Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Orland Square Dental provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

This was my first time here after transferring from Midwest Dental's Palos Heights office, which closed. Very friendly and caring staff. My teeth cleaning was the most "pleasant" I have ever experienced, at least I wouldn't rate it as torture like most. Dr. Correa carefully and thoroughly examined my teeth and my X-rays. Going in, I wasn't sure I would want to continue traveling the extra distance to this location, but my positive experience will encourage me to come back.
I didn't need to wait. My oral hygienist, Julie, was great as well as the receptionist. Dr Correa is always friendly and encouraging. He is thorough with his exam of the teeth and explains in detail what he sees. I surely recommend OrlandSquare Dental.
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I actually enjoyed my experience at the dentist! Thank you for the thorough cleaning and exam. Dana was great.
Extremely pleased with the consistent, courteous and professional service of Dr. Correa and all his staff. My exams are always prompt and thorough and Dr. Correa clearly explains the status of my teeth and gums. I highly recommend Orland Square Dental.
I have been a patient of this office for about 2 years now, and happy I chose to do so. Dr.Correa is very thorough with exams and explains any treatment that needs to be done and most importantly WHY. My dental cleanings are pain free and the hygienist is very informative on everything she does, as well as providing any feedback on what can be improved on. You’ll definitely be in good hands when coming here!
