Dr. Zadeh will provide the gentlest yet most thorough teeth cleaning in the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area. If it is your first visit with us, he will perform a detailed exam with the help of his assistants. It includes checking the face, lips, tongue, throat, and gums for any abnormal growths and signs of oral cancer.



After all, dentistry is not just about your teeth — it is about your overall oral health. We will also examine your gums and the surrounding bones for signs of periodontal disease, such as gingivitis. All surfaces of your teeth will be inspected for decay or weakness, and any existing dental fillings, crowns, bridges, or other dental work will be examined to ensure they are in good repair and working correctly. You will receive exams, including X-rays, every year thereafter and a comprehensive exam every two to three years. This way, Dr. Zadeh can track your dental health, identify problems before they start, and develop treatment plans to keep your teeth, mouth, and gums at their best.



After the thorough examination comes the cleaning. Usually, one of Dr. Zadeh's highly trained and knowledgeable hygienists cleans. If you want your cleaning done by our dentist, Dr. Zadeh will happily perform your cleaning himself at your request. First, we will remove any tartar from your teeth. Tartar is any substance left on your teeth long enough to harden, usually caused by plaque buildup.



Spaces behind the back molars and just along the gumline tend to be missed even during the most careful brushing session, so tartar builds up quickly. It makes these areas prone to cavities, decay, and gum disease. The cleaning process also removes developing plaque. Plaque is the stage after tartar and is the buildup of bacteria that gets left over in your mouth from food and saliva. Only a dental hygienist can remove it during your cleaning if it hardens. After all tartar and plaque are removed, your teeth are polished to remove stains and debris. And with a fluoride rinse, your teeth will be given the extra protection they need until your next appointment.
