Prevention Is Not an Obligation — It Is a Design
A twice-yearly cleaning and exam is the single most reliable way to keep your teeth — and your budget — healthy over a lifetime. At Tropical Smiles Dental, these visits include full prophylaxis, X-rays when due, an oral cancer screening, and honest, unhurried conversation about anything we find.
First-time patients begin with our comprehensive initial exam; returning patients find the same careful attention at every single visit.
- Thorough professional cleaning above and below the gumline
- Digital X-rays when due — low-radiation, tailored to your risk
- Oral cancer screening included at every exam
- Unhurried review of findings with honest treatment priorities
What to Expect During Your Visit
A calm 60-to-90 minute appointment, start to finish
Hygiene Deep-Clean
Your hygienist removes every trace of plaque and tartar, above and below the gumline — gentle on gums, thorough where it counts.
Imaging and Screening
Digital X-rays (when due) and an oral cancer screening map your health comprehensively — including what your eyes cannot see.
Honest Conversation
Dr. Nitta reviews findings with you, notes what is healthy, and outlines any priorities — no pressure, no upselling, just facts.
