Professional Teeth Cleanings
Both natural teeth and restorations thrive in a clean oral environment. Regular professional cleanings prevent new cavities, preserve restored teeth, and help manage periodontal disease.
About this treatment
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar in places a toothbrush can't reach. Our hygienists remove this buildup with gentle ultrasonic and hand instruments, then polish your teeth to a smooth, bright finish. At your first visit oral hygiene instructions are reviewed, and they are reinforced at each recall.
We also screen for early signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer at every visit — catching problems while they are small and easy to treat. Recommendations like brushing twice daily in circular motions, nightly flossing, avoiding sticky sugary foods, and using fluoride rinses help keep results lasting between visits.
