What happens at a dental checkup in Maywood, NJ?

A checkup at Spring Valley Dental Care includes a professional cleaning by a hygienist to remove plaque and tartar, digital X-rays when they’re due, an oral cancer screening, and an exam by Dr. John Mady, DDS, FAGD, who checks every tooth, your gums, your bite and any existing fillings or crowns. Most visits take about an hour.

New patients can book a comprehensive exam, full X-rays and cleaning for $97 (a $390 value). We recommend a checkup every six months for most adults and children.

Your visit, step by step

What happens at a checkup at Spring Valley Dental Care

No surprises. Here is exactly what your hour with us looks like.

Review & X-rays

We update your health history, take digital X-rays if they’re due (90% less radiation than film) and scan them with Pearl AI to flag early decay between teeth.

Professional cleaning

Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar above and just below the gum line, then polishes away surface stains. Gentle, thorough and never rushed.

Dr. Mady’s exam

Every tooth, your gums, your bite, existing fillings and crowns, your jaw joints, plus an oral cancer screening. He shows you what he sees on screen.

A plan you understand

If something needs attention, you get a written plan with options and cost—what to do now, what can wait. Then we book your next cleaning.

Why regular checkups matter

Six months is not an arbitrary number

Plaque hardens into tartar in a matter of days, and once it does, no toothbrush removes it. Twice-a-year cleanings keep tartar off your teeth and out from under your gums—the two places cavities and gum disease start.

  • Cavities are found early. A small filling today instead of a root canal and crown next year.
  • Gum disease is stopped. The leading cause of adult tooth loss is silent until it isn’t. We measure your gums at every visit.
  • Oral cancer screening. A two-minute check that is part of every exam here.
  • Your restorations last longer. We check the fit of fillings, crowns and bridges before a small problem becomes a broken tooth.
  • Grinding, sensitivity, stains. Bring them up. A night guard, fluoride or whitening is usually a simple fix.
  • It is the cheapest appointment in dentistry. Most insurance covers cleanings at 100%; our membership plan covers them without insurance.

A checkup with modern technology

The tools in our Maywood operatories change what a routine visit can find—and how comfortable it feels.

  • Digital X-rays — instant images, about 90% less radiation than film.
  • Pearl AI — artificial-intelligence software that reviews your X-rays alongside Dr. Mady to flag early cavities and bone loss.
  • Intraoral scanner — a quick digital scan replaces gooey impressions for night guards, whitening trays and crowns.
  • 3D CBCT imaging — when a tooth or implant needs a closer look, without sending you elsewhere.
  • Same-day crowns — if a checkup finds a cracked tooth, it can often be crowned the same day.
Every age, one office

Family dentistry for Bergen County

Our practice was founded in 1977 and many of today’s patients were brought here as children by parents who are still patients. We schedule families together when we can, and we treat every generation under one roof:

  • Children — gentle first visits, cleanings, fluoride and sealants, and honest advice on habits.
  • Teens — wisdom tooth monitoring, sports guards, whitening before the big events.
  • Adults — cleanings, fillings, crowns, cosmetic work and anything else life throws at your teeth.
  • Seniors — dry-mouth care, root cavities, crowns and bridges, and implant options when teeth can’t be saved.

Anxious about the dentist? Say so. We offer laughing gas, oral sedation and in-house IV sedation—and we plan your visit around it.

Patient reviews

Why Bergen County patients trust our team

“Dr. Mady and staff were exceptional. I had a dental bone graft, a tooth pulled, and some fillings. Dr. Mady has certainly got a grasp on his craft. For the amount of work done I was in and out of the office in good time.”
Dan McDonnellGoogle review
“Been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. I accidentally showed up an hour early and the entire staff was so accommodating and flexible. Everyone jumped in and helped out, including the Dr. doing my cleaning.”
Nicollette PoveromoGoogle review
“Dr. Mady is the best dentist around, hands down. He has a gentle hand and is extremely knowledgeable. The staff is amazing, they have flexible hours and accept most insurances. I would recommend them to everyone, especially those who are afraid of the dentist.”

Common questions

Questions patients ask us

Don’t see your question? Call us—a real person at our Maywood front desk will answer.

How much is a dental cleaning in Maywood, NJ without insurance?
New patients pay $97 for a comprehensive exam, full set of X-rays and a cleaning—a $390 value. After that, our $287-per-year membership plan covers two cleanings, exams and X-rays with no insurance required, and members receive discounts on other treatment. Ask the front desk for details when you schedule.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Every six months for most healthy adults and children. If you have gum disease, wear braces, smoke, or build tartar quickly, Dr. Mady may recommend every three to four months. Regular visits let us catch small cavities and early gum problems while they are cheap and painless to fix.
Does a cleaning hurt?
A routine cleaning should not hurt. If your gums are inflamed you may feel some tenderness, and if it has been a long time since your last visit we can numb the area. Tell your hygienist if anything is uncomfortable—we adjust, we don’t push through.
Do you take X-rays at every visit?
No. Digital bite-wing X-rays are typically taken once a year and a full series every three to five years, depending on your risk. Our digital sensors use about 90% less radiation than old film X-rays, and Pearl AI software helps Dr. Mady spot early decay between teeth that is easy to miss by eye.
Do you see children?
Yes. Spring Valley Dental Care is a family practice—we see kids, parents and grandparents, often on the same day. Bring your child along to your own appointment so the office feels familiar before their first cleaning.
What is a deep cleaning, and do I need one?
A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by cleaning below the gum line where a regular cleaning can’t reach. Dr. Mady will recommend it only if your exam shows deep gum pockets, bleeding or bone loss. It is done with local anesthetic, usually over two visits, and often prevents tooth loss later.
Which insurance do you accept for cleanings?
We are in network with Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Delta Dental Premier, GEHA, Guardian, Lincoln Financial, MetLife and UnitedHealthcare, and we accept out-of-network benefits from most other plans. Most plans cover two cleanings per year at 100%. See our insurance page.
I haven’t been to a dentist in years. Will you judge me?
No. It happens more than you think, and our job is to help—not lecture. Start with the free limited exam and X-ray or the $97 comprehensive visit; Dr. Mady will explain what he sees in plain English and what, if anything, needs attention first. Sedation is available if anxiety has kept you away.
Where do patients come from?
Our Maywood office is minutes from Hackensack, Paramus, Rochelle Park, Saddle Brook, Lodi, Teaneck and Fair Lawn, and families drive from Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Oradell, River Edge and across Bergen County. Free parking on site.
