Why Regular Cleanings Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile
A professional dental cleaning — also called a prophylaxis — goes far beyond what your toothbrush can accomplish at home. Our skilled hygienists use specialized instruments to remove hardened tartar (calculus) from above and below the gumline, polish your enamel to remove surface stains, and carefully examine your gum tissue for early signs of disease.
We recommend professional cleanings every six months for most patients. However, patients with a history of gum disease, diabetes, or other risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits — typically every three to four months. During your appointment, we'll assess your individual needs and recommend the right schedule for you.

Our team takes the time to educate you on proper brushing and flossing techniques so you can maintain your results between visits.
The Dental Cleanings Process
Exam & X-Rays
We begin with a comprehensive exam and, when appropriate, digital X-rays to assess bone levels and detect issues between teeth.
Tartar Removal
Our hygienist uses ultrasonic and hand scalers to remove calculus deposits that cause gum inflammation and bad breath.
Polishing
A gentle polishing paste removes surface stains and leaves your teeth smooth and clean.
Fluoride Treatment
A professional fluoride application strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities between visits.
