Dental cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Beautiful, clean teeth are key to the way we look and feel about ourselves and how others see us. We all try to look after our teeth: we brush, we floss, we use mouthwash regularly, but sometimes that is not enough to remove the toughest plaque deposits and give a polished smile.
We offer a new approach to dentistry which takes away the irritations of traditional practices to make professional care truly accessible.
We are committed to providing you with the highest quality dental care in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Please fill out the form below to book your appointment today.
Dental cleaning is intended to eliminate any tartar buildup, remove stains from tooth surfaces, and polish the teeth.
Deep cleaning addresses problems such as gum disease and periodontitis. This method is more in-depth and is sometimes split into two dental appointments depending on the extent of the cleaning and the patient’s comfort level.
Routine Cleaning: A regular, superficial cleaning that removes tartar (hard mineral buildup) and any stains on the surface of your teeth.
Deep Cleaning: A more intensive type of cleaning which is used for people who are in the early stages of gingivitis, or gum disease. It usually includes dental scaling and root planing.
Scaling is the removal of tartar from tooth surfaces while Planing is the smoothing of root surfaces, as well as the removal of any infected parts of the tooth.
It may involve cleaning gum pockets, the area immediately below the gums and aims to stop and reverse the progression of gum disease
The journey to a healthier smile begins with a dental evaluation, examination and thorough cleaning.
It is a preventative treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums.
Regular cleanings are an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health, halting the progression of gum disease, and staining from your teeth.
