A cleaning is also an inspection. Most of what we catch early is found during hygiene rather than at the exam, which is why the six month interval exists.
Removing plaque and hardened tartar from above and just below the gum line, which brushing cannot reach once it has set.
Smoothing the surface so plaque takes longer to re-attach. It is the part that makes teeth feel clean, not the part that does the work.
Pocket depths are recorded and compared to last visit. A number moving the wrong way is the earliest warning you get.
Deep scaling is recommended only where pockets justify it. We show you the readings rather than asserting you need it.
Offered where decay risk warrants it, particularly for children and for adults with dry mouth from medication.
Some patients need three or four month intervals. That is a clinical call based on your gum readings, not a sales cadence.
Dental cleanings in Scottsdale and dental cleaning in North Phoenix follow the same standard here. Where gum pockets justify it we recommend deep cleaning teeth, and we show you the pocket readings behind that recommendation rather than asserting it.
Exams, cleanings, fillings and gum disease treatment, the routine care that prevents bigger work.
Whitening, bonding and veneers, planned around your face and bite rather than a catalogue smile.
Crowns, fillings, bridges and extractions to rebuild a tooth that is already damaged.
Replacing the root as well as the crown, so a missing tooth behaves like a natural one again.
Thin porcelain facings for shape, alignment and colour, prepared conservatively.
Full and partial dentures fitted for comfort and function, with adjustments built into the plan.
