Comprehensive Dental Checkups & Professional Dental Cleanings For A Healthier Smile
At Murphy Family Dentistry, we are committed to helping you not only achieve your perfect smile, but also maintain it. A dental checkup is a routine visit to the dentist that involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to detect and ideally prevent oral health issues. We also offer and recommend cleanings where our hygienist or our dentists remove plaque, tartar, and stains; thus, helping you to maintain healthy teeth and gums while preventing cavities and gum disease.
How Often Should I Get A Checkup And Cleaning?
It’s generally recommended to visit for a checkup and cleaning every six months. However, we might suggest more frequent visits if you have specific oral health concerns, such as gum disease or a history of cavities.
Does A Teeth Cleaning Hurt?
Teeth cleaning is not painful. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort, especially if your teeth are sensitive or you have gum inflammation. However, our dental team is trained and dedicated to making your experience as comfortable as possible.
How Long Does A Dental Checkup & Teeth Cleaning Take?
A standard dental checkup usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. This includes time for a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as teeth cleaning (if you’re scheduled for one). If X-rays are needed, the appointment may take a bit longer.
Why are X-rays Necessary?
X-rays are an essential part of a comprehensive dental checkup because they allow us to see areas of your teeth and jaw that aren’t visible during a regular exam. They help detect issues like cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, bone loss, or other hidden problems below the surface. X-rays are typically taken once a year, depending on your oral health needs.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings Success Stories
I first started coming to Murphy Family Density in 2003. Now I noticed it on the way home one day and was having some issues, so I stopped in and started talking to him and just formed a relationship with him, an outstanding relationship with him. From there, one of the reasons I continued to come back is the friendliness of the staff, the professionalism and the care they seem to have about your emotions, your composure, and the whole nine yards. They really seem to take care of you and make sure that you’re not in any discomfort in any way. Before they’ve started any procedure with me, they’ve outlined exactly what was going to take place step by step. That’s been very confident. You’re not surprised during a procedure at all. The fact that they have a high level of education, you teach Southwest and some of the other schools, I find very comforting. Their knowledge, their experience, along with the technology makes it an outstanding place to come. I would say you will be a hard pressed to find and more professional, simply outstanding dentist in the whole DFW area. Through the years I’ve ventured down in being retired military, I’ve been through the military dental program, and so other dental programs in the va. I have never found a dental program of people that are so calm and caring about your outcome and your dental health. I strongly recommend these people to anyone.
This is top of the line in every respect, in every way. I feel so great coming in here and this openness and warmth, and they’re very caring, friendly, accommodating, whatever you need. They’re here to do it. They absolutely go out of their way to make you comfortable and put you at ease. They just talk so softly and smoothly and you’re at ease before the camaraderie. How are your grandkids? What’s new in your life? And that kind of thing. And then before you know it, you’re at ease. Even if you’re a little anxious, the service that their employees give you, in addition to the doctors, they have the same goal. You’re number one. I developed a receding portion of one of my front teeth. Dr. Naja was able to take care of that very easily and very quickly. Well, having been to other dentists, I would have to say that it is the warmth and the friendliness and the caring that I appreciate so much. Even though I only see ’em a couple of times a year. I feel like I’m part of their family the minute I walk in here. So I think that makes a lot of difference to me because other offices have not been that way. I didn’t want to leave the other day. I truly didn’t want to leave. I told Donna, I said, I’d like to just sit here all so warm and comfortable.
