London Square Dental Centre

Dental Cleanings in Calgary

Fresh breath, brighter teeth, and healthier gums start with a professional cleaning.

Overview

A professional dental cleaning removes the plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing at home simply cannot reach. At London Square Dental Centre, our hygienists perform gentle, thorough cleanings for patients of all ages, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath before they start.

What Is a Professional Dental Cleaning

Plaque forms on your teeth every day from food and bacteria, and if it is not removed it hardens into tartar, which only a dental professional can remove safely. A professional cleaning uses specialized tools to clear away plaque and tartar above and along the gum line, followed by polishing to leave your teeth smooth and bright.

What Is Included

  • Removal of plaque and tartar using professional tools
  • Polishing to smooth the tooth surface and remove surface stains
  • Flossing to clear debris between teeth
  • A fluoride treatment if recommended for your case
  • A gum health check as part of the cleaning process

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your hygienist will start by checking your gums for any signs of inflammation or concern. Using professional tools, they will carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth, including areas along the gum line. Your teeth will then be polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth. If recommended, a fluoride treatment will be applied to help protect your enamel.

Related Treatments

If your hygienist notices early signs of gum disease, we may recommend Periodontal Treatment & Gum Care or a deeper cleaning through Scaling & Root Planing. Most patients pair their cleaning with a Check-Ups & Cleanings exam for complete preventive care.

Cost of Dental Cleanings in Calgary

The cost of a professional cleaning depends on how much buildup needs to be removed and whether any additional treatment like fluoride is included. Many insurance plans cover routine cleanings in part or in full. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, direct bill most insurance providers, and offer 0% financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a dental cleaning take?
A routine cleaning typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how much plaque and tartar buildup there is to remove.
Does dental cleaning hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during a routine cleaning. If you have sensitive gums or have not been in for a while, you may feel mild sensitivity, which our hygienists work to keep as comfortable as possible.
How often should I get my teeth professionally cleaned?
Most patients should have a professional cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease or other risk factors, we may recommend cleanings every three to four months.
What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning addresses plaque and tartar above the gum line, while a deep cleaning, known as scaling and root planing, treats buildup below the gum line for patients with gum disease.
Can a dental cleaning whiten my teeth?
A cleaning removes surface stains from food, drinks, and tobacco, which can noticeably brighten your smile, but it is not the same as professional teeth whitening for deeper, more dramatic results.
