At Red Rock Dental, Dr. Alan McCaffrey and Dr. Thomas Booker combine over 20 years of experience with advanced diagnostic technology to provide thorough new patient examinations that leave no detail overlooked.

Deep Dental Cleanings & Consultation in Las Vegas, NV
Maintaining a healthy and clean mouth is a vital part of overall well-being. Keeping your teeth bright and vibrant needs a dedicated routine of both home and professional dental care. But when it comes to visiting a dental office, some people display extreme fear and anxiety. This is despite the fact that regular dental cleanings and consultations can decrease your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease.
At Red Rock Dental, you can expect an examination of your gums, teeth, and the soft tissues of your mouth, as well as a comprehensive cleaning. Dr. Alan McCaffrey will closely monitor your oral health and provide preventive care for any possible issues.
What to Expect During Your New Patient Exam
Your initial appointment begins with a detailed review of your medical and dental history, including any current concerns, medications, and previous treatments. This information helps our team understand your unique health profile and tailor your care accordingly. Dr. McCaffrey or Dr. Booker will then perform a comprehensive oral examination that includes checking your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and soft tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other conditions.
Digital X-rays provide detailed images that reveal problems not visible during the visual examination, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted wisdom teeth. Our state-of-the-art technology uses significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays while producing clearer, more detailed images. The examination also includes an assessment of your bite, jaw alignment, and any signs of teeth grinding or clenching that could lead to future problems.
Our Spanish-speaking staff ensures that language is never a barrier to getting quality dental care, making every patient feel comfortable and fully informed throughout their visit. This comprehensive approach allows us to detect issues early when they are most treatable and least expensive to address.
Professional Cleaning for Optimal Oral Health
The professional cleaning portion of your visit involves clearing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Our skilled dental hygienists use specialized instruments to carefully clean above and below the gum line, paying special attention to areas where bacteria tend to accumulate.
Plaque that remains on teeth for more than 24-48 hours hardens into tartar, which can only be removed through professional cleaning. This buildup contributes to gum inflammation, bad breath, and eventually more serious conditions like periodontal disease. The cleaning process also includes polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that resists future plaque accumulation.
Following your cleaning, our team provides personalized oral hygiene instruction based on your specific needs. This may include recommendations for brushing techniques, flossing methods, or specialized products that can help maintain your oral health between visits. Being proactive about oral health saves patients money, time, and discomfort by preventing problems before they require extensive treatment.
some standard services We Provide
Here are some standard services performed during your dental cleaning and consultation:
Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that helps us detect cavities and assess the jawbone structure and joints. Extraoral X-rays focus on the entire outside of the head and jaw joint. Intraoral X-rays capture images of the internal systems, like teeth and gums.
Oral Examination
Dr. Alan McCaffrey will perform a thorough oral examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. The teeth will be checked for signs of decay or wear and tooth sensitivity. The gum pockets will be evaluated for signs of gum recession or disease. The bite will be assessed to make sure it is properly aligned. Finally, your jaw will be measured to make sure it is functioning correctly.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Dr. Alan McCaffrey will use a scaler to scrape the plaque and tartar off your teeth during a professional tooth cleaning. This is essential because plaque and tartar contain millions of bacteria, leading to tooth cavities and gum disease. While plaque can be removed by brushing, tartar can only be removed with a dental scaler. But no matter how well you brush, there will always be parts that will be left out. Routine dental cleanings could focus on these spots and keep your teeth healthy and clean.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is on the rise, and hence we have incorporated oral cancer screenings into our regular dental exams. It consists of evaluating your gums and surrounding soft tissues to check for any abnormal changes in color or texture that could signify oral cancer.
Dental Consultation
The dental consultation is where Dr. Alan McCaffrey will discuss your oral and overall health. He will review your dental X-rays and discuss the findings from the dental exam. If needed, we will recommend treatments and address your concerns. Your general medical history and current list of medications will also be discussed because these play a significant role in your dental health.
A good understanding of your overall health can help you and your dentist improve your oral care habits.
