Teeth Cleaning
Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and keep gums healthy between visits.
A professional dental cleaning, also called prophylaxis, removes plaque and tartar above the gum line to keep teeth and gums healthy.
Our hygiene team uses specialized instruments to scale away buildup, polishes the surfaces of your teeth, and reviews home care recommendations with you.
Regular cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. They also help us catch small concerns early, before they become bigger problems.
