Regular dental cleanings can help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by limiting inflammation.

Your visit begins with a thorough exam performed by Dr. Mariangela Smith, who checks for signs of decay, gum disease, and other potential issues. Using low-radiation digital X-rays when needed, she evaluates both the visible and underlying structures of your mouth. This gives you a clear understanding of your dental health in a warm, judgment-free setting.

One of our experienced hygienists gently removes plaque and tartar buildup, even in areas you may have missed during brushing and flossing. We polish your teeth to a smooth, clean finish, which not only enhances your smile but also makes it harder for plaque to accumulate going forward.

Following your exam and cleaning, we’ll build a preventive care plan tailored to you or your child. Whether it's fluoride treatments, dental sealants, or reinforcing good brushing habits at home, we make sure your routine is simple, achievable, and aligned with your personal health goals. Our convenient membership plans also help patients without insurance protect their smiles affordably.
Preventive care helps catch issues early, minimizing the need for extensive (and often expensive) treatments later. Over time, this can significantly lower the cost of maintaining your oral health.
Oral health is connected to your entire body's well-being. Preventive visits can reveal underlying health concerns and prevent conditions like gum disease from affecting systemic health.
At Collective Dentistry, we personalize each preventive plan to fit your goals and schedule, ensuring every patient feels confident and cared for. This is especially true for those who might feel anxious about visiting the dentist.
