Professional Dental Cleanings in Smyrna, GA
A truly healthy smile starts with a foundation of consistent, professional care. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they can’t combat the stubborn plaque and tartar that build up over time. At Smyrna Dental Studio, we provide more than just a cleaning; we offer a comprehensive preventive experience designed to protect your smile’s health and brilliance. Our expert hygienists use a gentle touch and the latest technology to ensure you leave our studio feeling refreshed, confident, and empowered.
The Cornerstones of a Healthy Smile
Regular professional cleanings are one of the most important investments you can make in your overall health. They are the key to preventing common dental issues before they become serious and costly problems.
Why Professional Cleanings are Essential
Prevent Cavities & Gum Disease: We remove the hardened plaque (tartar) that your toothbrush can't, stopping decay and gum inflammation in its tracks.
Achieve a Brighter Smile: Our polishing techniques gently lift surface stains from coffee, tea, and other foods, revealing a brighter, more vibrant smile.
Eliminate Bad Breath: We thoroughly remove the hidden bacteria and food particles that are the primary cause of persistent bad breath (halitosis).
Protect Your Overall Health: Poor oral hygiene is associated with serious systemic conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. A clean mouth supports a healthy body.
Save Money Long-Term: Preventing dental problems is far less expensive than treating them. Routine cleanings are your first line of defense.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning Appointment
We want you to feel comfortable and informed from the moment you arrive. Your cleaning appointment at our Smyrna studio will include:
A Thorough Oral Examination: Our team will first assess your teeth and gums, checking for any early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other potential concerns.
Gentle Plaque & Tartar Removal: Using advanced ultrasonic scalers and precision tools, our hygienists will gently and effectively remove tartar buildup from above and below the gumline.
Expert Polishing: We use a professional-grade polishing tool to smooth the surfaces of your teeth. This not only removes stains but also makes it more difficult for plaque to adhere in the future.
Detailed Flossing & Rinsing: We’ll conclude with a professional flossing session to clean between your teeth and may also provide a therapeutic rinse to kill bacteria and soothe your gums.
Optional Fluoride Treatment: To provide your teeth with an extra layer of protection against cavities, we may recommend a professional fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel.
Your Personalized Cleaning Plan
Every smile is unique, and so is the care it requires. We provide clear guidance on the type and frequency of cleanings you need to maintain optimal oral health.
How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional cleanings every six months for most patients. However, we may advise more frequent visits if you have:
A history of gum disease (periodontitis)
Excessive plaque and tartar buildup
Braces or other orthodontic appliances
A higher risk of cavities
Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning: What’s the Difference?
Regular Cleaning (prophylaxis) is a preventive measure performed on a healthy mouth to maintain its health. It focuses on cleaning the teeth at and above the gumline.
A Deep Cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a treatment for patients with active gum disease. It involves cleaning deep below the gumline to remove bacteria from the roots of the teeth, allowing the gums to heal and reattach. Our dental team will let you know if a deep cleaning is necessary to restore your gum health.
Understanding the Cost
We are committed to providing affordable, transparently priced dental care. Most PPO dental insurance plans cover 100% of the cost for two regular cleanings per year. For patients without insurance or those needing a deep cleaning, we offer competitive pricing and flexible financing options to ensure you can always get the care you need.
