Professional Teeth Cleanings in Concord NC

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Gums and teeth benefit from brushing and flossing, but dental plaque and stains build up on tooth surfaces over time, leaving hard deposits that cause decay that brushing, rinsing, and flossing alone can’t remove. At Fresh Dental, our Concord dentists, Drs. Amit Ganglani, Joti Johal, and Richard Dunning create dental plans that include teeth cleanings every six months. Professional dental cleanings are one of the simplest preventive measures that can help you maintain and enjoy a lifetime of good oral health.

What Is Professional Teeth Cleaning?

Having your teeth cleaned regularly helps prevent gingivitis, tooth decay, and loss of enamel from teeth. The type of cleaning you will need depends on the extent of the plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. If buildup is extensive — which can result in inflammation of the gum tissue and some bone loss — a deep cleaning may be required.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

During professional teeth cleaning, our dental hygienist will use traditional instruments as well as an ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. An ultrasonic scaler achieves the desired results more comfortably by using a spray of water to remove the hardened debris, minimizing the scraping effect produced by traditional tools. A deep cleaning takes more time to complete than a traditional cleaning, and can even take up to 1 1/2 hours per side. During this process, the gums may feel sore, and local anesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort that may occur.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How Much Does a Teeth Cleaning Cost?

A: How much a teeth cleaning costs depends on your particular dental situation and the extent of the plaque and tartar that needs to be removed. At Fresh Dental, we offer a variety of financing options so that you can afford and plan for the type of cleaning that best serves your needs.

Q: Does a Professional Cleaning Whiten Teeth?

A: A professional teeth cleaning will remove stains and your teeth will appear whiter; however, if you are looking for a dramatic change, at Fresh Dental, we offer teeth-whitening services that can give you a dramatically whiter smile quickly and affordably.

Q: What At Home Teeth-Cleaning Products Are the Best?

A: Drs. Ganglani, Johal, and Dunning recommend looking for dental products with the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. Pick toothpaste with fluoride in it to fight cavities. Your rinse should also have fluoride and bacteria-fighting properties.

Had my second appointment this month and so far they have been a wonderful staff by showing that they care about not only the needs of patient but also asking if there’s anything in particular we want done. I’m overall satisfied with my visit and happy I’ve found a dentist who cares. Thanks!

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Patel and her staff today at FreshDental in Concord. I was very anxious about the appointment and any procedure, but Kimmie Bryant was very patient with me and spend a lot of time trying to calm me down and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Patel is very professional and has a naturally lovely personality. She takes the time to explain what needs to be done and provides valuable advice. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and her staff. A very pleasant visit indeed! I would definitely be back and would highly recommend the place for Dental work. - Erce Cobile
