Professional teeth cleaning is essential for maintaining good oral health. Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas.
Why Professional Cleanings Matter
Home brushing and flossing remove most plaque, but professional cleanings are necessary to:
- Remove Tartar - Hardened plaque that can’t be removed at home
- Reach Hidden Areas - Clean between teeth and below the gumline

Teeth Cleaning & Prevention — Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth cleaning painful?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during professional cleanings. If you have sensitive teeth or gum issues, let us know and we can take extra care to ensure your comfort.
How long does a cleaning take?
A typical cleaning appointment takes 45-60 minutes, including examination and discussion of your oral health goals.
What's the difference between regular and deep cleaning?
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar above the gumline. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) are needed when tartar has built up below the gumline and may include local anesthesia.
