Dental Exams & Cleanings
At BOND Aesthetic, we believe that true beauty is rooted in health. You cannot build a masterpiece on a shaky foundation. While many view a dental cleaning as a mundane chore, we view it as the most critical appointment on your calendar.
Comprehensive Exams & Dental Hygiene in Aventura, FL
The Science of Prevention
A comprehensive exam goes far beyond a quick look for cavities. It is a deep-dive investigation into the biological and structural stability of your mouth.
-
The Exam: We evaluate everything from the integrity of old fillings to the health of your jaw joints (TMJ) and an oral cancer screening.
-
The Hygiene: Biofilm (plaque) and calculus (tartar) are relentless. Even with perfect brushing, bacteria hide below the gum line. Our professional hygiene therapy removes these harmful deposits that cause inflammation, bad breath, and bone loss.
The Foundation of Beauty: Curating Longevity
This is not just about polishing teeth; it is about protecting your investment. Whether you have a mouth full of natural enamel or a complete set of porcelain veneers, our hygiene protocols are designed to extend the lifespan of your smile and safeguard your oral-systemic health.
Who Needs Maintenance?
Consistency is key for everyone. At BOND Aesthetic, our detailed approach is especially tailored for:
-
New Patients: Establishing a baseline of health and creating a long-term roadmap.
-
Cosmetic Patients: Protecting veneers and crowns from gum recession or underlying decay that could ruin the aesthetic result.
-
Gum Health Concerns: Patients noticing bleeding during flossing or persistent bad breath (halitosis).
-
Systemic Health: Patients with heart conditions or diabetes, where oral inflammation can impact overall wellness.
The Check-Up Process
-
Digital Discovery: We start with high-resolution photos and digital X-rays (low radiation) to see what is happening between the teeth and under the gums.
-
Periodontal Mapping: We measure the space between your tooth and gum (the pockets) to screen for early signs of gum disease.
-
Ultrasonic Therapy: We use specialized ultrasonic tools that use water vibration to gently flush away tartar and bacteria without aggressive force. We have replaced the dreaded "scraping" sensation with advanced, gentle technology.
-
Detail & Polish: We hand-scale fine details and finish with a stain-removing polish to leave your teeth feeling glass-smooth.
-
Doctor’s Analysis: The doctor reviews all data, checks your bite, screens for cancer, and discusses any cosmetic or functional goals you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How often should I come in? For most patients with healthy gums, every 6 months is the gold standard. However, if you have a history of gum disease or high cavity risk, we may recommend a 3 or 4-month interval.
-
Why do I need X-rays? Visual exams can only see the outer surfaces of the teeth. X-rays allow us to see "invisible" decay between teeth, infections at the root tip, and bone loss levels. We cannot treat what we cannot see.
-
What is the difference between a "Cleaning" and a "Deep Cleaning"? A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) is for patients with healthy gums. A "deep cleaning" (Scaling and Root Planing) is a therapy for active gum disease, where we must clean deep below the gum line under local anesthesia to halt infection.
-
Does cleaning hurt? It shouldn't. With our ultrasonic technology and gentle hand, discomfort is minimal. If you have extreme sensitivity, please tell us—we have many ways to make it completely painless.
