Routine care
A professional clean.
The quiet maintenance that keeps everything else working. A hygienist removes the build-up that brushing misses, then polishes the teeth back to a clean surface. Easy to pair with a longer trip.

About this treatment
The maintenance that holds the rest together.
A professional cleaning is the most routine thing a clinic does, and the most overlooked. Over the months between visits, plaque hardens into tartar in the places a toothbrush can't reach: along the gumline, between teeth, behind the front lowers. A hygienist removes it, then polishes the surfaces smooth so it takes longer to return.
It isn't cosmetic work, though teeth do look brighter afterwards. The real point is the gums. Keeping the gumline clean is what prevents the slow inflammation that, left alone for years, loosens otherwise healthy teeth. A clean every six to twelve months is the cheapest dentistry there is, and the work that protects everything else you've had done.
Many patients add a cleaning to a longer dental trip, before or after other treatment, so the visit does double duty.
What to expect
One short visit, nothing to recover from.
A standard session takes thirty minutes to an hour. The hygienist scales away the tartar, cleans between the teeth, and finishes with a polish. A deeper clean, for gums that need more attention, can take a little longer and is sometimes split across the visit.
There's nothing to recover from. The gums may feel a little tender for a day if there was a lot to remove, and that passes quickly. You eat and drink normally straight away.
