About Oral Exams
Routine dental exams enable Dr. Spitzer to identify the earliest signs of gum disease, decay, or alignment issues before they can progress. Using specialized tools, he carefully evaluates all areas of your mouth, checking for any areas of concern and assessing your overall oral health.
Catching problems early—such as small cavities or mild gum irritation—helps prevent the need for more complex and costly treatments later. That’s why we recommend scheduling an oral exam and cleaning at our Costa Mesa office every six months to keep your smile healthy, comfortable, and strong for years to come.
A healthy, confident smile starts here.

About
Dental Cleanings
What to Expect at Your Dental Cleaning?
During a dental cleaning, our experienced dental hygienists begin cleaning your teeth by gently removing plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from around your teeth and gumline using a specialized tool called a scaler. If it’s been some time since your last visit, this step may take a bit longer to ensure all of the tartar buildup is thoroughly cleared away.
Once the tartar is removed, we use a high-powered electric toothbrush and a professional polishing paste to eliminate surface stains and leave your teeth feeling clean and smooth.
Your hygienist will then floss between each tooth to remove any lingering debris and identify any areas that may require extra care.
To complete your cleaning, your mouth will be rinsed, and a fluoride treatment will be applied to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities.
