Professional Dental Cleanings

Professional dental cleanings at Vista Dental remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Our dental hygienists perform a thorough six-step cleaning process:

01

Physical Exam

Our hygienist evaluates your oral health to identify areas requiring extra attention.

02

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Using a scaler, the hygienist removes tartar deposits around your gum line and between teeth.

03

Professional Polishing

A gritty toothpaste and high-powered brush remove surface stains and remaining plaque.

04

Expert Flossing

Our hygienist flosses hard-to-reach areas and identifies spots needing attention.

05

Rinse

A thorough rinse removes all remaining debris.

06

Fluoride Treatment

A protective fluoride application strengthens your tooth enamel against decay.

Tooth sensitivity after filling

After a filling, it’s common to experience sensitivity in your tooth. This may be triggered by pressure, air exposure, and cold and sweet foods – but not for long! Usually, within a few weeks, the discomfort should subside on its own; until then, do what you can to avoid the causes of this sensitivity without relying on pain relief medications.

Insurance and Cost

At Vista Dental, we take into account a variety of factors when determining costs for dental fillings – from size and extent of decay to your insurance coverage benefits. Our staff would be more than happy to review these details with you prior to any procedure so that you can make informed decisions about how best to use your resources in obtaining top-notch oral health care services.
