3. Teeth Polishing & Cleaning
We polish your enamel surfaces to smooth away lingering surface stains and leave your teeth feeling fresh and clean.
Why Professional Teeth Cleaning Matters
Even if you brush after every meal and floss daily, plaque can still collect in hidden crevices. Left untreated, oral bacteria gradually erode tooth structure and inflame gum tissue, potentially leading to cavities, discomfort, and tooth loss.
Routine hygiene appointments keep buildup under control, allow us to identify concerns early, and keep treatments simple and affordable. If further care is ever required, you can learn more about our full range of dental treatment options.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What Is Plaque?
Plaque is a sticky, whitish bacterial film that forms on your teeth throughout the day. Bacteria inside plaque feed on sugars to produce acids that weaken enamel and irritate delicate gum tissues, which can eventually trigger gingivitis if left unchecked.
What Is Calculus (Tartar)?
When plaque isn’t completely cleared away by daily brushing and flossing, it mineralizes into calculus (tartar). Once calculus forms, a standard toothbrush cannot remove it — it must be professionally cleaned off by a dentist or dental hygienist.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Regular cleanings are essential for keeping plaque and calculus under control. Many patients benefit from a visit about every six months, but the right schedule depends on your oral health, so your dentist or hygienist will recommend what is best for you.
What happens during a hygiene appointment?
Your dental hygienist will evaluate your oral health, examine your soft tissues for signs of disease, measure the attachment levels of your gums to check for gum disease, remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, and give you personalized recommendations for your home care.
Does insurance cover routine cleanings?
