How much does a dental cleaning cost?
The cost of your cleaning can vary depending on the type of cleaning, severity of the build-up, and your insurance. The best way to know your cost would be to call us and set up a consultation. If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to check out our patient resources to view available financing options. We also encourage you to call us at any time with any questions.
How often should you get your teeth cleaned?
The journey to a clean and healthy smile is a unique one. A good rule of thumb is that you should visit your dentist for an oral exam and cleaning at least once every six months. Upon arrival, your dentist may recommend more or less visits based on our specific oral care needs.
Can teeth cleaning remove stains?
Yes! When you come in for a routine cleaning, your dentist removes plaque and tartar that has built up on the surface of your teeth. These substances are often discolored and add to the discoloration of your teeth. Routine cleanings also can remove some surface stains that aren’t deep or set in.
