Comprehensive Exams, Cleanings, X-Rays, and Oral Cancer Screenings

Keeping your smile healthy starts with routine preventive care. At Marina Klappas DDS, P.C., we combine thorough exams, gentle cleanings, modern digital X‑rays, and oral cancer screenings into one seamless visit — giving you a complete picture of your oral health and helping prevent problems before they start.

A comprehensive exam evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and existing dental work. Dr. Klappas checks for early signs of decay, cracks, gum disease, wear, and other issues that may not yet cause symptoms. This proactive approach helps you stay ahead of potential problems.

A cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t reach. Our hygienists use gentle, modern techniques to keep your gums healthy and your smile bright. Cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

Digital X‑rays provide a clear, detailed look at areas we can’t see during a visual exam — including between teeth and below the gums. They use significantly less radiation than traditional film X‑rays and help us diagnose issues early, when they’re easiest to treat.

An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless check of your lips, cheeks, tongue, throat, and soft tissues. We look for early signs of abnormalities that may require further evaluation. Early detection is key, and screenings are an important part of every comprehensive visit.

Most patients complete all four services in a single visit. You’ll receive a gentle cleaning, digital X‑rays if needed, a thorough exam, and an oral cancer screening. We’ll walk you through your results, answer questions, and create a personalized plan to keep your smile healthy.

We take a friendly, educational approach so you always understand your oral health. Dr. Klappas focuses on comfort, prevention, and clear communication, making each visit relaxed and informative.

We proudly serve Williston Park, East Williston, Mineola, Roslyn, and surrounding Long Island communities.
