About Teeth Checkup

A regular teeth checkup is the foundation of a healthy smile. During your visit, Dr. Park performs a thorough exam, a professional cleaning, and, when needed, x-rays to spot any concerns between the teeth before they become bigger problems.

Most patients benefit from at least two cleanings a year, though we'll tailor the timing to your needs based on the amount of build-up present.
