss, while a thorough exam allows Dr. Felten to check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns. Together, these routine visits give Dr. Felten a clear picture of your oral health and catch small issues while they are still simple to treat.

What Your Visit Includes

Professional Teeth Cleanings

Removal of plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach on their own.

Comprehensive Oral Exams

A thorough check of your teeth, gums, and bite to catch issues before they become bigger problems.

Oral Cancer Screenings

A quick, routine screening as part of your exam to check for early signs of oral cancer.

Plaque & Tartar Removal

The Importance of Cleanings & Exams

Routine cleanings and exams remain one of the most effective ways to protect your long-term oral health. Preventing Cavities and Gum Disease: Removing plaque and tartar buildup reduces your risk of decay and periodontal disease. Catching Problems Early: Regular exams often catch small issues before they turn into painful, more expensive problems. Supporting Your Overall Health: Oral health is closely connected to overall health, making routine visits an important part of your wellness.

I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner.  They don’t disappoint

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
