Refresh Your Smile with Expert Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings do more than just polish your teeth - they help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular cleanings, along with routine checkups, are essential for maintaining long-term oral health.
Personalized Cleaning Options for Your Smile
Every smile is unique - and so is every cleaning. Whether you're due for your regular checkup or need more advanced gum care, our dental team offers the right type of cleaning for your needs. Discover how each type plays a key role in preventing disease and keeping your mouth healthy.
Prophylaxis Cleaning (Routine Cleaning)
This is the standard cleaning done during regular dental checkups. It involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the tooth surfaces above the gumline. Recommended every six months, prophylaxis helps prevent cavities and gum disease and keeps your smile fresh and healthy.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Used to treat early to moderate gum disease, this type of cleaning goes beneath the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the tooth roots. The root surfaces are then smoothed to help the gums reattach and heal. It may require local anesthesia and is often done over multiple visits.
Gross Debridement Cleaning
This is a more intensive cleaning for patients who haven’t had a dental cleaning in a long time. It removes heavy tartar and plaque buildup both above and below the gums to prepare the mouth for a more thorough evaluation or additional treatment.
Periodontal Maintenance Cleaning
After a patient has been treated for gum disease, regular periodontal maintenance cleanings are scheduled every 3–4 months to prevent recurrence. These cleanings go deeper than routine ones and help maintain gum and bone health over time.
