How Often Should I Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. If you have gum disease, wear orthodontics like Invisalign, or have other needs, we may suggest a custom schedule.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, we’re here to get you back on track — judgment-free.
More Than a Cleaning — It’s Preventive Health
Routine dental visits help us:
- Catch problems early and minimize future treatments
- Prevent gum disease and tooth loss
- Monitor changes in bite, alignment, or wear
- Support overall health and well-being
We don’t just clean teeth — we help protect your long-term health.
