WHAT IS A DENTAL CLEANING?

Routine cleanings and checkups are essential for optimal oral health. Not only do they prevent problems from occurring by removing plaque and bacteria, they allow the dentist to treat problems in their earliest stages for simple and cost-effective treatments. At Driftwood Dental Studio, our friendly and knowledgeable dental professionals will provide you with the most comprehensive cleanings and checkups along with the guidance needed for exceptional at-home oral healthcare.

OUR DENTAL CLEANING AND CHECKUP PROCEDURE

Thorough Cleaning

A professional teeth cleaning by your dentist is comprehensive and thorough. Specialized tools are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can’t be treated with at-home care. We’ll also floss between teeth and polish them for a lasting, bright smile. Our team provides expert care during your cleaning and checkup to prevent decay and gum disease for healthy teeth to thrive.

Same-Day Restorations

If any problems are found during your visit, we always try to offer restorative treatments on the same day. Most signs of minor tooth decay can be restored with dental fillings during the visit for prompt, effective solutions. In cases where treatment is more involved, we’ll work with you to schedule a follow-up to get the care you need right away.

Extra Preventative Treatment

At the end of a basic dental cleaning, we may suggest extra preventative treatments to fight off tooth decay and strengthen your teeth. We offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants that can be conveniently administered during your visit for cost-effective protection against tooth decay long after your appointment has ended.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Dental cleanings and checkups are the best time to build a relationship with your dentist. It gives us a chance to get to know our patients and provide personalized treatment plans just for them. We enjoy sharing knowledge with our patients to better their overall health, and we’ll work with your budget and health needs to devise a treatment plan that works best for you.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT DENTAL
CLEANINGS & CHECKUPS

A basic dental cleaning typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. This gives our team enough time to provide an examination, clear plaque and tartar from the surfaces of teeth and gum line, and provide fluoride treatments or dental sealants if necessary. If further treatment is needed, we’ll try to perform restorative treatments on the same day which may extend the length of your visit.

 

A typical tooth cleaning is completely painless. Our team performs each task gently and prioritizes patient comfort during each visit. In cases where patients have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, local anesthesia or sedation dentistry techniques may be applied so visitors can relax and remain pain-free during necessary dental care.

 
 

Patients should visit their dentist for a teeth cleaning and checkup twice a year, typically every six months. If a patient has an increased risk of gum disease or tooth decay, their dentist may recommend they come in more frequently to monitor their situation and prevent further problems from occurring.

 

Preventative dental cleanings and checkups are the most cost-effective ways to maintain healthy teeth. They’re affordable visits that are well worth the investment for their lasting benefits. They’re also the most likely treatments to be covered by dental insurance plans. During your visit, we’ll be glad to cover your dental plan to get the most out of your benefits, and you can visit our insurance & finances page for further information on financing your cleaning.
