WHAT TO EXPECT!

Initial Exam

At 8th Street Dentistry in Traverse City, MI, an initial dental exam is a welcoming and informative experience designed to set the foundation for long-term oral health. From the moment patients arrive, the friendly team makes them feel comfortable and cared for. The visit begins with a detailed review of dental and medical history, followed by digital X-rays and photos to get a complete picture of the patient’s oral health. The dentist then performs a comprehensive exam, checking the teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, as well as conducting an oral cancer screening to ensure nothing is overlooked. Every finding is explained clearly, and patients are encouraged to ask questions, helping them feel fully informed about their dental health.

Regular Cleanings

At 8th Street Dentistry in Traverse City, MI, regular dental cleanings are designed to be both thorough and comfortable, helping patients maintain a healthy, radiant smile year-round. During each visit, the friendly hygiene team begins with a gentle yet detailed cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t reach. They carefully polish the teeth for a smooth, refreshed feel and may take digital X-rays or perform a quick oral health screening. Every step is explained clearly, so patients always know what to expect and can feel at ease throughout their appointment.

A Healthy Smile

Beyond just cleaning teeth, the team at 8th Street Dentistry focuses on prevention and education. Hygienists take time to discuss personalized home care tips—like brushing techniques, flossing methods, and product recommendations—to help patients keep their smiles in top shape between visits. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and supportive, making it easy for patients of all ages to look forward to their regular checkups. With each visit, the 8th Street Dentistry team helps ensure that healthy habits and professional care work hand in hand to protect and enhance every smile.
