Preventive Dental Care to Keep Your Smile Healthy Year-Round
Routine dental cleanings & exams are essential to maintaining lifelong oral health. At Miller Dental Group, we provide comprehensive preventive care for patients of all ages in Savannah and Pooler. Whether you're visiting for your biannual checkup or it's been a few years since your last appointment, our friendly, experienced team is here to help you maintain a healthy smile with gentle and thorough care.
Our modern offices are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools—including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras—to ensure we catch potential issues early and keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
What’s Included in a Dental Cleaning & Exam?
Our preventive visits are designed to be both proactive and educational. During your dental cleaning and exam, we focus on identifying concerns before they become problems while giving your smile a fresh start.
Each appointment typically includes:
- A thorough teeth cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains
- Polishing for a smooth, refreshed enamel surface
- Flossing and gum health evaluation
- A full dental exam to check for decay, damage, or abnormalities
- Digital x-rays (when needed) for a deeper look at bone and tooth health
- Oral cancer screening and bite assessment
- Personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and nutrition

Why Regular Cleanings & Exams Matter
Many dental problems—including cavities, gum disease, and early tooth decay—develop silently. Regular dental exams allow us to monitor your oral health and intervene early, often avoiding more extensive procedures later.
Benefits of routine dental cleanings include:
- Fresher breath and whiter teeth
- Early detection of cavities or gum inflammation
- Reduced risk of periodontal disease
- Protection against plaque buildup and tartar formation
- Personalized recommendations for oral hygiene routines at home
Consistent exams also support the longevity of restorative or cosmetic work such as veneers, dental implants, or Invisalign.
Dental Cleanings & Exams for All Ages
At Miller Dental Group, we provide teeth cleaning and exams for children, teens, adults, and seniors. For our youngest patients, these visits are key to establishing healthy habits. For adults, they're critical for preventing gum disease and protecting dental restorations.
We also offer family block appointments for added convenience and ensure a welcoming experience for patients with dental anxiety. Sedation options such as nitrous oxide are available to make your visit more comfortable when needed.
New patients can take advantage of our $99 New Patient Special, which includes a full dental exam, cleaning, and x-rays (excluding cases of periodontal disease).
Technology That Enhances Preventive Care
We use advanced diagnostic and cleaning technologies to ensure precision and comfort during every visit. Our tools include:
- Digital x-rays with minimal radiation exposure
- Ultrasonic scalers for gentle but effective removal of buildup
- Intraoral cameras for real-time visual education and documentation
- Itero scanning for tracking changes in alignment or tooth wear
These innovations support a more complete and patient-friendly approach to dental cleanings & exams.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams
How often should I get dental cleanings and exams?
Most patients should visit every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or are undergoing certain treatments, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Cleanings are typically painless. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity, especially if it’s been a while since their last visit. Let us know about any concerns so we can adjust your care.
Are x-rays included with my dental exam?
Yes, if needed. We use digital x-rays that are fast, detailed, and emit very low levels of radiation.
Can kids get teeth cleanings and exams?
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive children’s dentistry and recommend that children start routine checkups as soon as their first teeth appear.
What if I haven’t had a cleaning in years?
You're not alone, and there’s no judgment. We’ll work with you to restore your oral health and set a plan that makes sense for your needs.
