Scheduling regular dental visits to get your teeth cleaned & find cavities or gum disease in the early stages, before it begins to cause discomfort, is an important part of keeping your teeth & gums healthy, as well as maintaining your overall health.

Your hygienist inspects your teeth for any signs of decay, stains, deposits, or fractures. Any deposits you have are scaled away, & minor stains are buffed & polished away, lowering harmful bacteria & leaving your mouth fresh, clean, & shiny.

Your entire hygiene visit will generally last about 60 minutes (90 minutes for your first visit with us). Our hygienists partner with our dentists to create a personalized care plan for each patient. Coming in for a dental hygiene visit is much more than an aesthetic experience. If your eyes are the window to the soul, then consider your mouth as the gate to your body. We recommend hygiene visits twice a year for most patients.
