Three Steps to a Cleaner Smile

Tartar Removal

We remove plaque and hardened tartar above and below the gumline — buildup that brushing at home can't touch.

Polish & Shine

After scaling, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them smooth and clean.

Gum Health Check

We floss, check your gum pockets and give you personalized tips so you can keep up the results at home.

Deep Cleanings for Gum Health

If you have signs of gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing, a deeper cleaning that treats infection below the gumline and helps gums heal.
