General dentistry questions
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
I am new. Where should I start?

Can I book a cleaning without an exam?
Cleanings and exams are often scheduled together, but this depends on your history and when you were last examined. Ask the team when booking, and they will explain what is appropriate for your situation.
