Why Regular Cleanings Are Essential for Your Health
Professional cleanings remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, preventing cavities, gum disease, and more serious oral health problems. Regular cleanings also allow us to detect issues early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat, ultimately saving you time, money, and discomfort. These sessions keep a check on not only your oral health but your overall well-being too, as oral health is closely linked to systemic health conditions.
Advanced Cleaning Technology for Better Results
As advancements in dentistry increase each day, different types of dental cleaning have been introduced to meet various patient needs. We offer routine prophylaxis cleanings, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) for gum disease, and maintenance cleanings for ongoing periodontal care. We’ll decide on the right type of cleaning after thoroughly checking your dental condition and discussing your individual oral health goals.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings

A routine cleaning typically takes 45-60 minutes, including the examination and any necessary X-rays. The exact time depends on the amount of buildup present and whether additional services like fluoride treatment are needed. We’ll always let you know what to expect before we begin.
