Teeth Cleanings & Regular Dental Checkups in Valencia, CA
Daily brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral health, but regular dental checkups are equally important. Professional teeth cleanings can prevent tooth decay and other dental problems.
A Routine Dental Checkup
During your biannual checkup, your dental hygienist will clean your teeth by removing plaque and tartar, particularly around the gum line and between your teeth. They will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and floss to ensure all areas are clean. Dr. Cadra will then examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of dental problems. This thorough cleaning and exam help maintain your oral health and catch any issues early.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Checkups?
Yes! Most dental insurance plans include preventive care, which generally covers:
- Routine dental exams (usually twice a year)
- Professional teeth cleanings (every six months)
- X-rays (frequency may vary depending on the plan)
Preventive care is often covered at 100%, meaning you won’t have to pay anything out-of-pocket for these services as long as you stay within your insurance network. Our office is in-network with Aetna PPO and Delta Dental.
It’s always a good idea to check the specifics of your insurance plan to confirm coverage details and frequency limits. If you need help filling a claim contact our office.
