The Benefits of Dental Cleanings
Skipping just one cleaning can leave behind hardened tartar that only a dentist or dental hygienist can remove!
Prevents cavities and gum disease:
Regular cleanings remove harmful plaque and tartar, which are the main culprits behind cavities and gum inflammation. Healthier gums and cavity-free teeth mean fewer costly dental issues in the long run!
Freshens breath and enhances your smile
A professional cleaning gives your teeth a polished, stain-free look while banishing lingering bacteria that cause bad breath. Your smile will look and feel fantastic!
Supports long-term health
Dental health is closely linked to overall wellness. Cleanings help reduce your risk of serious conditions, like heart disease and diabetes, by keeping harmful bacteria in check and promoting healthier daily habits.
What to Expect From Dental Cleanings
A Comprehensive Exam
Most periodic cleanings include a careful examination of your mouth by Dr. Lee and oral hygiene assessment by your hygienist. We assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to catch any early signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. This step sets the foundation for personalized care recommendations tailored to your needs.
Gentle Cleaning and Polishing
Our amazing hygiene team will remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth using advanced tools. We take special care to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible, whether this is your first cleaning in a while or part of your routine care. Your teeth will be polished to leave them shining, and your mouth feeling refreshed.
Personalized Guidance for Ongoing Care
After your cleaning, we’ll take time to walk you through what we found during your exam and cleaning. If additional treatment is needed, Dr. Lee will explain your options and answer your questions. You’ll also leave with tips to maintain your healthier smile at home and a clear plan for your next routine dental checkup.

Consultation
After scheduling an appointment with Dr. Lee, he’ll examine your teeth to check the extent of the misalignment. Please note, clear aligners are only suitable for mild and moderate malocclusion. If you qualify, our Arcadia dentist will create a treatment plan detailing the steps, equipment, and medication necessary for the procedure.
Tooth
Next, Dr. Lee will utilize 3D scanning technology to create a 3D model of your teeth. He’ll then show you the 3D render of your teeth on a screen and show how the aligners will straighten them. Afterward, he’ll send the renders to a lab to manufacture your custom clear aligners.
Temporary
After a few weeks, the aligners will arrive from the lab, and you can receive them. But before you can take them home, Dr. Lee will instruct you on how and when to wear them and give you tips for cleaning them. All that’s left is to wear the aligners as per the instructions, and your teeth should straighten within a few months.
FAQs About Dental Cleanings
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
Most patients benefit from cleanings every 6 months, but Dr. Lee can recommend the best timeline for your needs. You may need more frequent cleanings if you are cavity-prone, struggle with gum/periodontal disease, or have other oral health issues. Some patients benefit from periodic cleanings every 3-4 months.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning focuses on maintaining general oral health and is recommended twice a year for all patients. A deep cleaning is only needed if you have been diagnosed with gum/periodontal disease; it is meant to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from deep below your gumline. Regular cleanings are completed in one visit, whereas a deep cleaning is often split into quadrants and may take multiple appointments to complete.
Does dental insurance cover routine cleanings and exams?
Almost all dental insurance plans cover the cost of two yearly cleanings and oral exams. If you have any questions about your policy, contact our team. We can help you navigate your coverage details.
