Your visit begins with thoroughly evaluating your teeth and gums, conducting an oral cancer screening, and overall oral health. Our dentist carefully checks for signs of decay, gum inflammation, or other concerns that require attention while explaining our observations to keep you informed throughout the process.
Using state-of-the-art ultrasonic tools and hand instruments, we gently remove accumulated tartar and calculus from both above and below the gum line. This specialized cleaning reaches areas that regular brushing cannot access, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
If we detect signs of periodontal disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing (SRP) to address deeper pockets of bacteria and infection beneath the gums. This thorough process helps heal existing infections and prevents further progression of gum disease and the impact the disease has on your body.
We complete your cleaning with professional tooth polishing to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean. A fluoride treatment may be applied when appropriate to strengthen your enamel against future decay.
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, if you have periodontal disease or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits to maintain your oral health.
We prioritize your comfort and use gentle techniques throughout the cleaning process. Most patients find our modern cleaning methods to be surprisingly comfortable and stress-free.
Regular cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar above the gum line, while deep cleaning addresses problems and infection below the gums to treat periodontal disease. We'll recommend the most appropriate type of cleaning based on your specific oral health condition.
