Cleaning and Prevention

A healthy smile starts with consistent care. We provide thorough cleanings, comprehensive exams, and advanced preventive care to keep your teeth strong, your gums healthy, and your whole body in better health.

Brushing and flossing at home is essential, but professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Poor oral hygiene has been linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia. Regular dental cleanings and teeth cleaning appointments not only keep your smile looking great but also contribute to your overall well-being. By prioritizing routine dental exams and teeth cleaning, you ensure your oral health is monitored and maintained effectively.

What Problems Can Routine Cleanings Prevent?

By maintaining regular dental cleanings and dental exams, you can avoid:

  • Gum disease and bone loss (periodontitis)

  • Tooth decay and cavities

  • Bad breath (halitosis)

  • Oral infections and inflammation

  • The need for costly restorative procedures

  • Tooth loss and shifting teeth

What to Expect at Your Cleaning & Exam

During your visit, our hygienists and dentists will:

  • Review your dental and medical history.

  • Take digital X-rays if needed to check for hidden issues.

  • Perform a comprehensive oral cancer screening.

  • Evaluate your gums and measure periodontal pocket depths.

  • Remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth during the cleaning process.

  • Polish and strengthen teeth with optional fluoride treatments.

  • Provide personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and home care.

Each dental exam and teeth cleaning is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal oral health.

Types of Dental Cleanings

Not all cleanings are the same. Depending on your oral health, we may recommend:

  • Prophylaxis (Regular Cleaning) – Preventive dental cleaning every six months for healthy gums.

  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) – Removes bacteria and buildup below the gum line for patients with gum disease.

  • Periodontal Maintenance – Ongoing teeth cleaning for patients with a history of gum disease to keep their gums healthy.

How to Maintain Your Oral Health Between Visits

  • Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.

  • Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.

  • Use an electric toothbrush or water flosser for improved cleaning process efficiency.

  • Avoid excessive sugar and acidic foods.

  • Stay hydrated and avoid tobacco products.

  • Visit us every six months for a professional dental cleaning and dental exam.

Affordable Preventive Care

Most dental insurance plans cover regular dental cleanings, teeth cleaning, exams, and X-rays. For those without insurance, we offer flexible payment options and in-house savings plans to make preventive care affordable. Investing in regular dental cleanings now can help you avoid costly dental procedures in the future.

I experienced THE BEST customer service from the time I made my appointment through treatment, and even received a follow up call the day after treatment. Personally, I'm not fond of the dentist, but visiting Chandler Dental was such a positive experience for me that I am EXCITED about my dental health and will no longer put it off."

I went in an absolute wreck, fearing the worst, and through each and every person I encountered, I was comforted and cared for. When I acknowledged that finances were the biggest fear, they were willing to work around my budget and made sure that I was treated within my financial means. I’m beyond grateful for this staff. Every single person here has a bedside manner that makes you feel as though they do this for the greater good and not a paycheck. No matter what you’re looking for when it comes to a dentist you’re going to find it here!"

  • "I couldn’t sing the praises of Chandler Dental any higher. I have an almost debilitating anxiety of the dentist but everyone there, from the dentists to office and support staff, are incredibly understanding, personable and make you feel like family. I never thought I would use the words “pleasant” and “dentist” in the same sentiment but the team at Chandler Dental is truly a pleasure working with and it’s clear that they put your dental health and wellbeing at the forefront of their practice."

  • "This team truly takes the extra time needed to do things right, not cut corners, problem-solve, and keep their patients comfortable throughout any process. Most importantly, they’re professionals that can have fun and use humor when needed, care about their patients, and do everything in their power to provide their patients the best possible results. Everyone has been friendly, helpful, compassionate, and made all my appointments stress-free. 15 out of 10 stars, a gold medal, and a bonus first place trophy from me as a patient."

    Abby H.

  • "Went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years, terrified and not sure what to expect. The staff is so friendly and informative! I’ve also had an insecurity about my smile my whole life but could never put a finger on why, they were able to guide me to the right treatment to correct it! Been using Invisalign for 30 weeks now (almost done) and couldn’t be happier with the results so far!"
