Why People Love Chasing Smiles

Why Are Dental Checkups Important?
Your smile is one of your most valuable assets, and keeping it healthy requires more than just brushing and flossing at home.
Regular dental checkups play a crucial role in preventing dental problems before they start.
By visiting Chasing Smiles every six months, you’re taking a proactive step to protect your teeth and gums from issues like cavities, gum disease, and more serious conditions that can affect your overall health.

Personalized Attention and Advice
We know that every patient is unique, and so are their dental care needs.
Dr. Chaudhry takes the time to get to know you and understand your concerns. After your examination, he’ll provide personalized advice on how to maintain your oral health between visits.
Whether you need tips on brushing and flossing, dietary advice, or recommendations for dental products, we’re here to help you achieve your healthiest smile.

A Relaxing Environment
We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients.
That’s why we’ve designed our Chevy Chase office to be a calming and welcoming space. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and a soothing environment, complete with scenic 12th-floor views.
Our goal is to make your visit as comfortable and pleasant as possible, so you leave feeling confident and cared for.
What to Expect During Your Dental Checkup
Professional Cleaning
Your checkup will start with a thorough professional cleaning by one of our skilled dental hygienists. This process removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t eliminate, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and polished. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease, keeping your smile bright and healthy.
Full Examination
After your cleaning, Dr. Chaudhry will perform a full examination of your teeth and gums. This comprehensive check allows us to spot any potential issues early on, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or signs of wear. By identifying problems early, we can provide treatment that’s less invasive and more effective, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
Digital X-rays
W use state-of-the-art digital X-rays to get a complete picture of your oral health. Digital X-rays are quick, comfortable, and provide detailed images that help us diagnose issues that aren’t visible during a regular examination, such as cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, and bone loss. These high-resolution images are an essential tool for creating a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is a serious condition, but when caught early, it’s highly treatable. That’s why every dental checkup at Chasing Smiles includes a thorough oral cancer screening. Dr. Chaudhry will carefully examine your mouth, throat, and neck for any signs of abnormalities. This screening is quick and painless but plays a crucial role in protecting your overall health.
