Professional Teeth Cleaning in NW Calgary

Freshen Up Your Smile with NW Calgary’s Trusted Dental Cleaning!

Maintaining a healthy smile requires more than just brushing and flossing at home. At Luna Dental, we provide professional teeth cleaning in NW Calgary to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Our experienced dental hygienists use advanced techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean.

Why Luna Dental for Hygiene Therapy?

Regular dental cleanings play a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. Even with good at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up over time, leading to potential issues such as:

  • Cavities – Plaque buildup can erode tooth enamel, causing decay.
  • Gum Disease – Tartar accumulation can lead to gingivitis and, if untreated, periodontitis.
  • Bad Breath – Bacteria trapped in plaque and tartar contribute to persistent bad breath.
  • Staining – Teeth can become discoloured from food, drinks, and tobacco use.

 

Our professional dental cleanings in NW Calgary ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy while giving you a brighter smile.

What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning Appointment

  • Oral Exam – A dental hygienist will assess your gums and teeth for signs of plaque buildup and other issues.
  • Scaling & Tartar Removal – Using specialized tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar, especially from hard-to-reach areas.
  • Polishing – A high-powered polishing tool and special paste help remove surface stains for a smooth, clean finish.
  • Fluoride Treatment (Optional) – Strengthen your enamel with a fluoride application to help protect against cavities.
  • Personalized Oral Care Advice – We provide tips on brushing, flossing, and maintaining good oral hygiene at home.
How Often Should You Get a Teeth Cleaning?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist for a cleaning at least twice a year. However, some patients with gum disease or other dental concerns may require more frequent visits. Our team will assess your individual needs and recommend a cleaning schedule that works best for you.

 

A healthy smile starts with regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. At Luna Dental, we are committed to providing high-quality dental care in a comfortable environment.

 

FAQ About Dental Teeth Cleaning

Does teeth cleaning hurt?

Most patients find dental cleanings painless. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you may experience slight discomfort. Our team ensures a gentle and comfortable experience.

How long does a dental cleaning take?

A standard cleaning typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the level of plaque and tartar buildup.

Is professional teeth cleaning necessary if I brush and floss regularly?

Yes! Even with excellent oral hygiene, plaque can harden into tartar, which cannot be removed by brushing alone. Professional cleaning is essential to maintaining a healthy smile.

Can I use the Canada Dental Benefit Program to cover teeth cleaning?

Yes! The Canada Dental Benefit Program is designed to help eligible families with the cost of dental care, including teeth cleanings. If you qualify, this program can cover a portion of your dental cleaning expenses. Contact our office to learn more about eligibility and how to apply.

Can teeth cleanings whiten my teeth?

While professional cleanings remove surface stains, they do not change the natural colour of your teeth. If you’re looking for a brighter smile, ask us about our teeth whitening options.
