Dental Cleanings
At Arise Dental, our cleanings are tailored to the health of your gums—not a one-size-fits-all approach. We use advanced techniques, gentle instrumentation, and personalized care to keep your teeth and gums healthy for years to come.
Comprehensive Exam & Probing
Every visit begins with periodontal probing to measure your gum health. This helps us determine the right type of cleaning—whether routine or therapeutic—and allows early detection of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Prophylaxis
(Routine Cleaning)
​
For patients with healthy gums, a prophy removes soft plaque and tartar above the gumline.
Our prophy includes:
-
Ultrasonic scaling
-
Gentle hand scaling
-
Thorough polishing
-
Flossing and oral hygiene guidance
-
Fluoride varnish for added cavity protection
This keeps your smile fresh, clean, and healthy.
Gingivitis Therapy
If gums are inflamed but periodontal disease has not yet developed, this cleaning targets moderate to severe gingivitis. It removes plaque and tartar around irritated tissues to reset gum health and prevent progression into bone loss or periodontal disease.
​Scaling & Root Planing
(Deep Cleaning)
For patients with periodontal disease, SRP removes tartar below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to reduce inflammation and allow the gums to heal. This is a therapeutic, medical procedure designed to stop disease progression and protect bone health.
​Periodontal Maintenance
After deep cleanings, periodontal maintenance is scheduled every 3–4 months to control bacteria and maintain gum stability. This visit focuses on deeper cleaning in areas prone to recurrence and includes monitoring pocket depths and overall healing.
Fluoride Varnish
Applied at the end of your cleaning, fluoride varnish strengthens enamel, reduces sensitivity, and provides long-term cavity protection for both adults and children.
