HOW IT'S DONE

Teeth cleaning procedure

You can expect dental cleaning procedures to last between 30 minutes and an hour. Typically, our trained hygienist will do the cleaning, and a dentist may come in for an exam at the end. Our dental cleanings are generally painless, and do not cause any discomfort. Here’s what you can expect during your teeth cleaning appointment.

Oral exam

Our dental hygienist will visually inspect your gums and evaluate the health of your oral tissues. This is to alert your dentist of any areas which may potentially lead to tooth decay.

Scaling

The hygienist will remove the plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces using ultrasonic scalers or metal instruments. The hygienist will then start scaling into the pockets of the gums to remove plaque buildup.
