The short answer
A professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing can't, then polishes your teeth smooth. It's not painful, takes about 30–60 minutes, and is recommended every 6 months. At Just Smile a regular cleaning is $69 for new patients, $150 regular, and most insurance covers two a year at $0.
Why it matters
The Tartar You Can't Brush Off
Plaque hardens into tartar in spots a toothbrush can't reach. Only a professional can remove it. Here's the difference one cleaning makes.
Before: tartar buildup
Hardened tartar along the gumline traps bacteria, causing cavities, bad breath, and gum disease.
After: clean & healthy
Smooth, brighter teeth and healthier gums, plus a fresh start that's easier to keep clean.
What Happens at Your Cleaning
Gentle, thorough, and usually done in 30–60 minutes.
Remove tartar
A gentle ultrasonic scaler lifts away plaque and hardened tartar above the gumline.
Polish smooth
We polish every surface so teeth feel smooth and surface stains lift, making plaque slower to return.
Protect
A quick exam and optional fluoride finish, and we flag anything to watch before it becomes a problem.
Regular vs Deep Cleaning
Most healthy patients only ever need a regular cleaning. A deep cleaning is a different treatment for gum disease.
| Regular cleaning | Deep cleaning (SRP) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it treats | Healthy gums (prevention) | Gum disease |
| Where it cleans | Above the gumline | Below the gumline, on the roots |
| How often | Every 6 months | As needed, then maintenance |
| Numbing | Not needed | Usually numbed |
| Who it's for | Most people | Bleeding gums, deep pockets, bone loss |

Book your cleaning →Will it whiten my teeth?
A cleaning removes surface stains and tartar, so teeth look brighter and feel smoother, but it won't change your natural shade. To go whiter, add professional whitening.
Can I remove tartar at home?
No. Brushing removes soft plaque, but once it hardens into tartar only a hygienist can remove it safely. DIY scaler kits can scratch enamel and hurt your gums, so please leave it to us.
More than a clean feeling
Why Every 6 Months Matters
A cleaning is the cheapest dentistry you'll ever do, and it prevents the expensive kind. Twice-a-year visits stop tartar before it causes cavities or gum disease, and because gum health is linked to your heart and blood sugar, it's good for more than your smile.
