When DIY Is Okay — and When It’s Time to Come In
You can do a lot at home to keep your teeth clean — brushing, flossing, and yes, even using a gentle at-home scraper for light buildup or stain. If it flakes off easily and you’re not pressing hard, that’s fine.
But if you’re scrubbing and nothing’s budging — or you feel like you’re working too hard — it’s time to let us handle it. Tartar that’s hardened won’t come off safely at home, and trying too hard can damage your enamel or gums.
When in doubt, let us check. We’ll tell you what’s safe to do yourself and what’s better left to us. No judgment — just real help.
What a Cleaning With Us Is Really Like
No lectures. No shame. No surprises. We start by seeing what’s going on — buildup, inflammation, or trouble spots. Then we clean gently but thoroughly using professional tools that go way beyond what’s possible at home. If anything’s sensitive, we take it slow and let you guide the pace. Most people leave saying, “That wasn’t bad at all.” You’ll walk out feeling fresher — and knowing what’s really going on with your teeth.
What If It’s Been Years?
You’re not the only one. Whether it’s been a few years or a few decades, we’re not here to judge. We’re here to help. No matter how things look or feel, we’ll start where you are and focus on getting you back to healthy — at your pace. We’ve seen it all. And honestly? It usually looks worse to you than it really is to us.
What Happens After the Cleaning?
Most people feel an immediate difference — smoother teeth, fresher breath, and a sense of relief. We’ll talk through what we saw, what (if anything) needs attention, and answer your questions. You’ll walk away with a clear picture of where things stand. If it’s all routine? Awesome. We’ll get you set for your next visit. If you need follow-up care? We’ll break it down step-by-step, with costs and options up front — no pressure, just a plan.
Ready When You Are
Whether you’re just curious or finally ready to handle the buildup — we’ve got you. Cleanings don’t have to be uncomfortable, and you don’t need to feel bad about how long it’s been. We’ve seen it all — and what matters most is that you’re taking the next step now. If it’s been a while (or forever), no worries. We’ll explain everything, go at your pace, and treat only what’s necessary.
What It Costs
For uninsured or out-of-network patients, most cleanings and exams range from $180 to $250, depending on your needs.
If you’re due for X-rays, they’re included. If there’s more going on (like gum issues or buildup that needs extra time), we’ll let you know beforehand — no surprise charges.
If we’re in-network with your insurance, we’ll handle it directly and review coverage and estimated costs with you first.
