This all-inclusive new patient package is designed to give you a complete picture of your oral health — with no hidden fees and no insurance required.
The Importance of Dental Exams & Cleanings
Routine dental exams and professional cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. During an exam, our team carefully checks your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, often using digital X-rays for a deeper look.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other serious dental issues. At Legacy Dental Pasadena, we combine advanced technology with gentle care to keep your smile bright, healthy, and confident.
