dental cleanings

The best way to maintain a healthy smile is through an effective dental hygiene routine combined with regular dental cleanings — and quality periodontal therapy where needed.

Our services combine a focus on lifetime prevention and care with treatments that target areas of concern, including cleanings and periodontal therapy, in addition to our cosmetic procedures.

Dental Cleanings

Seeing your dentist for a cleaning and exam every six months is the best thing you can do to keep your smile healthy. At Lee’s Summit Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we see patients of all ages — starting at age 1. During routine cleanings and exams, our dental team:

• Performs a thorough teeth cleaning, removing plaque and tartar build-up
• Polishes your teeth to reveal a radiant smile
• Examines your teeth for any signs of tooth decay or other damage
• Examines your gums, checking for signs of gum disease
• Assesses any existing dental restorations, including fillings, crowns, and implants, for any needed maintenance or repair
• Screens you for oral cancer
• Takes digital x-rays for a deeper look into your oral health
