Our team of skilled dental hygienists and dentists provides gentle, thorough cleanings to give you a sparkling smile and a healthier you.

Who Should Get Dental Cleaning?

Everyone benefits from routine dental cleaning. We recommend: 

  • Adults and children: Schedule cleanings at least twice a year to maintain optimal oral health.
  • Patients with braces: Ensure clean teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment.
  • Individuals with gum disease: More frequent cleanings may be necessary to manage periodontal health.

What is Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, is a professional procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Unlike routine brushing and flossing, professional cleanings target areas that are difficult to reach and help prevent conditions like gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

Why Is Regular Dental Cleaning Important?

  • Prevents Gum Disease: Removing built-up plaque and tartar reduces the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Brightens Your Smile: Professional polishing helps remove stains, giving you a whiter smile.
  • Freshens Breath: Eliminate odor-causing bacteria for lasting freshness.
  • Protects Overall Health: Poor oral hygiene has been linked to systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes.
