How long has it been since your last dental cleaning? You can receive comfortable, comprehensive preventive care right here at Hrencher Dental! Dr. Austin Hrencher, your experienced dentist in Dodge City will perform a comprehensive dental exam at your initial dental visit.
We offer the following services at all regular preventive dental exams:
Dental radiographs: X-rays provide our dentists with early detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss that cannot be seen in a visual exam. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
Tooth decay exam: In addition to your x-rays, all tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special new state-of-the-art decay detection instruments.
Gum disease evaluation: Your dentist and hygienist will check the gums and bone around your teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of existing restorations: We'll check current fillings, crowns, bridges and other dental restorations for fit, damage, or unusual wear.
Oral cancer screening: Your dentist will check your face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Preventive Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
Regular cleanings and checkups are a critical part of your dental hygiene and overall oral health care. With advanced dental x-rays and the latest diagnostic tools such as intra-oral cameras, we can provide you and your family with a complete dental care program in our comfortable, family-friendly office.
At every routine cleaning and strengthening mineral treatment, our dental team removes and prevents the buildup of tartar and plaque on the teeth. After each cleaning, our dentist will carefully polish the teeth. Our dentist recommends scheduling a routine dental check-up appointment and preventive exam at least twice a year to encourage your optimal oral health.
