What Happens During a Cleaning and Exam
A dental cleaning removes the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing leave behind, followed by a polish that smooths the surface of each tooth. The exam pairs with it, and our dentists look tooth by tooth for decay, chips, and cracks, evaluate the health of your gums, check how your bite comes together, and screen your head and neck for signs of oral cancer or other concerns. Together the two appointments give us a full reading of where your oral health stands.
Our hygienists and dentists work as one team at Revolution Dental Group, sharing what they see so nothing gets missed between visits. Dental imaging is available in house, including 3D scanning, which lets us find what a visual exam cannot reach, such as decay between teeth or changes in the jawbone. For patients receiving dental cleanings and exams in Oregon City, that means an accurate picture and a care plan built around your history rather than a standard schedule.

What to Expect at Your Cleaning and Exam
Cleaning and Polishing
Your hygienist starts by removing plaque and tartar from each tooth surface and just below the gumline, using ultrasonic instruments that do the work with less pressure than hand scaling alone. Sensitive spots get extra care, and you can pause anytime. A polish finishes the visit, leaving your teeth smooth to the tongue and noticeably brighter.
Imaging and Examination
Your dentist reviews any imaging taken that day, including digital and 3D scans when needed, then examines each tooth for decay, cracks, and worn spots. Your gums are measured, your bite is checked, and a head and neck screening rounds it out. Nothing is uncomfortable, and you get a straight answer about what we found.
Your Plan Going Forward
We walk you through everything, showing you images on screen so you can see what we see. If treatment is needed, you get options and honest guidance on timing rather than pressure. If everything looks good, we set your next visit and share anything worth adjusting in your daily routine. You leave knowing exactly where you stand.
