What are the benefits of
routine dental cleanings?
Dental implants offer many benefits to patients who choose to utilize them, including:
Routine dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot eliminate. Professional cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath while supporting overall oral health. They also allow us to detect potential concerns early, often before symptoms appear. Regular cleanings are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your smile long-term.
How often should I get a
dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, some individuals with gum disease or a higher risk of cavities may need more frequent visits. During your exam, we can evaluate your oral health and recommend a schedule that best supports your needs. Consistent cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Dental cleanings are generally comfortable and well-tolerated. You may feel mild pressure during plaque removal, especially if there is significant buildup, but most patients do not experience pain. If you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, let us know—we can adjust our approach to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible.

routine cleanings?
