Teeth Cleaning
Regular brushing and flossing may not be enough to prevent the build-up of yellow plaque and debris in those hard-to-reach spaces in your mouth. That’s why it’s important to keep up with regular dental cleanings and incorporate our new laser treatment every six months to maintain your oral health. Our skilled hygienists use the laser technology to remove harmful bacteria, including yellow plaque, and prevent it from coming back.

In this video, hygienist Lara from our Pinnacle Park office in DFW explains why dental hygiene is important.
While daily teeth cleaning at home is essential to fighting tooth decay and gum disease, it’s not enough to keep your mouth healthy. Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, smooth the surfaces of your teeth, and polish the teeth to eliminate minor stains.
Even if you brush and floss daily, you can still have buildup that leads to plaque which hardens into dental calculus, commonly known as tartar. That buildup impacts more than your teeth; it can lead to inflammation and even infection in your gums. Gum disease has been linked to multiple other health issues, including diabetes and heart disease!
When you get dental cleanings every six months, your dental team can identify potential oral health issues before they become problematic. They can detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, like cancer.
Dental hygienists scrape calculus off your teeth with a small tool. Once the teeth are free of all calculus, the hygienist polishes your teeth with a special brush and paste to remove any stains and smooth the tooth’s surface.
What Do Dentists Use to Polish Teeth?
Your hygienists use a mildly abrasive toothpaste to remove minor stains and smooth the surface of your teeth to make it harder for plaque to stick.
Your dental team may suggest a deep cleaning, which is different from a regular cleaning. A deep cleaning removes buildups along and under your gum line. It usually involves anesthesia and several follow-ups to make sure your team removed all of the build-up and that your gums heal properly.
Why is Deep Cleaning Teeth Necessary?
Deep Cleaning is a dental treatment for people with periodontitis, or gum disease. When the buildup of plaque and tartar goes too far, it can cause your gums to recede and lead to bone loss. If it’s left untreated, you could lose your teeth.
Dentist teeth cleaning costs may surprise you. Do a little research before you put off that routine cleaning because you’re worried about the dental cleaning cost. Putting off routine cleanings could cost you a lot more in the long run, including your teeth!
The average dental cleaning price for adults is between $115 and $150, but that cost can dramatically drop with dental insurance, government insurance, or dental savings plans.
How Much Does a Dental Deep Clean Cost?
Though deep cleaning teeth prices are higher than regular cleanings, it’s an investment in your oral health and an attempt to save your teeth. The average deep cleaning costs range from $200 up to more than $1000. Again, with insurance or dental savings plans, you could see marked savings on your deep cleaning dental costs.
How Much Does it Cost to Get Your Teeth Cleaned Without Insurance?
Dental cleaning costs without insurance can vary greatly. However, you can still access professional dental cleanings with insurance with flexible payment plans and dental savings plans.
