Why Professional Dental Cleanings Matter
Even the most consistent brushers and flossers develop plaque and tartar buildup over time. Plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, hardens into tartar when left in place and can only be removed with professional instruments. Left untreated, tartar buildup creates the conditions for tooth decay and gum disease, two of the most common and preventable oral health concerns. Regular professional cleanings at Aesthetic Elements Dental Studio remove this buildup before it has the chance to cause lasting damage, keeping your teeth and gums in their best possible condition between visits.
What to Expect During Your Cleaning

Routine Cleanings and Periodontal Cleanings
Not all dental cleanings are the same. The type of cleaning recommended for you will depend on the current state of your gum health.
- Routine Prophylaxis Cleaning: A routine prophylaxis cleaning is recommended for patients whose gums are healthy or show only minimal signs of inflammation. This type of cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar from above and just below the gumline and is typically recommended every six months as part of a standard preventive care schedule.
- Periodontal Cleaning: For patients who show signs of gum disease or have a history of periodontal concerns, a more thorough cleaning approach may be recommended. Periodontal cleanings go deeper below the gumline to address buildup that has accumulated in the pockets between the teeth and gums. This type of cleaning is an important part of managing gum disease and protecting the long-term health of your teeth and surrounding bone.
