Take Care Of Your Teeth And Gums

Maintain your smile’s health and brightness with regular dental cleanings and exams. Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Hygienists clean areas that are difficult to reach, while exams identify potential issues early, saving you from future discomfort and expenses. Achieve a naturally whiter smile without whitening treatments.

Our services focus on plaque and tartar removal, stain reduction, and comprehensive oral health assessments to support a brighter and healthier smile.

What Happens During A Teeth Cleaning?

Gum Health

Healthy gums are vital for a strong, confident smile. During the cleaning, we carefully examine your entire mouth, focusing on the gumline to check for any inflammation or early signs of gum disease. And don’t worry—we won’t lecture you about flossing habits.

Plaque & Tartar Removal

Soft plaque can harden into stubborn tartar over time, particularly in difficult-to-reach areas like the gumline. Our hygienists expertly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar while polishing away stains to reveal a fresh, clean smile.

Dentist Exam

After cleaning, the dentist reviews your x-rays and dental history, carefully inspecting your teeth and gums for any areas of concern. They provide recommendations for treatment, if needed, and helpful advice to maintain your oral health. Any questions or concerns you have will be addressed with care and professionalism.

Cost Of Teeth Cleaning In Calgary

Dental checkups and cleanings are an essential preventive measure, often largely covered by most insurance plans and recommended every 6 months. For individuals without insurance, the cost typically ranges from $120 to $300 or more, especially for new patients or those returning after a long gap.

The cost of your cleaning depends on several key factors, including:

  • The current state of your oral health.
  • Whether new x-rays are needed.
  • The time required to address your specific dental concerns.
  • The tools and materials necessary for your treatment.

These routine visits play a crucial role in avoiding more complex procedures, alleviating severe dental issues, and maintaining your overall health and satisfaction. Your oral well-being remains our top priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

We generally advise scheduling teeth cleanings every six months, but this may vary depending on your unique needs or insurance plan. Maintaining your oral health is our top priority.

Absolutely! Regular checkups include a complete examination of your gums, tongue, bones, and the rest of your oral cavity. Even with dentures, it’s important to ensure their fit and condition are ideal, while also monitoring your overall oral health.

Don’t wait! If you’re experiencing any discomfort or pain, contact us right away. Preventive cleanings aren’t the only time to address concerns. Even minor issues should be evaluated promptly to prevent them from worsening.

A typical dental cleaning takes about 30 minutes to an hour and is performed while you relax in a comfortable dental chair.

Use a fluoride-based tartar-control toothpaste to minimise buildup. Brushing thoroughly is crucial, but only flossing can remove plaque between teeth. Daily use of an antiseptic mouthwash can also help prevent plaque and tartar.

Keeping up with brushing and flossing after a professional cleaning is the best way to maintain the results achieved during your visit.

It’s fine to eat after a routine cleaning, but try to avoid acidic or abrasive foods and drinks. If you’ve had a fluoride treatment, wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything.

I recently moved to Calgary and they accommodated me very quickly and conveniently. The hygienist was so gentle, informative and fast, and my dentist gave me great care and made me feel welcome.

I just went here for the first time and WOW! What a great experience. My hygienist was very attentive and caring. She was the most knowledgeable person I've ever seen for a cleaning! She even gave me tips on how to properly position my tongue and lips to maintain muscles, which I had never heard before. My teeth feel amazing and I feel like I'm in the right hands!
