Oral Maintenance

We prioritize your oral health and understand the importance of regular dental cleanings in achieving a beautiful and healthy smile. We will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and function as we look for key signs of a healthy oral cavity. Our skilled dental hygienists are committed to providing you with a thorough and rejuvenating oral cleaning experience that leaves your teeth feeling fresh and your gums revitalized.  

- Our hygienists employ state-of-the-art technology and techniques to thoroughly remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. The appointment is completed by flossing and polishing the teeth, revealing a healthier and whiter smile. This maintenance helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. 

Routine Cleaning (Prophylaxis): This is a standard dental cleaning that is typically performed every six months for individuals with good oral health. It involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, as well as polishing to achieve a smooth and clean surface.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Deep cleaning is performed for individuals with gum disease, specifically in cases of gingivitis or periodontitis. Scaling involves removing tartar and plaque buildup below the gumline and on the tooth surfaces. Root planing smooths the root surfaces to remove bacteria and promote gum tissue healing.

Gross Debridement: This type of cleaning is performed when there is a significant amount of tartar and plaque buildup, making it difficult for the dentist to perform a comprehensive examination. Gross debridement involves the initial removal of heavy deposits of calculus and debris, allowing for a more thorough evaluation of the oral health.

Periodontal Maintenance: After undergoing treatment for gum disease, such as scaling and root planing, patients require ongoing maintenance to manage the condition. Periodontal maintenance involves regular cleanings, usually performed every three to four months, to monitor and control the gum disease.

Air Polishing: This technique uses a device that emits a high-pressure stream of air, water, and fine particles to remove surface stains, plaque, and soft deposits from the teeth. Air polishing is effective for stain removal and achieving a smooth tooth surface.

Our team will determine the appropriate type of dental cleaning based on the individual's oral health assessment.

· Oral Hygiene Education: We believe that patient education is vital in maintaining long-term oral health. Throughout your cleaning appointment, our hygienists will provide valuable tips and techniques for effective oral hygiene at home. They will demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques, recommend beneficial dental products, and address any questions or concerns you may have.

· Periodontal Evaluation: This assessment helps determine the health of your gums, measure pocket depths, and identify any signs of gum disease. Based on the evaluation, will recommend appropriate maintenance options and provide guidance for ongoing periodontal care.

  ·Oral Cancer Screening: As part of our commitment to your overall well-being, we include an oral cancer screening during your cleaning appointment. Our team will examine your oral tissues and perform a head and neck exam for any signs of abnormality or suspicious lesions, ensuring early detection and prompt intervention if necessary.
