Professional Teeth Cleaning: The Key to a Lasting Smile

Even with perfect brushing and flossing habits, plaque can harden into tartar that only a professional can remove. Our teeth cleaning services, also known as prophylaxis, are designed to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, preventing the onset of gingivitis and tooth decay. By removing harmful biofilm and surface stains, we leave your mouth feeling refreshed and your smile looking its absolute brightest.

The Core Benefits of Professional Cleaning

Prevents Gum Disease

Removes hardened tartar above and below the gumline to stop inflammation and bleeding.

Eliminates Bad Breath

Removes the bacteria responsible for persistent odors, giving you long-lasting fresh breath.

Brightens Your Smile

Effectively lifts surface stains from coffee, tea, and food that regular brushing cannot reach.

Protects Your Heart Health

Reducing oral bacteria has been linked to lower risks of heart disease and other systemic health issues.
Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients should have a professional cleaning every six months to keep plaque and tartar under control.
Will the cleaning hurt?
Professional cleaning is generally painless; however, if you have sensitive gums, we can apply a topical numbing gel for your comfort.
How long does a cleaning appointment take?
A standard professional cleaning typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, including a brief exam and polishing.
What is the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning focuses on the visible parts of the tooth, while a "deep cleaning" (Scaling and Root Planing) is required if there is active gum disease.
