11 / 13 — Prevention & diagnostics
The simplest appointment is the one that saves you the most trouble.
A toothbrush can't reach everything. Hardened tartar only comes off with professional instruments, and removing it in time prevents cavities, bleeding gums and bad breath. It's also when we check your whole mouth to catch any problem while it's still small.

Signs
If one or more apply to you, an evaluation is worth it.
The process
We examine gums and teeth to know what kind of cleaning you need.
We remove plaque and tartar above the gumline with ultrasonic and hand instruments.
We polish the surface to lift stains and leave it smooth, so plaque sticks less.
We show you where buildup is worst and how to improve your technique at home.
The outcome
Less bleeding and inflammation.
Surface stains from coffee or tea come off.
We catch cavities and issues early.
Common questions
No. It removes tartar and plaque, not enamel. The “gaps” you feel afterwards were filled with tartar.
Usually there's only mild discomfort if your gums are inflamed — and that inflammation improves with the cleaning itself.
For most people, every six months. With braces or heavy tartar buildup, it may be more often.
