Why Vero Dental Spa Stands Out
Sure, there are other dentists in Vero Beach, but Vero Dental Spa is in a league of its own. Here’s why we’re the top pick for dental care:
- Years of Expertise: Dr. Royal’s 27 years of experience and advanced training (think IV sedation and dental implants) mean you’re getting dental care you can trust.
- Relaxing Atmosphere: Our dental office feels like a spa, not a clinic, with a warm, welcoming vibe that takes the edge off dental visits.
- Advanced Dental Tools: We use cutting-edge tech like digital X-rays and advanced diagnostics for pinpoint accuracy in every exam.
- Affordable Access: We work with most insurance plans and offer CareCredit and in-house payment options to make exams budget-friendly, even if you’re uninsured.
- Local Love: Dr. Royal’s deep ties to Vero Beach—from coaching soccer to crafting smiles—make us a practice that’s all about community.
Why Dental Exams Are Essential for Your Health
Early Detection of Dental Issues
Regular exams allow our dentist to catch problems like cavities, gum disease, or tooth decay before they escalate. Early intervention saves you from costly treatments and discomfort down the road.
Prevention of Gum Disease
Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and even impact your heart health. During an exam, Dr. Royal checks for signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, ensuring timely treatment.
Oral Cancer Screening
Dentists perform oral cancer screenings during routine exams, checking for abnormal tissues or lesions. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, making these screenings a critical part of your visit.
Overall Health Connection
Your mouth is a window to your body’s health. Conditions like diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, and even stress can manifest in your oral cavity. An exam can provide insights into your broader health.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
When you come in for a routine dental visit, you can expect the following:
- Medical History Review: Our Vero Beach general dentist will ask about your medical history, medications, and any recent changes in your health or dental hygiene. This helps us tailor the exam to your needs.
- Visual Inspection: Using a small mirror and probe, the dentist examines your teeth, gums, and soft tissues for signs of decay, cracks, or inflammation. They’ll also check your bite and jaw alignment.
- Dental X-Rays (If Needed): X-rays may be taken to detect hidden issues like impacted teeth, bone loss, or cavities between teeth. These are typically done annually or as needed.
- Professional Dental Cleaning: A dental hygienist will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. They’ll also polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish.
- Oral Health Discussion: Your dentist will discuss their findings, recommend treatments if necessary, and provide tips for maintaining good oral hygiene at home.

How Often Should You Get a Dental Exam?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting the dentist every six months for a routine exam and cleaning. However, your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your oral health needs. For example:
- High-risk individuals (i.e., smokers, those with gum disease, or frequent cavities) may need quarterly visits.
- Children benefit from biannual dental checkups to monitor tooth development.
- Adults with excellent oral health may sometimes extend to annual visits, but only with the dentist’s approval.
What happens if I skip a dental checkup and cleaning appointment?
Skipping checkups and teeth cleanings can harm your oral health. During checkups, dentists can detect and prevent problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Regular appointments help you achieve good oral health. Skipping cleanings can cause plaque and tartar buildup, leading to more severe issues.
Do I need a dental exam if I have dentures?
Yes, even with dentures, you need regular exams to check the fit, monitor oral tissues, and screen for issues like oral cancer.
