Teeth Cleaning (Regular) in Irvine, CA
Routine teeth cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile, and at Smyl OC Dentistry in Irvine, CA, we make the experience comfortable, thorough, and personalized. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing can’t reach, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Our skilled hygienists gently clean and polish your teeth while checking for early signs of dental issues. Whether it's your six-month visit or your first cleaning in a while, we’re here to keep your smile fresh and your oral health on track.
How Does the Teeth Cleaning Process Work?
Your cleaning appointment starts with a dental exam to check for any signs of decay or gum concerns. Then, we remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gumline using professional tools. The teeth are polished to remove surface stains and make them smooth, followed by a thorough flossing. If needed, we’ll also provide a fluoride treatment for added protection. The process is gentle, efficient, and tailored to your needs.
Preparing for Your Teeth Cleaning Treatment
Preparing for a teeth cleaning is simple. Brush and floss your teeth as you normally would before the appointment, and let us know if you’ve noticed sensitivity, bleeding gums, or any other concerns. If you're anxious about dental visits, we’ll work to make you feel at ease. Be ready to share your dental history, insurance details, and any medications you’re currently taking.
Routine Dental Exams
Before the cleaning begins, our team will check your gums and teeth for any early signs of issues helping prevent problems before they start.
Deep Plaque & Tartar Removal
Using gentle ultrasonic tools and scalers, we remove harmful buildup in hard-to-reach areas that brushing and flossing can miss.
Personalized Oral Hygiene Tips
After your cleaning, we provide customized recommendations on brushing, flossing, and products to maintain your oral health at home.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning Journey
During your appointment, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable and informed every step of the way. The cleaning usually takes about 45–60 minutes. Our hygienists use a gentle yet thorough approach to keep your teeth healthy while making the experience stress-free.
Following the cleaning, our dentist may discuss any findings from the exam and suggest next steps if needed. You’ll leave with a fresher smile and the confidence that your oral health is in good hands. Routine cleanings are typically recommended every six months.
