The visit that prevents most dental problems

Regular checkups are the simplest way to protect your smile. Cavities and gum disease often don’t hurt in their early stages, so the first sign many people notice is pain once the problem is advanced. A checkup and cleaning every six months, or more often if your gums need it, lets us find and fix issues while they’re small, quick and less costly.

At Buffalo Creek Dental, a regular visit includes a full exam by Dr. Jon Barnes, a professional cleaning by one of our hygienists, an oral cancer screening and digital X-rays when they’re due. We’ll explain what we see and answer your questions without rushing.

Who should come in?

What happens at a checkup

1. Health review

We update your medical history and ask about any concerns.

2. Digital X-rays when needed

They show decay between teeth, below fillings and in the bone, using less radiation than traditional film.

3. Cleaning

Your hygienist uses a gentle touch to remove plaque and tartar, then polishes away surface stains.

4. Exam and oral cancer screening

Dr. Barnes checks your teeth, gums, bite, face, tongue, cheeks and throat. An intraoral camera gives a close-up look when needed.

5. Your plan

If anything needs attention, we'll explain options and fees. If all is well, we'll see you in six months.

Why patients choose Buffalo Creek Dental

Treatment at Buffalo Creek Dental is provided by Jon Barnes, DDS, general dentist. Individual results vary; Dr. Barnes will recommend treatment only after an exam.

Checkup & cleaning FAQs

Most people do well every six months. If you’ve had gum disease, Dr. Barnes may recommend every three or four months.

A regular cleaning (prophy) cleans above and slightly below the gumline on healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by cleaning deeper pockets along the roots. See Gum Disease Treatment.

Digital X-rays use a very low dose of radiation. We take them only when they’re needed to diagnose problems we can’t see.

Most people find cleanings comfortable. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, tell your hygienist; we can go slower or numb the area.

That’s okay. We’ll start with an exam and X-rays, then build a plan step by step.
