Dental Cleanings & Exams in Pleasant Grove, UT

Thorough, comfortable cleanings paired with a careful exam, the routine that keeps everything else from being necessary.

Professional cleanings and exams

Even with great brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove. Our hygienists clean gently and thoroughly, then we examine your teeth and gums to catch any early issues. Together, cleanings and exams are the most effective dentistry there is, because they prevent problems.

Most patients do well with a cleaning and exam every six months.

What a cleaning involves

We remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline, polish away surface stains, and finish with a fluoride treatment when appropriate. You'll leave with a fresh, smooth feeling and a clear picture of your gum health.

We also coach you on any spots that need a little more attention at home.

Why exams go hand in hand

After your cleaning, we examine each tooth, check your gums, screen for oral cancer, and review X-rays when needed. Clean teeth make it easier to spot small problems early.

If we find anything, we'll walk you through it in plain language so you can decide what's next.

Common questions

Dental Cleanings & Exams questions, answered.

Are dental cleanings painful?
They shouldn't be. If your gums are sensitive or inflamed, let us know, we'll keep you comfortable and can numb the area if needed.
How long does a cleaning take?
A typical cleaning and exam takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how much buildup there is and whether X-rays are due.
Do I still need cleanings if I brush well?
Yes. Even excellent brushing can't remove hardened tartar, which only a professional cleaning can take off. Regular visits keep your gums healthy.
