Why Choose Calgary South Dental for This

Our hygienists take the time to make cleanings comfortable, not rushed. We combine each cleaning with a gentle check for anything that may need your dentist's attention, so small issues get caught early rather than turning into bigger ones. With direct billing accepted for most major insurance providers and a convenient SE Calgary location, staying consistent with your cleanings is easy.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your cleaning begins with a review of your gums and teeth, followed by the removal of plaque and tartar using gentle instruments. Your hygienist will then polish your teeth, leaving them smooth and refreshed. Most cleanings take under an hour, and many patients pair theirs with a routine oral exam on the same visit.

Related Treatments

If your hygienist notices signs of gum disease during your cleaning, we may recommend scaling and root planing, a deeper cleaning treatment that addresses buildup below the gumline. We can also pair your cleaning with an oral exam to cover your full checkup in one visit.
