Cleanings & exams
Dental cleaning in Aventura — done thoroughly, not rushed
Routine cleanings are the most underrated part of dental care. Dr. Ruben Journo and the hygiene team take the time to do them right — for adults, kids, and the whole family.
What to expect
What a real dental cleaning visit looks like
A good cleaning isn't just a polish at the end. It's an exam, a thorough removal of plaque and tartar, an honest conversation about what we see, and a plan to keep small problems from becoming big ones.
We take digital X-rays only when clinically needed, and we walk you through them so you actually understand the state of your teeth and gums. Most cleaning visits take about an hour.
- Comprehensive exam with Dr. Journo
- Hand and ultrasonic scaling for plaque and tartar
