Catch Issues Early With Digital Diagnosis

Our dental exams combine advanced imaging with intelligent analysis for exceptional accuracy. The Schick AE Sensor captures crisp digital X-rays with reduced radiation exposure, giving us a precise view of your teeth and supporting structures.

These images are then analyzed by the Overjet system, which uses advanced artificial intelligence to detect cavities, bone loss, and other dental concerns earlier than ever before.

We also use the DIAGNOdent pen to find decay in its earliest stages, and the VELscope for quick, comfortable oral cancer screening. With the various technologies at Distinctive Dental services, our goal is to provide optimal dental care and to be as minimally invasive as possible.

Refresh Your Smile With a Thorough Teeth Cleaning

A professional cleaning goes beyond what you can achieve at home. We gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, including hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing might miss. This process helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

During your cleaning, we also polish your teeth to remove surface stains, giving your smile a brighter, healthier appearance. Special attention is given to areas where buildup tends to occur, ensuring every part of your mouth feels fresh.

By maintaining regular cleanings, you'll enjoy improved oral health, fresher breath, and the confidence that comes with a clean, polished smile.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How often should I have a dental cleaning and exam?
In general, you should get a cleaning and exam every six months. These visits allow your dentist to remove buildup, check for early signs of dental problems, and keep your teeth and gums healthy. Dr. Elrod may recommend more frequent visits based on your specific needs.
What happens during a dental exam?
A dental exam includes a visual inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as digital imaging to check for hidden problems. We also screen for oral cancer and evaluate your bite, ensuring your oral health is fully assessed.
Why are dental cleanings important?
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated with regular brushing and flossing. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, while also keeping your smile bright and healthy.
