At Dental Depot in Aubrey, we focus on keeping your teeth and gums healthy for the long run. Preventive care — including routine exams and professional cleanings — allows us to catch potential problems early, protect against decay, and maintain a strong foundation for your smile.
Whether you’re coming in for your first visit or it’s time for your regular six-month checkup, our team makes every appointment personalized, comfortable, and thorough. Taking care of your teeth shouldn’t feel stressful — we make it easy, straightforward, and something you can feel good about.
Not every dental problem announces itself with pain or obvious symptoms — many begin quietly and worsen over time. That’s why routine checkups are so important. At Dental Depot in Aubrey, our comprehensive exams give us the opportunity to detect concerns early, when they’re easier and more affordable to treat.
Hidden cavities or early decay
Signs of gum disease at any stage
Infections or abscesses that may be developing
Tissue changes that could indicate oral cancer
Bite or jaw alignment issues
Old or worn restorations, such as fillings, crowns, or bridges
By identifying problems early, we can help you avoid more serious treatment down the road. Regular dental exams not only protect your smile — they also play an important role in supporting your overall health.
Most patients benefit from a dental checkup every six months. These regular visits help prevent cavities, keep gums healthy, and give your dentist the chance to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Of course, every smile is unique. If you’ve had gum disease, frequent cavities, or other ongoing concerns, your dentist in Aubrey may suggest more frequent visits to stay on top of your oral health.
For children, early care makes a big difference. The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend scheduling a child’s first dental visit between 6 months and 1 year old — usually after the first tooth appears. Early appointments not only allow us to track development but also help kids get comfortable in the dental chair, making future visits easier and less stressful.
By making dental care a consistent part of life — for both kids and adults — you’re setting the stage for healthier teeth, stronger gums, and better overall wellness.
Even with great brushing and flossing habits, there are areas your toothbrush simply can’t reach. Over time, plaque can harden into tartar, and once that happens, only a professional cleaning can remove it. That’s where our Aubrey hygienists come in — providing gentle, thorough care that keeps your smile fresh, healthy, and confident.
At Dental Depot in Aubrey, a cleaning isn’t just about that “fresh from the dentist” feeling — it’s an important part of protecting your overall oral health.

Regular dental checkups and cleanings provide an array of benefits to your oral and overall health. Routine visits allow your dentist to address any concerns in a timely manner, so little problems don’t become big problems, and to minimize any plaque or bacteria accumulation, which could cause complications in the future like cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.
The American Dental Association recommends most people visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning. During these visits, a dental hygienist will professionally clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar that has accumulated or developed, and a dentist will examine your teeth, mouth, and tongue for any signs of tooth decay, infection, or other health concern. If you have significant problems with your oral health, such as gum disease or severe tooth decay, your dentist may recommend that you come in more frequently so they can monitor and treat your condition.
On average, a dental checkup or cleaning lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. During a checkup or cleaning, a dental hygienist will professionally clean and floss your teeth and the dentist will examine your oral hygiene and assess your risk for oral cancer. The purpose of a dental cleaning is to remove plaque and tartar–which build up and cannot be cleaned with brushing alone–and identify any signs of tooth decay, infection, or other problems like bone loss. The exact length of your appointment will depend on factors like how long it takes the hygienist to clean your teeth, if you are having any x-rays, and if you are receiving any additional treatments such as fluoride.
Dental cleanings are a gentle and non-invasive preventative measure to preserve and maintain gum and tooth health. Usually when one refers to a cleaning it is a prophylaxis dental cleaning, which is intended to prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease from developing. Deep cleaning, on the other hand, is used to treat gum disease by removing bacteria that has formed under infected gum tissue. Dental deep cleaning is also commonly referred to as scaling and root planing. No matter what type of cleaning you receive, all cleanings have the same purpose of removing debris and increasing oral health and overall wellbeing.
Generally speaking, a dental cleaning, dental exam, and dental checkup all happen at the same time during your bi-annual visit to the dentist. The dental cleaning portion of your visit is when the hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and debris from your teeth and gums, professionally brushes them with a strong toothpaste, and flosses them. The dental exam, or dental checkup, is when the dentist assesses your oral health by evaluating each tooth, assessing your gum health, and evaluating your risk for oral cancer.
You and your family can receive all of these services and more at Dental Depot, where we make it easy and convenient to get the affordable care you need for a healthy smile.
