What is a Professional Dental Cleaning?
A Refreshing, Healthy Smile Starts Here
Even with great at-home dental care, plaque and tartar can still build up in places your toothbrush and floss can’t reach. Over time, this buildup can lead to cavities, gum disease, and chronic bad breath.
A professional dental cleaning clears away these harmful deposits, leaving your teeth feeling smooth, fresh, and protected. It’s a small step that makes a big impact on your long-term oral health.
During your visit, we’ll carefully remove plaque and tartar, polish away surface stains, and floss thoroughly to give you a truly deep clean. Regular cleanings — usually every six months — not only keep your teeth in tip-top shape, but they also allow us to catch potential issues early and prevent bigger dental problems down the road.
Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a regular patient, we are committed to making every cleaning as thorough and refreshing as possible.
What to Expect During a Professional Dental Cleaning
Understanding what happens during a dental cleaning can help you feel more comfortable and confident about your dental visit.
The American Dental Association recommends a professional dental cleaning at least once every six months, but what does the process involve? Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Comprehensive Dental Exam
Your visit begins with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. A dental hygienist checks for signs of plaque buildup, cavities, loose fillings, gum disease, or signs of oral cancer. Depending on the findings, X-rays may be recommended for a more detailed evaluation.
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Using specialized dental tools, we carefully remove hardened tartar and plaque, especially in hard-to-reach areas where regular brushing and flossing may not reach.
Deep Cleaning and Polishing
A high-powered electric brush and professional-grade toothpaste are used to polish your teeth and remove any remaining surface stains.
Flossing and Optional Fluoride Treatment
We complete the process with expert flossing and an optional fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and provide extra protection against cavities.
Benefits of Regular Dental Cleanings
Stop Cavities and Gum Disease Before They Start
Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, but regular cleanings help keep both in check. By removing harmful bacteria, we can prevent cavities and stop gum disease before it becomes a bigger problem.
Enjoy Fresher Breath and a Brighter Smile
Bad breath? Stubborn stains? A professional cleaning takes care of both. Polishing removes surface stains from coffee, tea, and more, while deep cleaning eliminates the bacteria that cause bad breath — so your smile looks and feels fresher.
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Your dental health is closely connected to your overall health and well-being. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even respiratory infections.
Laser Gum Treatment for Advanced Care
A Gentle, High-Tech Solution for Healthier Gums
If you have gum inflammation or early-stage periodontal disease, laser gum treatment is a cutting-edge, painless alternative to traditional therapy. It’s especially effective for those experiencing bleeding gum lines, sensitivity, or other signs of gum disease. Here’s why patients opt for laser gum treatment:
- Minimally Invasive with Faster Healing
Unlike traditional procedures that require cutting or stitching, laser treatment works without incisions — meaning less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and a quicker recovery time. - Targets Disease While Protecting Healthy Tissue
Laser technology carefully removes bacteria and diseased tissue and leaves healthy gum tissue intact. This helps to stop infection in its tracks and preserve your natural gums. - Encourages Gum Regeneration and Prevents Recession
Laser gum treatment eliminates infection and stimulates healthy tissue growth, which reduces the risk of further gum recession and bone loss.
How Laser Gum Treatment Works
Step 1: Gentle Evaluation of Your Gums
Before starting the procedure, we carefully examine your gums to assess the level of infection or inflammation. This helps us identify the areas that need treatment and ensure the laser is used with precision.
Step 2: Targeting Bacteria and Diseased Tissue
A specialized dental laser is directed at the affected areas to remove harmful bacteria and infected tissue. The laser’s precision allows us to treat only the damaged areas while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Step 3: Sealing and Stimulating Healing
As the laser works, it naturally seals the gum tissue, which reduces bleeding and inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates your body’s healing response and encourages new, healthy tissue to grow.
Step 4: Comfortable Recovery with Minimal Downtime
Because there are no incisions or stitches, recovery time is much faster than with traditional surgery. Most patients experience little to no discomfort and can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
