Dr. Tim and his staff are absolutely the best. I had a major procedure done, entire mouth restoration with implants and new teeth. Let me just say I could not have chosen a better dentist. His caring nature, his attention to details was beyond words in what was a very traumatic procedure. I can’t say enough good things about his assistant, front office staff and hygienist. My new teeth are so beautiful and the confidence I have when I smile now I give all the credit to the team at Leon Springs family dental.

Enjoy a Healthy Smile Throughout Your Life
Regular dental checkups are important if you want to keep your teeth and gums in good shape. As our patient, you can trust that your dentist uses an evidence-based approach.

Our practice values transparency and honesty, giving you a clear understanding of the condition of your oral health and our reasoning for treatments.
When you visit our office for a dental cleaning and exam, here is what you can expect:
- You will meet with your dental hygienist for a traditional cleaning. We’ll get rid of any plaque and tartar from your teeth.
- You will receive a comprehensive exam. We look for any signs of cavities or gum disease and take digital X-rays.
- Your dentist uses this information to evaluate your oral health. Depending on the condition of your smile, fluoride treatments or dental sealants may be recommended to give your teeth an extra layer of protection.
- Your dentist will spend time reviewing your X-rays, examining your teeth and gums, and discussing any findings or recommendations.
- If additional treatment is needed, your dentist will develop a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs. For patients with significant dental needs, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure you receive the comprehensive care you deserve.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
Putting off dental appointments until you are in pain can lead to a serious oral health issue. Plus, not all dental problems show painful symptoms until they are in the advanced stages. Regular dental check-ups give you the advantage of having a dental professional examine your mouth. Detecting oral health concerns in their early stages means less expensive and less invasive treatments.
