Dental Cleaning
Gentle, thorough teeth cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup, freshens your smile, and protects your gums for the long run.
Dental Cleaning
Plaque builds up on your teeth every day, and brushing alone cannot remove everything hiding along the gumline. A professional dental cleaning near me search usually starts the moment you notice rough spots on your teeth or bleeding when you floss.
At Heritage Dental Studio, our dental hygienists in downtown Toronto use gentle scaling tools to clear buildup your toothbrush cannot reach, then polish your teeth so they feel smooth again. Every visit ends with a quick check for early signs of decay or gum disease.
The Basics
A dental cleaning downtown Toronto patients receive at Heritage starts with scaling, where your hygienist removes plaque and hardened tartar from above and below the gumline. This step targets the buildup that daily brushing and flossing miss.
After scaling, your teeth are polished to smooth the surface and reduce future plaque adhesion, then flossed and finished with a fluoride treatment if needed. Most routine cleanings for healthy gums take 30 to 45 minutes.

FAQ
Cost depends on whether you need a routine cleaning or a deeper scaling treatment. We provide a clear estimate before your visit and directly bill most insurance plans.
Most patients benefit from a cleaning every 6 months, though some with gum disease history may need visits every 3 to 4 months.
Many private plans cover routine cleanings, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan may cover a portion depending on eligibility. We check your coverage before treatment.
Most patients feel light pressure rather than pain. If you have sensitive gums, let your hygienist know so they can adjust their approach.
A regular cleaning treats healthy gums above the gumline, while a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease below the gumline and may need local anesthetic.
