Dental Cleanings
A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing.
Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"I had such a great experience at this dental office in the West Village! The space is clean, welcoming, and the staff is genuinely kind and professional. I got a whitening treatment and I’m OBSESSED with the results — my smile is noticeably brighter and looks amazing! ✨ The dentist and hygienist took their time, explained everything, and made me feel so comfortable. If you’re thinking about booking, this is your sign. Run, don’t walk! 🦷💎"
