Dental Hygiene Visits

Professional Dental Cleanings

Perhaps the most crucial piece of your dental hygiene routine is staying on top of your professional cleanings. Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to reach at home. During your dental hygiene appointment, our skilled hygienists perform a thorough professional dental cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

We are proud to offer air polishing, a modern cleaning method that uses a gentle stream of air, water, and fine powder to safely and effectively remove surface stains and biofilm. Air polishing is more comfortable than traditional polishing and leaves your teeth feeling exceptionally clean and smooth.

Gum Disease Treatment with Laser Dentistry

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. During your hygiene appointment, we assess your gum health and look for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease. If needed, we offer scaling and root planing (deep cleanings) and advanced laser gum therapy.

Our hygienists are laser-certified, and we use state-of-the-art dental lasers to treat gum disease with precision and minimal discomfort. Laser therapy promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and helps restore gum health more effectively than traditional methods alone.

Sleep Assessments

During your visit, we also keep an eye out for potential signs of sleep-disordered breathing, such as snoring, dry mouth, or tooth wear from grinding. If you or your child exhibits any of these signs, we may recommend a sleep assessment to further evaluate airway health. Addressing sleep issues early can improve overall wellness, behavior in children, and quality of life for adults.
