Professional Preventive Care from a Trusted Somerset Dental Team
At Advanced Dental Arts in Somerset, NJ, we provide gentle, thorough teeth cleanings and exams to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Whether it's your routine six-month visit or returning after some time away, our goal is to make your experience stress-free and personalized.
Led by Dr. Philip Afshar and Dr. Joseph Haddad, our team uses advanced tools like digital X-rays and 3D CT imaging to detect concerns early. We also offer tailored solutions, including child dentistry and tooth-colored fillings, to keep your smile healthy at every stage of life.
What’s Included in a Dental Cleaning & Checkup?
Every visit to our Somerset practice includes much more than just polishing your teeth. Our preventive appointments are designed to catch concerns early and keep your smile strong.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our experienced hygienists, like Jennifer and Brianna, remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains using gentle yet thorough techniques. We use advanced ultrasonic instruments to clean areas that brushing and flossing often miss. After your cleaning, you’ll leave with noticeably smoother, cleaner teeth.
Comprehensive Dental Exam
Dr. Philip Afshar or Dr. Joseph Haddad performs a full oral examination to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We check for signs of decay, gum inflammation, TMJ disorders, and early indicators of oral cancer. When needed, we also utilize 3D CT imaging and digital X-rays for precise diagnostics.
If any issues are identified, such as a cavity or bite misalignment, we’ll recommend appropriate next steps, like tooth-colored fillings or restorative crowns.
Tailored Prevention Planning
We don’t just treat problems—we help you avoid them. Based on your exam, we may suggest additional measures like fluoride treatments, dental sealants, or tips for improving your brushing and flossing routine at home.
If you or your child is nervous about treatment, we offer gentle sedation options to ensure a calm, stress-free visit.
Why Routine Cleanings Matter
Cleanings and exams every six months—or more frequently if needed—offer long-term benefits:
- Prevent cavities and gum disease
- Detect issues early while they’re simple to treat
- Preserve natural teeth and avoid costly procedures
- Maintain a brighter, fresher smile
- Support your overall health and confidence
Skipping visits can lead to problems like tooth decay, infections, and even emergency dental needs. Need urgent help? We offer same-day emergency appointments to get you relief quickly.
Who Should Get Regular Checkups?
Everyone—children, teens, adults, and seniors. Whether you're focused on prevention, cosmetic upkeep, or managing ongoing oral conditions, consistent visits to our Somerset office can help.
