Professional Teeth Cleaning in Brantford
A professional cleaning is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile for years to come. At Lifetime Dental, our experienced hygienists take the time to make every cleaning thorough, comfortable and genuinely relaxing, not rushed.
What Happens During Your Cleaning
Before we begin, your hygienist will walk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect. From there, you can simply relax while we take care of the rest.
Checking Your Teeth
Your hygienist will explore the surface of your teeth to check for cavities and review the condition of any existing fillings.
Periodontal Exam
We will check that your gums are healthy and properly adhere to your teeth, an important part of catching gum disease early.
Removing Plaque and Tartar
Using gentle, precise tools, your hygienist will remove hardened plaque, known as tartar, from your teeth, including hard to reach areas that brushing alone can miss.
Polishing and Final Review
Once cleaning is complete, your teeth are polished for a smooth, fresh finish. Dr. Kim will then review your results and discuss any additional care or treatment recommendations with you directly.
Why Regular Cleanings Matter
Prevent tooth decay and gum disease before they start Catch small issues early, before they become costly problems Keep your smile brighter by reducing surface staining Support your overall health, since oral health is closely connected to your general wellbeing
Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months, though Dr. Kim may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.
What About Cost and Insurance?
Routine cleanings are often covered in part or in full by dental insurance on a biannual basis. For patients without insurance, cleaning costs can vary depending on your current oral health and how long it has been since your last visit. Our team is happy to walk you through your specific coverage and any out of pocket costs before your appointment, so there are no surprises.
