Dental Exam & Cleaning in Pompano Beach, FL
What's Included in a General Checkup
A general checkup covers three things: a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar your toothbrush can’t reach, a full exam where Dr. Novoa or Dr. Camacho checks for cavities, gum disease, and anything unusual, and digital X-rays when needed to catch problems developing below the surface. Most patients are in and out in under an hour, and you’ll know before you leave whether anything needs follow-up, no waiting days for a callback.
Why Regular Checkups Matter
Cavities and gum disease are cheap to treat early and expensive to treat late. A crack that gets caught at a routine cleaning might mean a filling; the same crack ignored for a year can mean a root canal or an extraction. Twice-a-year visits are the difference between small fixes and big ones.
Cost & Insurance for Checkups and Cleanings
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover two cleanings and exams per year at little to no out-of-pocket cost, we verify your specific benefits before your appointment so there’s no surprise at checkout. If you’re paying without insurance, ask our front desk for our current self-pay checkup pricing when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Every six months for most patients, more often if you have a history of gum disease, are a smoker, or are managing diabetes, since all three increase your risk between visits.
Do you accept my insurance for checkups?
We accept most major PPO plans. Bring your insurance information when you book and we’ll confirm your coverage before you’re seen.
