What are the benefits of dental cleanings and exams?

Routine cleanings and exams offer many benefits, including:

Removing plaque and tartar buildup
Preventing cavities and gum disease
Detecting dental issues early
Keeping your smile fresh and polished
Supporting long-term oral and overall health

How often should you get a routine cleaning and exam?

Most patients should schedule a dental cleaning and exam every six months. These twice-yearly visits allow us to remove plaque buildup, check for early signs of cavities and gum disease, and keep your smile looking and feeling its best. In some cases, such as patients with periodontal disease, we may recommend more frequent visits. Regular appointments are the best way to prevent small dental issues from turning into bigger, more costly problems.

Do professional teeth cleanings whiten your teeth?

Professional teeth cleanings can make your smile appear slightly brighter by removing surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and other stain-causing foods and drinks. While a cleaning isn’t the same as a whitening treatment, some patients notice a fresher, cleaner, and slightly whiter appearance afterward. If you’re looking for a dramatic color change, we suggest learning more about our professional whitening options, which can be added to your routine visits.

Are teeth cleanings and exams expensive?

Teeth cleanings and exams are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your oral health, and they tend to be among the more affordable dental treatment options as well. Our practice provides an in-house membership plan that includes routine cleanings and exams at a budget-friendly price, making it that much easier to keep up with regular dental care.
