Professional Dental CleaningsProfessional Dental Cleanings for a Healthier, Brighter Smile

A healthy smile starts with clean teeth and healthy gums. At Transcend Implant, our professional dental cleanings are designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing and flossing can’t reach. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease, cavities, and long-term oral health issues — all while leaving your mouth fresh and your smile radiant.

Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?

Even with excellent at-home care, bacteria can build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Over time, this buildup turns into tartar, leading to inflammation, decay, and gum disease. Professional cleanings are essential for:

  • Removing hardened tartar and plaque buildup
  • Polishing teeth to remove surface stains and discoloration
  • Preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease
  • Protecting against bad breath (halitosis)
  • Early detection of potential oral health issues

What to Expect During a Cleaning

Our hygienists use advanced tools and a gentle touch to ensure your comfort throughout the cleaning process. Each appointment includes:

  • Scaling: Removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline
  • Polishing: Smooths the surface of your teeth to make it harder for plaque to reattach
  • Flossing: Gets between teeth to clear debris and bacteria
  • Fluoride Treatment (Optional): Strengthens enamel and prevents decay
  • Oral Health Exam: A quick check for signs of gum disease, cavities, or other concerns

How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or other risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

Benefits of Regular Cleanings

Routine cleanings are not just cosmetic — they are a powerful form of preventive care that protects your overall health.

  • Boosts overall oral hygiene and health
  • Reduces risk of tooth loss and gum infections
  • Improves the look and feel of your smile
  • Supports long-term success of dental restorations and implants
  • Can lower risk for systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a dental implant can vary based on your specific needs. Factors like the number of implants, necessary preparatory procedures (such as bone grafting), and the type of restoration used all influence the final price. To get an accurate estimate tailored to your situation, it's best to schedule a consultation with a qualified dental implant specialist.

Dental implants act as artificial roots, surgically inserted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Through a natural process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with the bone over time. After healing, a realistic restoration—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—is securely placed on the implant, restoring both appearance and function.

Caring for dental implants is much like caring for your natural teeth. Consistent oral hygiene practices—like daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits—are essential for keeping implants in top condition. To help extend their lifespan, it's also important to avoid harmful habits such as grinding your teeth or using them to open objects.

Losing a tooth affects more than just your smile—it can make eating difficult and limit your ability to maintain a nutritious diet. Over time, adjacent teeth may shift, causing bite issues and discomfort. Missing teeth can also lead to jawbone deterioration, which may impact facial structure and compromise overall oral health.

Ideal candidates for dental implants are those in good overall health with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant. Individuals who avoid smoking or tobacco use typically experience better healing outcomes. A comprehensive evaluation by a dental implant specialist is essential to determine if implant treatment is the right choice.

Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement, with the implant post itself often lasting a lifetime when properly maintained. The visible restoration, such as a crown, may require replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Factors like daily oral hygiene, lifestyle choices, overall health, and routine dental checkups all influence the longevity of an implant. To maximize results, it's essential to follow good oral care practices and consult with an implant specialist for personalized advice.

Coverage for dental implants varies depending on your individual insurance plan. Some policies may provide partial benefits, while others may exclude implant procedures or impose specific restrictions. In certain situations, insurance may only apply if the treatment is considered medically necessary. To determine your coverage, it's best to review your policy details or contact your insurance provider directly.
