Teeth Cleanings La Verne, CA
One of the best ways to avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental emergencies is by maintaining good oral hygiene. This certainly includes regular brushing and flossing, but it should also encompass regular trips to the dentist. Elevated Dentistry is pleased to provide teeth cleanings to patients in and around the La Verne, CA area. We welcome you to learn more about our approach to teeth cleanings, and about the steps you can take to maintain a bright, confident smile.

Why Get a Dental Cleaning?
There are plenty of ways in which you can benefit from routine cleanings. For example, regular teeth cleanings can provide all of these advantages:
- Regular cleanings help keep your teeth white, minimizing stains from coffee, soda, and other foods and beverages.
- By maintaining clean teeth and gums, you can also help eliminate bad breath. (This is an advantage for you and for the people around you!)
- Routine cleanings help minimize the risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
- During your routine cleaning, you will receive an oral cancer screening, allowing for early intervention as needed.

Dental cleanings are essential for sustaining oral health and hygiene.
The Benefits of Dental Cleanings
Prevent Common Oral Health Issues
Tooth decay is the #1 most common preventable oral health condition in dental patients of all ages. The good news is that with a healthy diet, good oral habits, and routine visits to the dentist, cavities are completely avoidable.
Saves Time & Money
Dental cleanings make it less likely to have problems like cavities, infected teeth, or gum disease. That means you won’t have to pay for procedures like fillings, crowns, or periodontal care, stopping you from more dental appointments later on.
Fresher Breath & Brighter Smile
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up. This contributes to bad breath and a dimmer smile. Dental cleanings clear away and polish plaque build-up which eliminates stains caused by food and beverages. As a result, you can enjoy a brighter smile and fresher breath.

The American Dental Association recommends two cleanings per year for most patients. This gives our team a chance to remove plaque and tartar buildup, so your smile can stay healthy and beautiful for longer. However, the frequency may vary based on your individual oral health needs. Your dentist or dental hygienist can assess your oral health and recommend the appropriate interval for your cleanings.
Dental cleanings are generally not painful. You may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity, particularly if you have gum inflammation or sensitive teeth, but our goal is to keep you as comfortable as possible.
The duration of a dental cleaning appointment can vary depending on various factors, such as the extent of cleaning required and your overall oral health. On average, a dental cleaning appointment lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.
The short answer is, yes. Dental cleanings remove surface stains from teeth, resulting in a brighter, cleaner look. However, if you are seeking a significantly brighter smile, we recommend additional whitening treatments or other cosmetic dental procedures.
Why Get a Dental Crown or Cap?
There are a number of reasons why you might need one of these restorative dentistry options. Crowns can be logical remedies for you if you have any of the following issues:
- Weak, cracked, or decaying teeth
- Teeth that have become severely worn down through everyday use
- Teeth that need large fillings and require some extra support
- Teeth that are oddly shaped or severely discolored
- Teeth that have been treated with a root canal
