Excellent service and patient care. Staff is friendly and professional. The only negative (and this is very rare for this practice) I feel today’s appointment took longer than it should. Only needed to put a crown on an implant. I was in the chair for an hour and a half.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is involved in a professional dental cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning typically includes the removal of plaque and tartar, polishing of teeth, and may include fluoride treatment, along with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to check for any signs of oral health issues.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most dentists recommend that patients get a dental cleaning every six months, but some individuals with specific dental issues may require more frequent cleanings.

Will a dental cleaning whiten my teeth?

While a dental cleaning can remove surface stains and make your teeth appear brighter, it is not the same as a professional teeth whitening treatment which is specifically designed to lighten the color of your teeth.

Is a dental cleaning painful?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during a dental cleaning; however, if you have sensitive teeth or gums, be sure to inform your dental hygienist so they can take extra care to ensure your comfort.

What are the signs of gum disease I should look out for?

Yes, you can eat after a dental cleaning, but it’s advisable to wait until the numbness from any anesthetic wears off to avoid biting your cheek or tongue, and you may want to avoid particularly sticky or hard foods for a few hours after certain treatments like fluoride application.
