What Is Teeth Cleaning?
While your regular at-home oral health habits are crucial to preventing tooth decay, there is still a buildup of plaque, which is why most dental authorities recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. Plaque is a sticky, soft film that gathers on your enamel in cracks and crevices, and it contains millions of bacteria, which cause gum disease and tooth decay.
Professional teeth cleaning by the experts at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics will remove plaque, tartar, and stains that have accumulated on your teeth. Quality professional cleaning of your teeth is a crucial part of your good oral hygiene and is needed periodically to maintain the overall health of your teeth and gums.
What are the Benefits of Teeth Cleaning?
In between routine cleanings, good oral hygiene at home is a vital component of your oral health habits designed to prevent tartar build-up and gum disease. However, even with routine brushing and flossing of your teeth and gums, tartar can and will still develop. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we use highly specialized instruments to gently remove these deposits without causing harm to the teeth.
How Do I Know If Teeth Cleaning Is Right for Me?
Dental cleanings are designed to remove plaque buildup and tartar deposits that have accumulated on your teeth over time. Professional dental cleaning reinforces the homecare oral health regimen of brushing and flossing and gives the dentist an opportunity to locate areas in the mouth that may need special attention. Schedule your consultation now and find out why teeth cleaning at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics is right for you.
What is the Procedure for Teeth Cleaning?
Most of our dental cleanings last between 30 minutes to an hour on average, and they are performed in a resting position in our ultra-comfortable dental chairs. The first tool that is generally used to clean your teeth is an ultrasonic instrument. Once larger pieces of tartar are dislodged, then we will switch to finer hand-held instruments. Often referred to as curettes or scalers, these tools are designed to eliminate smaller deposits on the teeth and smooth the tooth surfaces. Once the surfaces of the teeth are smooth, we will polish your teeth using a slow-speed handpiece containing a soft rubber cup, which spins at the tip to smooth the teeth.
How Much Does Teeth Cleaning Cost?
Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics achieves all goals, including meeting financial goals and budget. We care, and our patient advocates will work with you to customize a treatment plan for teeth cleaning that fits your budget, needs, and expectations.

Orthodontics
When your teeth are crooked or misaligned, or you need to correct your bite, your dentist will direct you towards a special division of dentistry called “orthodontics.” Orthodontists work with you to keep your teeth and mouth in good physical shape and alignment.
Invisalign
Instead of metal braces, many patients prefer Invisalign® – a cosmetic dental procedure that straightens and aligns your teeth using clear and removable trays. These trays are comfortable and changed approximately every other week to gradually shift the position of your teeth over time.
Braces
When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.
Retainers
A retainer is custom-made, composed of plastic and metal, and fits inside your teeth to help maintain the correct positioning of your teeth.
Zygomatic Dental Implants
Zygomatic implants are a more advanced form of dental implants specifically used with the upper jaw when the jaw is resorbed or eroded following tooth removal. These implants provide the support for upper implant bridgework where other implants do not work.
Periodontics
One of the things that distinguishes and differentiates Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics from other dental care providers is that we have all the experts you need for perfect oral health under one roof, including periodontics.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening helps to expose more of your natural tooth so your mouth can be better prepared for a necessary cosmetic or restorative procedure or to address and improve the health of your natural gum line.
Gum Disease
Our gums are a key to our wellbeing because they keep our teeth strongly rooted and empower our ability to function and preserve our facial structure for optimal personal appearance.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth, both at home and at your dentist’s office, to keep them healthy. Preventive dentistry will help you to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry combines the art of aesthetics, the knowledge of dental structures, and the science behind technological innovations in order to make your teeth look and feel their best.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is placed to correct teeth that sit on either side of a gap. A dental bridge can restore your smile, while also maintaining your face shape. Perhaps most importantly, a well-placed bridge will prevent your other teeth from falling out of alignment.
Dental Crowns
Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.
Dentures
Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.
Porcelain Inlays
Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.
Porcelain Onlays
Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.
Teeth Cleaning
At Comfort Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
Composite Fillings
When decay occurs in a tooth, it’s important to take steps right away to address the issue. A filling is used to treat a decaying tooth and halt the spread of further tooth decay. Composite fillings are made of a natural resin composite material, as opposed to metal fillings.
Extractions
While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Our professional, in-office whitening treatment will help you get rid of all those unappealing stains on the tooth’s surface, in addition to removing stains from deep within your tooth’s enamel.
Veneers
When it comes to efficient solutions for helping you achieve that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, one of the most popular, effective, and fastest methods is porcelain veneers.
Dental Implants
When teeth are lost, dentists typically replace them with full or partial dentures. Dental implants are permanent posts that act as “roots” for the replacement teeth.
Same-Day Implants
The dentists at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics use the All-on-4® procedure to fit patients with a fixed prosthesis that is supported by four implants.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are smaller dental implants that work in the same manner as traditional dental implants. Because they are smaller in diameter, it is necessary to have a very precise replacement so that they function correctly.
