What to Expect During Your Visit

Routine dental cleanings and exams are vital for detecting problems early and keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition. At our Goshen dental office, we tailor each visit to your individual needs, using advanced tools and techniques to deliver thorough yet gentle care.

Your Appointment Includes:

  • Professional Dental Cleaning
    Our hygienists use advanced instruments to remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and help prevent gum disease and decay.

  • Comprehensive Dental Exam
    Dr. Fugate evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for signs of decay, infection, or early wear. As part of our general dentistry services, we also screen for oral cancer and examine the soft tissues of your mouth.

  • Digital X-Rays (if needed)
    When necessary, we take low-radiation digital X-rays to detect issues that aren't visible during the visual exam, such as cavities between teeth or bone loss.

  • Preventive Guidance
    We provide personalized oral hygiene advice based on your current dental health, habits, and long-term goals. For parents, we offer tips to help children establish strong at-home routines.
