What a Professional Dental Cleaning Involves
Brushing and flossing at home matter, but they cannot remove hardened plaque, known as tartar. During a cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline and polishes your teeth so they feel smooth.
Removing buildup helps protect against cavities and gum inflammation. It is the simplest way to keep small issues from turning into larger ones.
Your Checkup: Exam and Detailed Imaging
The cleaning is paired with an exam. Your dentist looks at your teeth, gums and the rest of your mouth, and we use digital imaging when it helps us see what is happening below the surface.
If we find something, we explain it plainly and talk through options before any treatment. Fillings, for example, are covered on our tooth-colored fillings page.
How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?
Most patients are advised to come about every six months. Some people need more frequent visits, such as those who build up tartar quickly or have signs of gum trouble.
| Your situation | What we may suggest |
|---|---|
| Healthy teeth and gums | A cleaning and check-up about every six months |
| Heavy tartar or early gum changes | More frequent visits, as your dentist advises |
| Gum disease below the gumline | A deep cleaning, see our scaling and root planing page |
Learn more about scaling and root planing if your dentist recommends a deeper clean.
Optional Deep Cleanings and Fluoride Treatments
Some mouths need extra support. We can offer a deep cleaning when tartar has built up below the gumline, and fluoride treatments to help strengthen enamel. Your dentist will tell you whether either makes sense for you.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Arrive a few minutes early if it is your first time so we can talk through your health history. Our team works at a calm pace and tells you what is happening. If you feel nervous, let us know, and ask about comfort options.
You leave with a clear idea of how your mouth is doing and what to focus on at home.
Dental Cleaning Cost and Insurance
We follow the ADA Fee Guide with transparent pricing, and you get a detailed estimate before any work begins. We direct bill most insurance plans, file your claims for you and help you make the most of your benefits. We also accept CDCP and the Alberta Child Health Benefit.
New adult patients can receive a free $100 gift card with a new patient exam and cleaning (conditions apply). If you want to spread out costs, ask about 0% financing and flexible payment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental cleaning and checkup take?
The length depends on your mouth and whether you need X-rays. Your team will let you know what to expect when you book, and a first visit usually takes a little longer because of the full exam.
Is a cleaning at the dentist different from brushing at home?
Yes. Brushing removes soft plaque, but tartar is hardened and needs professional tools to remove. A cleaning also gives your dentist a chance to check for decay and gum problems.
Will my insurance cover a teeth cleaning?
Coverage depends on your plan. We direct bill most insurance providers, and we can look at your benefits with you so you know what to expect before your appointment.
Do I need X-rays at every visit?
Not always. We use digital imaging when it is needed to evaluate your teeth and bone, and your dentist decides how often based on your oral health.
How soon can I book a teeth cleaning near me?
