Dental hygiene
A professional cleaning does more than brighten your smile — it helps protect the foundation of your oral health. Even with consistent home care, plaque and tartar build up in places your toothbrush can’t fully reach. A hygiene visit removes that buildup, supports healthier gums, and gives us a clear view of anything that may need attention.
These routine visits also help us catch early signs of change, when treatment is simpler and more predictable. Most of all, cleanings help your mouth stay comfortable and healthy over the long term.
Why cleanings matter
Over time, plaque and tartar can lead to gum irritation, bad breath, tooth decay, and deeper infections if left untreated. Cleanings interrupt that cycle. Removing buildup gives your gums a chance to heal and makes it easier to maintain your oral health at home.
These visits are especially helpful if you’ve noticed bleeding when brushing, new sensitivity, or anything that feels different from your normal routine.
What happens during a cleaning
Your appointment begins with a review of your teeth and gums. We gently remove plaque and tartar, smooth the tooth surfaces, and finish with a polish for a fresh, clean result. Throughout, we point out anything we notice and offer simple, practical tips for home care.
You leave feeling refreshed — and with a clear understanding of where things stand.
We offer direct billing, clear cost explanations, and support with insurance so you always know what to expect. When treatment is recommended, we review each option and help you choose what fits comfortably.
