Routine Dental Care for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
The key to a beautiful smile is a healthy smile. Many different problems can compromise your oral health, so our team offers an array of services to keep your smile at its best, starting with routine cleanings. Every patient is different, with different needs, but something we recommend for everyone is a routine cleaning at least every six months.
Regular visits allow us to keep an eye on any issues that may arise and treat them before they become serious. Catching concerns early can save you the money and complications that come with putting off care, the sooner we catch and treat a minor problem, the less likely you are to need more costly, invasive treatments like implants or bridges.
For your cleaning, our staff spends about 45 minutes cleaning, polishing, and removing tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth. But our team does more than clean, Dr. Ahmadi performs a full exam, checking for tooth decay, gingivitis, and even signs of oral cancer, and we apply a fluoride treatment to help prevent future cavities.

What is general dentistry?
General dentistry covers the routine care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy, like exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and gum care. At Valley Dental Turlock, Dr. Ahmadi focuses on preventing issues before they start and treating problems early when they are easiest to manage.
How often should I visit the dentist?
It is recommended to have a check-up and cleaning at least every six months. Regular visits let us find and address small issues early, which helps prevent bigger, costlier treatments later on.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
During a cleaning we remove built-up tartar and polish your teeth. Then Dr. Ahmadi checks for signs of decay and gum disease (gingivitis), and screens for oral cancer. For most patients the process includes a cleaning plus a complete exam.
Do you offer dental care for the whole family?
Yes, we welcome patients of all ages, from young children to older adults. Whether you need a child’s first exam or ongoing care for yourself, we provide comfortable, friendly general dentistry in Turlock and the surrounding areas.
