Preventive Care at a Specialist Practice
Preventive dental care — professional cleanings, comprehensive exams, and X-rays — is the foundation of long-term oral health. At Huntington Beach Prosthodontics, your preventive visits are conducted by or under the direct supervision of Dr. Favian Cheong, ensuring that any restorations, implants, or complex dental work you have receives specialist-level monitoring at every visit.

Many patients with complex dental histories — multiple crowns, implants, bridges, veneers, or dentures — benefit from receiving their routine preventive care at the same practice that manages their restorations. Consolidating all care in one location means your complete dental record is always current, Dr. Favian Cheong can spot early signs of problems with any restoration during your cleaning visit, and there is no coordination required between multiple practices when treatment planning becomes necessary.
Professional dental cleanings remove calculus (tartar) that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. Calculus buildup leads to gum disease, which in turn affects the supporting bone around both natural teeth and dental implants. For patients with implants, peri-implant disease (the implant analog of gum disease) is a significant concern — and catching it early at routine cleaning appointments can prevent implant loss.
Comprehensive examinations include digital X-rays (using low-radiation digital sensors), periodontal charting (measuring gum pocket depths), oral cancer screening, bite assessment, and evaluation of all existing restorations. For new patients, a complete records appointment establishes your baseline — the reference point against which all future changes are measured.
