EXAMS & CLEANING

What To Expect During A Dental Exam

A dental exam at Bright Smile Family Dentistry is your best defense against tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns. But our focus goes beyond just finding problems—we truly care about you and your smile. We take the time to understand your dental history, listen to your concerns, and customize your care to meet your unique needs for a healthy, confident smile! Bright Smile Family Dentistry provides dental cleaning visits in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach that help patients remove plaque buildup, refresh their smile, and maintain better oral health between appointments. Routine preventive visits are an important part of long-term dental care.

Step 1: Dental Checkup

First, we perform a thorough, but gentle check of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.

Step 2: Dental Screening

Next, the dentist will examine your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and signs of infection.

Step 3: Cancer Screening

Then, for added peace of mind, we perform an oral cancer screening of your gums, tongue, your palate, and the floor of your mouth.

Step 4: Dental Discussion

Next, the dentist has a discussion with you about any concerns or discomfort you may be experiencing.

Step 5: Personalized Plan

Finally, we create a personalized plan for your dental treatment or maintenance, if needed.

Bright Smile Family Dentistry made the whole process so much easier, and I was so thankful they were able to help us get everything done in one visit.

But the booking form on Bright Smile Family Dentistry’s website was very easy to use and simple to understand. I had no trouble filling it out, and everything went much smoother than I expected. That alone made me feel a lot more comfortable choosing this office. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and welcoming.”

George F. | Pawleys Island, SC

“I was super nervous about needing a root canal and was really scared about being in pain. Dr. Singh was so kind and patient and made me feel a lot better by explaining everything to me.

I’m really grateful for how understanding everyone was about my fear.”
