What Is A Professional Dental Cleaning?

At Tampa Implant and General Dentistry Center, a full dental cleaning involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains that have accumulated on your teeth. Even with diligent at-home oral care, tartar can develop, making professional cleanings crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

What Is Our Professional Teeth Cleaning Process?

Our state-of-the-art Tampa dental cleaning process includes:

  1. Ultrasonic Cleaning: We use an advanced ultrasonic instrument that employs mild vibrations and a cool water spray to loosen and wash away larger tartar deposits.
  2. Manual Scaling: Our skilled hygienists use specialized hand instruments (curettes and scalers) to remove smaller deposits and smooth tooth surfaces.
  3. Polishing: Using a slow-speed handpiece with a soft rubber cup, we apply a gritty prophylaxis paste to create a smooth, shiny surface on your teeth.
  4. Fluoride Treatment: When appropriate, we offer fluoride treatments in various flavors to strengthen your teeth and protect against plaque and tartar.

Throughout the process, we use a dental mirror to inspect hard-to-see areas, ensuring we don’t miss any signs of irritation, swelling, decay, or bleeding.

How Long Does A Teeth Cleaning Take? Does it Hurt?

Most of our patients find the cleaning process painless and comfortable. The entire procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. You’ll be reclined in a comfortable dental chair, and our team will ensure you’re at ease throughout the visit.
