What Are Dental Cleanings?

Professional dental cleanings are thorough treatments performed by our expert registered dental hygienist, Hannah Martin, to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth and below the gum line. Using specialized instruments and techniques, we carefully clean areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach effectively. Whether you need a routine prophylaxis or a deeper scaling and root planing treatment, our team ensures your comfort while delivering exceptional care.
