Dr. Lazare uses biomimetic restoration and dental techniques to treat fractured, weak, and decayed teeth in a way that strengthens them and seals them from the invasion of bacteria. We use the latest dental technology and materials to preserve your teeth.
Comprehensive Dental Cleaning & Routine Checkups
Teeth cleaning and checkups help stop dental problems before they start and are a vital part of preventative dental care. Dr. Lazare recommends that each patient schedules a tooth cleaning and checkup every six months.
A bi-yearly New York City dental exam and teeth cleaning is the best way to ensure a beautiful smile year-round. We use sophisticated tools to comfortably clear away plaque and bacteria that build on the teeth and gums and hide in tiny areas that can’t be reached at home, even with daily brushing and flossing.
Dr. Lazare completes a thorough oral exam and checks for tooth decay, cavities, oral cancer, gum disease, etc. Checkups allow Dr. Lazare to catch any dental issues early and take care of them with quick, easy, and conservative biomimetic tooth-preserving treatments.
Who Should Schedule Routine Dental Visits?
Everyone—from young children to older adults—should prioritize regular dental checkups and cleanings. These visits aren't just for when you have a toothache or notice a problem. Preventive care helps avoid future issues and ensures your smile stays healthy and radiant for years to come. Children benefit by establishing strong oral habits early, while adults can prevent decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss through consistent care.

Super comprehensive exam and consultation. Dr. Lazare explained everything thoroughly, walked me through his processes, and outlined various options for treatment. He also spent more time with me in one session than all the other dentists I’ve ever been to have collectively.

Cleanings help to eradicate bacteria and maintain a healthy mouth. Dr. Lazare looks for the following issues during an oral exam:
Decay
Loose fillings, crowns, or bridgework
Oral cancer
Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
Dr. Lazare offers virtual consultations for patients who cannot make it into the office via Zoom, Go To Meeting, or Facetime.
Why Routine Cleanings and Exams Matter
Bi-yearly visits allow your dentist to remove stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t eliminate. This not only helps prevent cavities and gum disease but also allows your dental team to detect early signs of issues like gingivitis or oral cancer. Catching these problems early means less invasive and less costly treatments. It's one of the simplest ways to safeguard your long-term oral health and maintain a confident, beautiful smile.
Cleaning
Tooth brushing and flossing at home helps remove plaque. Still, only a professional cleaning by the dentist or hygienist can thoroughly clean the teeth and remove calculus or tartar that builds on the teeth between visits.
Polishing
Prevention
X-rays

What’s Involved In a Dental Cleaning?
There are two parts involved in every tooth cleaning and dental checkup visit. The hygienist cleans and polishes the patient’s teeth, documents any medication changes, and discusses their oral hygiene. Dr. Lazare then performs an oral exam, reviews the x-rays, checks any concerns, and answers any questions the patient may have. When necessary, he recommends a treatment plan. Based on the patient’s goals, Dr. Lazare may recommend cosmetic options, etc.
