How often should you get a cleaning?
-
Most patients benefit from a cleaning every 6 months, though your needs may vary based on your oral health.
Are dental cleanings painful?
-
Most cleanings are quick and comfortable. You may feel light pressure or sensitivity in certain areas, but our team is gentle and will adjust based on your comfort.
How long does a cleaning appointment take?
-
Most appointments take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your needs.
Do I still need a cleaning if I brush and floss regularly?
-
Yes. Even with great at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings help prevent issues before they start.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
-
A routine cleaning is preventative and keeps your teeth healthy. A deep cleaning is recommended when there are signs of gum disease and requires more extensive treatment.
Will my teeth look whiter after a cleaning?
-
Yes—cleanings remove surface stains and buildup, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter. For more dramatic whitening, we offer professional whitening treatments.
Do I need X-rays at every visit?
-
Not always. X-rays are taken as needed to monitor your oral health and catch issues that aren’t visible during an exam.
What if it’s been a while since my last cleaning?
-
That’s okay—there’s no judgment. We’ll meet you where you are and help you get back on track comfortably.
Will my insurance cover my cleaning?
-
Many dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings. Our team will help verify your benefits and handle the details for you. Learn more about how we handle insurance here.
