Maintaining a Healthy Smile Should Be Simple
Regular dental cleanings and exams play a key role in maintaining a healthy smile over time. Even when everything feels fine, small changes can happen gradually. Routine visits allow us to identify and manage those changes early, before they become more involved.
For many patients, regular dental appointments provide clarity. They understand where things stand and what, if anything, needs attention. At Kuna Dental, we like to keep your care simple, so you can make confident decisions about your oral health.
What a Professional Teeth Cleaning Does
During your teeth cleaning, our dental hygienist team removes buildup that daily brushing and flossing can miss. Over time, plaque can harden into tartar, especially along the gumline. Once that happens, it cannot be removed at home. During a dental cleaning at Kuna Dental, we:
- Remove plaque and tartar
- Clean along the gumline
- Polish the teeth to smooth the surface
- Check in on home care habits
Our goal is to support healthy teeth and gums, which can simplify your dental care (and your life) in the long run.
Your Dental Exam Matters, Too
After your cleaning, Dr. Haws, Dr. Croft, or Dr. Stirland will conduct your exam to look a little deeper. This includes checking for:
- Early signs of tooth decay
- Changes in gum health
- Wear, cracks, or concerns with existing dental work
- Areas that may need to be monitored over time
If something needs attention, we explain it in plain terms so you understand what it means and what your options are.
How Often to Have a Dental Exam & Cleaning
For the majority of patients, a six-month schedule with twice-yearly preventive visits works well. However, not everyone fits that mold.
Patients who are especially prone to tooth decay or have gum disease can benefit from more frequent visits. Others with a track record of few complications may not need to be seen as often.
The bottom line is that we’ll make recommendations based on your oral health, not a fixed schedule.
Dental Cleaning Cost and Insurance
Your out-of-pocket cost for a dental cleaning can vary depending on:
- Your dental insurance status
- Plan coverage and deductibles
Many dental plans will cover preventive visits at 100%. Our team is insurance savvy, and can help you determine what your plan covers and what your costs are likely to be, if any.
If you’re uninsured, you can take advantage of our Kuna Dental Membership Plan. This is not insurance. It’s an insurance alternative with a low monthly fee that includes:
- Professional cleanings
- Dentist exams (2x/year)
- Annual X-rays
- 20% off all other dental services
If anything outside of routine care is recommended during your routine visit, we’ll provide you with a clear explanation and cost estimate, so you know what to expect before making a decision.
