There’s nothing like walking out of a dental office after having your teeth professionally cleaned. That smooth, fresh, and clean feeling is something you can never achieve at home. Couple that feeling with a dentist who provides a cozy, friendly, and fun atmosphere, and you’ve got the makings of a great day!

Many of our clients love visiting Grand Dental Arts, where Dr. Colleen Williamson and her team deliver super-fast, comfortable, comprehensive, and professional teeth cleaning services.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning

Aside from having a brilliantly clean, fresh smile, you also receive other benefits from professional teeth cleaning, such as:

• Reduced risk of serious oral infections 
• Prevention of Gum Disease 
• Prevention of Tooth Decay
• Reduce or eliminate bad breath
• Reduce risks of tooth loss
• Improved general health

After visiting Grand Dental Arts, you’ll experience much more than your run-of-the-mill brushing and flossing. Our team will also take dental x-rays of your smile if you have any other underlying issues that can cause trouble down the road. By catching these problems early, you’ll save time, money, and grief. 

The Professional Teeth Cleaning Process

Cleaning uses a scaler to remove tartar and plaque from your teeth. You may hear scraping sounds during the process, but don’t be alarmed. After the scaling, our dental hygienist will polish your teeth professionally using specially formulated pumice or paste to remove thin layers of bacteria called biofilm.

They may also offer you the option of having a special sealant applied to your teeth, which helps prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar.

Deep Cleaning

If we discover bacteria beneath your gum line or hardened tartar (calculus) building on the surface of your teeth, we may need to perform a deeper cleaning known as root planing and scaling. 

This more invasive treatment is used to treat the earliest stages of gum disease. But don’t worry. If you’re sensitive to such procedures, Dr. Williamson can numb your gums using local anesthesia to make you more comfortable. 

Things You Can Do to Prepare for Your Cleaning

Before a professional teeth cleaning appointment, you should brush and floss thoroughly. You may also want to write down a few questions about your symptoms or other treatments you’d like to explore to improve your smile. Teeth-cleaning sessions are great opportunities to learn more about all the possibilities for your smile.

Dental Insurance Coverage for Teeth Cleaning

One of the great things about dental insurance is that most plans cover routine cleanings and checkups. However, you must check with your provider regarding co-pays and other terms and conditions. 

However, most policies want clients to have access to professional teeth cleanings at least once or twice a year. These cleanings save companies money and can prevent more costly issues. Talk to your provider to learn more about your preventative coverage.
