Professional Cleanings at Two Convenient NYC Locations
Dental Cleaning
Regular professional cleanings are the single most important thing you can do for your long-term oral health. Our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that home brushing and flossing simply can't reach — while checking for early signs of decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.
What's Included
- Prophylaxis (Routine Cleaning) — Removal of plaque and calculus above the gumline for healthy patients.
- Full Periodontal Examination — Pocket depth measurements and gum health assessment at every visit.
- Digital X-Rays — Low-radiation imaging taken annually or as needed for early cavity detection.
- Oral Cancer Screening — Visual and tactile exam of soft tissues at every cleaning appointment.
- Fluoride Treatment — Applied topically after cleaning to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
- Personalized Home Care Plan — Customized brushing, flossing, and product recommendations.
- Periodontal Maintenance Cleanings — More frequent visits (every 3–4 months) for patients with gum disease history.
Common Questions
How often should I get a professional cleaning?
Twice a year (every 6 months) for most healthy adults. Patients with gum disease or a higher cavity risk may need to come more frequently.
Does a cleaning hurt?
For most patients, cleanings are comfortable. Patients with sensitivity or inflamed gums may feel some pressure. Let your hygienist know and we can adjust our approach.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes buildup above the gumline in healthy patients. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gumline to treat gum disease.
