Teeth Cleaning (Prophylaxis)
The simplest way to protect your smile. A routine professional cleaning removes the buildup your toothbrush cannot reach, helping you avoid cavities, gum disease, and bigger problems down the road.
Your regular reset for a healthier mouth
A prophylaxis, or routine cleaning, is the preventive cleaning most patients have once or twice a year. Even with great brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. Keeping up with regular cleanings is the single easiest thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy for life.
What a professional cleaning involves
A short look at how our hygienists keep your smile fresh and healthy.
Gentle, thorough, and comfortable
Our hygienists carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline, then polish away surface stains for a smooth, fresh finish. We work gently and check in with you throughout, so the visit feels easy from start to end.

Small habit, big payoff
