Preventive Dental Care

Gentle, expert teeth cleaning in Charleston

Dental cleanings and exams are about more than just polishing your smile. They help us catch issues early – before they become painful or expensive, and protect your teeth and gums long-term. At Costa + Williams, you’ll get thorough, un-rushed care from a team that takes your health seriously.

We see fewer patients each day so we can take time with every detail, whether it’s your routine checkup or your first cleaning in years.

What Happens at a Cleaning & ExamComprehensive care with zero stress

Your dental cleaning includes careful removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria – even in the places your toothbrush can’t reach. We’ll floss and polish your teeth, then take time to talk through your oral hygiene habits and answer any questions you may have.

A dental exam checks more than just cavities. We assess your bite, gum health, and signs of infection or wear. Every visit also includes an oral cancer screening and review of your X-rays, so you leave knowing exactly where things stand.

Why Cleanings & Exams MatterPrevention is the best treatment

Even with good habits at home, professional cleanings are essential. A dental cleaning every six months is your best defense against decay, gum disease, and future dental emergencies. We may recommend more frequent visits if you have risk factors like diabetes or recent dental procedures.

Don’t wait for a toothache to remind you it’s time – routine dental care can save you time, money, and discomfort later on.

Our Philosophy of Care The human side of dentistry

When you walk into Costa + Williams, you’re more than just a chart or a time slot. We listen, explain, and care for you like we would our own family. That means fewer patients per day, no rushed appointments, and real conversations about your goals and preferences. We’re proud to serve Charleston with dental cleanings and exams that feel personal, not procedural.
