what's involved

keeping your smile

Healthy

At our Simpsonville dental office, we prioritize your oral health with thorough dental cleanings, exams, and X-rays, tailored to keep your smile in top shape. These preventive services play a vital role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums by removing plaque buildup, catching early signs of cavities or gum disease, and ensuring that any underlying issues are addressed promptly. 

Whether you’re visiting us for a routine check-up or it’s been a while since your last cleaning, our team is dedicated to providing gentle, comprehensive care to help you stay confident in your smile.

Commonly asked Questions

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

At Bynum Aesthetic Dentistry, we recommend patients schedule cleanings and exams every 3–4 months to maintain optimal oral health. This routine helps us monitor your teeth and gums closely, address potential issues early, and keep your smile looking and feeling its best.

Are X-rays necessary for my dental visit?

Yes, X-rays are an important part of your dental visit, as they help detect issues that may not be visible during a standard exam, such as cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth. We recommend X-rays once a year to keep a close watch on your oral health. Additionally, we suggest a CB-CT Scan every 3–5 years for a more in-depth evaluation. While traditional X-rays provide detailed images of specific areas, CB-CT Scans offer a 3D view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, making them especially valuable for advanced diagnostics and treatment planning.

How long does a dental cleaning and exam take?

A typical appointment lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your individual needs and any treatments required.

What if I have dental anxiety?

If you experience dental anxiety, you’re not alone—many adults share this concern, and we address it with care every day at Bynum Aesthetic Dentistry. Our team creates a welcoming and personable atmosphere, where relationships matter and your comfort comes first. To help make your visit as relaxing as possible, we offer thoughtful amenities like aromatherapy towels, headphones, and dental massage chairs. We also take the time to explain every step of your procedure, ensuring you’re fully informed and at ease throughout your experience. Your comfort and confidence are always our top priorities.

Will my insurance cover dental cleanings and exams?

Since we are out-of-network, coverage can vary. We encourage you to ask about handling insurance with our office when scheduling your appointment. Our team is happy to guide you through the process and help you understand your benefits for routine cleanings and exams. If you have questions, please call us at 864.297.5585.
