Teeth Cleaning

While dental emergencies can happen to anyone, our patients in Roanoke and surrounding areas who stay consistent with preventive dental care experience far fewer issues over time. Routine professional cleanings with one of our registered dental hygienists allow us to take a proactive approach to your long-term oral health.

Even with excellent home care, mineralized plaque—called tartar—can form on certain areas of your teeth. These deposits provide a safe haven for millions of harmful bacteria that release toxins into your gums. If left undisturbed, this bacterial buildup can trigger chronic inflammation and even lead to tooth loss.

At your regular visits to our Roanoke dental office, we gently remove these harmful deposits before they have a chance to cause serious damage. Routine cleanings at North Roanoke Dental Associates help break the cycle of gum disease and support healthier teeth and gums for years to come. As your trusted Roanoke dentist, we’re committed to thorough, gentle care every step of the way.

After scaling, we polish your teeth using a professional-strength paste that removes stains and microscopic plaque. This polishing leaves your teeth smooth, shiny, and more resistant to new buildup. Over time, staining can settle into the enamel, but this finishing touch helps slow yellowing and keeps your smile looking bright and refreshed.
