Maintain Optimal Oral Health by Taking Care of Your Teeth and Gums

Prioritizing routine teeth cleanings and checkups is essential for maintaining overall oral health. This practice involves removing plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria that lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and persistent bad breath. While daily brushing and flossing at home are important, a professional hygienist can reach areas that are difficult to clean thoroughly.

Comprehensive cleanings and examinations allow your hygienist and dentist to monitor your oral health closely, identifying and addressing issues before they escalate into painful and costly problems. Regular teeth cleanings also help keep your teeth naturally whiter and brighter without the need for bleaching treatments. Embracing these routine checkups ensures not only a healthy smile but also contributes to your overall well-being.

    Regular dental cleanings offer several important benefits:

  • Eliminating Plaque: Removes the sticky substance containing bacteria that can harm your enamel.
  • Removing Tartar: Gets rid of tartar build-up, which can lead to gum disease if left untreated.
  • Whitening Teeth: Eliminates stains from coffee, tea, or other sources, restoring the natural whiteness of your teeth.
  • Detecting Issues Early: Allows for the early detection of receding gums, chipped or broken teeth, and other signs of disease or infection.

Teeth Cleaning: What to Expect

Gum Health

Your gums are essential for supporting your teeth and shaping your smile. During our examination, we carefully assess your entire oral cavity, including your tongue, gums, and teeth, with a focus on the gum line. Our goal is to ensure your mouth remains healthy, free from inflammation, and without signs of gum disease. And don’t worry, we’ll be gentle about your flossing habits!

Plaque & Tartar Removal

Plaque is a soft, sticky film that naturally builds up on your teeth. If not removed through regular brushing, flossing, and professional care, it can harden into tartar. Tartar, which is often darker in color, tends to form in hard-to-reach areas like the gumline. Our skilled hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove both plaque and tartar from these difficult spots. After the cleaning, we’ll polish your teeth to eliminate stains and leave them with a bright, sparkling shine.

Dentist Exam

Following your teeth cleaning, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination. They will review your dental chart and X-rays to identify any issues or areas of concern. Based on this assessment, they might recommend further treatments or provide advice on preventing tooth decay, inflammation, or gum disease. We’re here to answer your questions and address any discomfort or sensitivity you might have experienced. Our priority is your dental health, and we’re committed to ensuring you receive top-notch care.

Cost of Teeth Cleaning

Preventive dental care, such as regular checkups and cleanings, is crucial for maintaining oral health. Without insurance, the cost for these visits typically ranges from $120 to $300 or more, especially if it’s your first appointment in a while. Fortunately, many insurance plans cover these routine procedures almost entirely, generally every six months. Investing in regular cleanings is a wise decision, as it can help you avoid more extensive and expensive treatments down the line.

    To calculate the precise cost of your treatment, we consider several crucial factors, including:

  1. The state of your current oral health.
  2. Whether new X-rays are needed.
  3. The time required by the dental team to meet your specific needs.
  4. The equipment and materials necessary for your treatment.

We prioritize routine dental appointments because they are the best way to prevent invasive treatments, avoid dental discomfort, and ensure your overall happiness and health. These visits allow us to provide proactive care, reducing the risk of dental issues and promoting your well-being. Your satisfaction and oral health are our top priorities, and regular checkups are essential to achieving both.

This is the most professional dental clinic I’ve ever been to, and they do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that patients can easily understand. At most dental offices, the explanations are often too brief—you’re told where the problem is and that it needs to be treated, but you’re left unsure about what’s really going on with your teeth. However, at this clinic, the doctor takes the time to thoroughly explain everything from why the issue is happening to how they plan to treat it, making it so much easier to trust the process. I was treated by Dr. Christabelle, and not only was she incredibly kind, but you can also tell just how skilled she is the moment you receive treatment. My husband also had his wisdom tooth removed here, and he was extremely satisfied—he even said he’s glad we found such a great dental clinic! 😆 The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. Plus, their equipment is top-notch and up-to-date, which adds to the trustworthiness of their care. Highly recommend this place! 😊👏

This is the best dental service I have ever received in Canada. Dr. Ken is very professional, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I did my fillings and Invisalign treatment with him, and I was extremely satisfied with both the process and the results. The clinic’s facility is new, spacious, and clean, equipped with the latest updated technology. The front desk staff are very helpful and always do their best to schedule appointments that fit my schedule. Even though I moved to the East, Dr. Ken and his team are always willing to assist me with any concerns I have. Their dedication and exceptional service make every visit a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professional and caring dental care!
