When was the last time your smile felt truly fresh and clean? A professional teeth cleaning in Woodland Hills, CA, clears away the plaque and tartar that everyday brushing leaves behind, protecting your teeth from cavities and gum disease.

A teeth cleaning is a professional treatment that removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria to keep your teeth healthy and bright. Our team is experienced in both regular prophylaxis cleanings, which maintain healthy teeth and gums, and deep cleanings known as scaling and root planing, which treat gum disease by removing buildup above and below the gumline. Together with good home care, regular cleanings help address and prevent oral health issues before they become serious.

A regular cleaning, or prophylaxis, removes plaque and tartar to maintain healthy teeth and gums. A deep cleaning, called scaling and root planing, goes further to remove buildup and bacterial toxins above and below the gumline to treat gum disease.
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in places that are hard to reach. A professional cleaning removes these deposits to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
Keep up a diligent brushing and flossing routine at home and attend your regular maintenance cleanings. Our team provides ongoing guidance to help you protect your results and prevent future problems.
