When you search for a “dentist near me” you’re probably looking for more than just someone to check your teeth. You want a dental team that actually takes the time to listen, explain, and care. At Giauque Family Dental in Millcreek, we make your comfort and health the top priority during every dental exam and cleaning.
Dr. Chris Giauque believes that great dentistry means catching problems early, preventing bigger issues down the road, and making sure you never feel rushed or pressured into unnecessary treatment.
Why Regular Dental Exams Matter
A routine dental exam is about more than just cavities. At each visit, Dr. Giauque carefully checks for:
Tooth decay or weakened enamel
Gum disease and early signs of infection
Oral cancer, bite problems, or other concerns you might not notice
Think of it like a wellness check for your smile…the earlier we catch something, the easier (and less expensive) it is to fix.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning
During your professional dental cleaning, our hygienist will:
Gently remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t reach
Polish your teeth for a brighter, smoother smile
Floss thoroughly so your gums stay healthy
We may also take digital X-rays if needed, so Dr. Giauque can get the full picture of your oral health.
And unlike many offices that give you a rushed 30 minutes, we schedule a full 60 minutes for hygiene appointments so you never feel like you’re rushed in and out or just another number in the chair.
