DENTAL EXAMS & CLEANINGS
Dental Exam
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will perform the following:
-
Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
-
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
-
Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
-
Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
-
Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.
Professional Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings (dental prophylaxis) are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the following:
-
Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
-
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease!
-
Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

What our patients say
I couldn’t recommend this dental office enough. I have seen so many dentists in the last 4 years trying to fix my situation. I was always met with judgement and never kindness until I found Dr.khan and his team of lovely assistants. He took his time and truly wanted to work with me & not just want to take out all my teeth. They worked with me with financing which I never thought would be possible. dr.khan and everyone involved have truly given me my life & my confidence back. If you’re reading this because you’re trying to find a dentist, please don’t go to those corporate places that don’t care about you. This is truly a family dental office and I felt more taken care of than I ever have.
Everyone at the office was very kind! My hygienist today explained everything in detail and talked to me like a friend not just another patient.I enjoyed my visit!!
I came in for a consultation to talk with Dr. Khan about some possible options. I feel the service I received from him was great, he exceeded what I was expecting. I felt he took the time to explain my options. Looking forward to moving forward here soon. So far I’d recommend his practice.
First time appointment at North Texas Family Dental! The entire experience went well. I had a general exam, cleaning, I had several questions about a missing tooth and possible implant. The service I received here was great and exceeded my expectations. Good service all around and I’d highly recommend them!
Losing teeth caused me to lose a lot of my confidence. I was anxious about the cost of replacing them when I came to this office. However, the staff was incredibly supportive and made it affordable for me to get the dental work I needed. Thanks to them, I will soon have a restored smile and regain my confidence.
If you’re hesitate I’m here to share my experience. Neisha is amazing wonderful assistant, great customer service! Pretty smile, very outgoing personality. Dr. Khan did everything above and beyond to make sure I was happy and satisfied. The wait time was bare minimum and the front office staff was excellent! I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Greeted with a welcoming smile from the most caring staff! Dr Khan is amazing! Has gentle hands and a huge heart! So thankful to have found this dentist office.

Zero pain. Awesome communication from Dentist and the staff is very friendly. We will continue making the 50 mile trip to do business here.
Dr. Kahn was amazing, he was really kind to me and did amazing managing my anxiety and making sure that I finally get everything taken care of. I was in some immense pain from a previous dentist not doing the work properly. So I am super thankful and grateful I finally found an amazing dentist. He even called to check on me after my procedure it is a great office
