Dental Cleanings

Routine care for a healthier, brighter smile.

Even with great brushing and flossing at home, there are areas of your mouth that are hard to reach. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. Without regular cleanings, this buildup can lead to:

• Cavities and tooth decay
• Gingivitis or gum disease
• Persistent bad breath
• Tooth discoloration

Professional cleanings not only remove harmful buildup but also keep your smile fresh, healthy, and confident.

At Dr. Prieto’s practice, we make cleanings simple, gentle, and effective. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:



• Oral Exam – A quick check for early signs of decay, gum issues, or other concerns.
• Plaque & Tartar Removal – Your hygienist uses specialized tools to gently remove buildup around the gumline and between teeth.
• Deep Cleaning & Polishing – Teeth are cleaned with a high-powered brush and polished to remove stains and leave a smooth finish.
• Flossing & Rinse – Professional flossing and a refreshing rinse ensure no debris is left behind.
