Why you are here
A professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that brushing at home can't reach. We start with a full evaluation, clean thoroughly, and go deeper (scaling and root planing) when we find periodontal pockets.
You leave with a written plan to keep your natural teeth healthy for the long run.
- Gums that bleed when brushing, or persistent bad breath
- More than a year since your last professional cleaning
- Previous diagnosis of gingivitis or early periodontitis
- Preparing for orthodontics, crowns, or implants
We explain every step before we start: what we will do, how long it takes, and what you will feel.

Let's talkFrequently asked questions
Every 6 months for most people. If you've had periodontitis, every 3 to 4 months to keep the result stable.
With local anesthesia, deep cleaning is usually well tolerated. Mild soreness or cold sensitivity may last a few days, depending on how much treatment you need.
Bleeding almost always means inflamed gums from built-up plaque (gingivitis). It's reversible with a professional cleaning and better brushing. Left alone, it can progress to periodontitis and bone loss.
No. Cleaning removes tartar and stains, not enamel. Any temporary sensitivity comes from the tooth surface being clean again.
