Why Professional Dental Cleanings Matter More Than You Think

Let’s be honest—life gets busy, and routine dental visits are easy to put off. But if you’ve been skipping cleanings, you could be missing one of the most important steps in protecting your overall health.

At Miami Veneers, we don’t just clean teeth—we prevent future problems, catch early signs of trouble, and help your smile look and feel its best. Whether it’s your first cleaning in years or you’re right on schedule, here’s why these visits are anything but “just a cleaning.”

What Does a Dental Cleaning Do?

A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing simply can’t reach. It also polishes your teeth to reduce surface stains and helps prevent issues like:

  • Cavities
  • Gum disease
  • Bad breath
  • Enamel erosion
  • Tooth loss

Plus, every cleaning at Miami Veneers includes a full oral health screening and personalized care tailored to your smile goals.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

  1. Oral Exam
    Dr. Dina or one of our hygienists will begin by checking for signs of gum disease, decay, or other issues.
  2. Scaling
    We remove hardened plaque (tartar) from above and below the gum line using ultrasonic tools or Airflow technology for added comfort.
  3. Polishing
    Teeth are polished smooth with a special paste to remove surface stains and prevent buildup.
  4. Flossing & Fluoride (Optional)
    We’ll finish by flossing and applying fluoride if needed for extra cavity protection.

How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?

Most people should come in every 6 months for optimal oral health. However, if you have a history of gum disease, wear braces, or have certain restorations (like crowns or veneers), Dr. Dina may recommend more frequent cleanings.

What Makes Our Cleanings Different?

At Miami Veneers, we invest in your comfort and results. That’s why we offer:

  • Gentle cleanings tailored to sensitive teeth
  • State-of-the-art EMS Airflow technology
  • Experienced hygienists and personalized recommendations
  • Spa-like environment with a warm, calming approach

No rushed visits. No judgment. Just high-quality care that makes you want to come back.

Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning: What’s the Difference?

A regular cleaning is preventative—removing buildup from healthy teeth and gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a more involved treatment used to treat gum disease by cleaning deep under the gum line.

Dr. Dina will help you determine what’s best based on your current gum health.

Do Cleanings Whiten Teeth?

While they’re not the same as a professional whitening treatment, cleanings do remove surface stains and polish your teeth, which can leave your smile noticeably brighter.
