Dental Exams and Cleanings in Raleigh

Dental Exams and Cleanings RaleighWhen you think about dental exams and cleanings or doctor visits of any kind, the old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” quickly comes to mind. At Gover and Gover Dentistry, we have our own saying: “Two dental exams a year keeps the cavities away!” Obviously it’s not quite as catchy, but hopefully it gets our point across well enough. In addition to your daily brushing and flossing, regular dental exams and teeth cleanings are vitally important in keeping your teeth healthy, strong, and looking their best.

Oral Exams and Teeth Cleaning at Gover and Gover Dentistry

At Gover and Gover, dental exams include thorough inspection by our expert dentists, Dr. Susan Gover and Dr. David Gover. Tooth X-rays (using our digital X-ray system) and consultations on any issues that are spotted help you make the most informed choice on how to proceed with necessary treatment.

If too much time is allowed to pass between dental exams and tooth cleanings, plaque and tooth decay can slowly build up until you’re faced with a much bigger—and potentially more painful—oral health issue that is costlier to fix. But when you visit Gover and Gover Dentistry in Raleigh for regular dental exams and cleanings, here are just a few benefits you’ll receive.

Benefits of Regular Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings

  • Better Oral Health – Proper upkeep of your teeth is crucial for avoiding tooth decay, gum disease, halitosis, as well as other unwanted oral conditions
  • More Savings – It’s not a perfect analogy, but you may remember an old car care commercial that quoted, “You can pay me now or pay me later” with the inference being it would cost much more later. Dental care is no different. For instance, a low-cost dental sealant procedure can protect against tooth decay for up to 10 years. Or you could ignore your tooth care and let an undetected cavity go too long and and face a much costlier and more painful root canal later. Regular dental checkups and maintenance with regular cleanings and teeth X-Rays are the answer to these potential problems and their associated costs.
  • A Better Smile – When your teeth get regular cleanings, it improves their aesthetic appeal too … think “whiter, brighter smile.” That happy, healthy smile in turn is a confidence and mood booster that others perceive positively.

In providing dental exams and cleanings for Raleigh residents, Gover and Gover Dentistry does all it can to ensure your time with us is as comfortable and convenient as possible. By scheduling your appointment well in advance, you can ensure a timely response to all your dental health needs.

I have been with Gover and Gover since they were originally Averett and Pleasants 30 years ago. I would not have stayed with them and brought my wife in to their practice if they weren’t the best.

I’ve been with this dentistry establishment for more than 30 years. Last year I celebrated my “25-year-anniversary” seeing Leigh Ann — as my hygienist. She’s knowledgeable, personable, and efficient.

My family and I have been with Gover and Gover for about 15-20 years now—I was actually one of their very first regular patients back when they started in Raleigh!

After I moved to Durham, I thought about switching to a dentist closer to home, but Dr. Susan and Dr. David felt like family. When Dr. Susan retired, I tried out another dentist, but honestly, it just didn't feel right—it felt like I was cheating on my dentist! It just didn't feel like home.

Anyway, I recently ran into an issue that needed some "out of the box" thinking for custom crown work, and my new go-to, Dr. Tanner Dice, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to figure out a solution and address my issue. Plus, I received a nice parting gift that I’ll definitely be enjoying this evening!

A huge shout-out to the awesome support staff for being so great: Lynn, Libby, Amber, Tuck, Danielle, Leighann, and the rest of the team I haven't met yet. You are all so appreciated!

Julie at Gover and Gover is the best! She’s been my hygienist for 10 years and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Both Doctor Govers make the experience as painless as possible.

I have been coming here for over 12 years. A couple of years ago they changed their policy to where you have to pay all fillings in full and the insurance cuts you a check. It was annoying but fine I guess. Until this time. It’s been 2 months and we are still waiting for reimbursement. Insurance said the dentist office never filed anything. We will have to get another dentist which is unfortunate.
