1. Assessment
We start with a focused conversation about your health and concerns, then perform a clinical exam. Digital X‑rays or an iTero 3D scan may be taken to evaluate what can’t be seen visually.

Dental Exams & Cleanings in Toronto
Regular dental exams and professional cleanings keep teeth and gums healthy and help catch problems early. At Belman Dental Centre we provide gentle, evidence-informed preventive care for families in Davisville, Eglinton and Midtown Toronto using digital X‑rays and the iTero Element 3D scanner.
What happens during your cleaning and exam
Your visit combines a thorough hygiene appointment with a dental assessment. The hygienist removes plaque and tartar and polishes teeth, while the dentist inspects your mouth for changes and reviews risk factors that affect oral health.
Common elements include:
- A review of your medical and dental history and any concerns you have
- Professional scaling to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline
- Polishing and fluoride treatment when appropriate
- A clinical exam to check teeth, gums, bite and oral soft tissues
- Digital X‑rays or 3D scans when needed to evaluate underlying structure
Care for every age and stage
We welcome patients of all ages. Preventive visits can include sealants, fluoride, guidance on home care and monitoring of developing teeth for children, and specialised periodontal care or maintenance for adults as required.
Routine visits help us detect early changes so treatment can be planned with the least disruption. If specialised care is advisable, your general dentist will discuss options and refer to a trusted specialist when appropriate.
Comfort, safety and technology
We use digital X‑rays and the iTero Element 3D scanner to reduce radiation exposure and improve diagnostic accuracy. For anxious patients we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation options; your dentist will review suitability during assessment.
Belman Dental Centre is located at 1881 Yonge St., Suite 403, Toronto, ON M4S 3C4 and serves Davisville, Eglinton and Midtown Toronto. Our team follows infection control standards and focuses on comfortable, patient‑centred care.

Good to Know
Dental Exams & Cleanings FAQs
How often should I come for an exam and cleaning?
Many patients benefit from visits every six months, but the appropriate interval depends on your oral health, medical history and risk factors. Your general dentist will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs during the assessment.
Do you use digital X‑rays and 3D scanning?
Yes. We use digital X‑rays and the iTero Element 3D scanner when indicated. These technologies improve diagnostic clarity, help with treatment planning and typically expose you to less radiation than traditional film X‑rays.
What is a periodontal deep cleaning and when is it needed?
A periodontal deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a more thorough cleaning below the gumline intended to remove buildup and help manage gum health. Whether it’s appropriate is determined by clinical measurements and the dentist’s assessment; referral to a periodontist is arranged if specialised care is advised.
Are fluoride and dental sealants available for children?
Yes. Fluoride treatments and sealants are preventive options we offer for children and adults when clinically appropriate. Your dentist will discuss the benefits and timing for these treatments during your visit.
I’m nervous about dental visits—what options help with anxiety?
We offer comfort-focused care, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation when clinically appropriate, along with calming communication and a gradual approach. Your dentist will review your health history, needs and suitability before recommending any sedative option.
