Keeping Cleanings Accessible With Insurance and Financing Options

Most dental insurance plans cover routine teeth cleanings, making preventive care a smart and affordable choice. If you’re uninsured or managing out-of-pocket costs, we also accept flexible financing through CareCredit®. Our team is happy to walk you through your options so cost never stands in the way of a healthier smile.

Why Routine Cleanings Matter

Skipping cleanings may seem harmless in the short term, but small issues can quickly grow into bigger problems without regular professional care. Routine cleanings give us the chance to catch early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other concerns before they cause pain or require complex treatment.

More Than Brushing and Flossing

At-home care is essential, but even the best habits can’t remove hardened tartar or detect developing issues. A professional cleaning complements your daily routine by reaching areas you can’t see or access on your own.

Protecting Your Whole Health

Oral health is closely linked to overall wellness. Regular cleanings help reduce inflammation, control bacteria, and lower your risk of serious health conditions like cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Part of a Preventive Philosophy

Dr. Tavoian and his team believe in helping patients avoid problems whenever possible. Consistent cleanings are one of the most effective ways to protect your smile and your peace of mind.

Tailored Care for Every Smile

Every smile is different, and our approach to cleanings reflects that. Whether you’re bringing in a child for their first appointment or returning after a few years away, we adjust our care to meet your needs.

Children: We create a fun, educational experience to help young patients feel at ease and build healthy habits early.
Adults: From busy parents to working professionals, we provide efficient, thorough cleanings that fit your schedule.
Seniors: Our gentle techniques and focus on comfort are ideal for patients managing age-related dental changes or medical concerns.
Anxious patients: If you’re nervous about dental visits, we offer kind communication and sedation dentistry options to help you feel in control.

This personalized approach helps every patient feel respected, safe, and confident in their care.

What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning in Cedar City, UT

Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and confident throughout your visit. Our team walks you through each step and makes sure you understand what’s happening at every stage.

Initial Exam

Your appointment begins with a visual and physical exam of your teeth and gums. We check for signs of decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns that may need attention.

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Using specialized tools, your hygienist carefully removes hardened plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing can’t eliminate.

Polishing and Flossing

We use a polishing tool to remove surface stains and give your teeth a smooth, clean finish. Then we complete the process with a thorough flossing to remove any leftover debris.

Personalized Guidance

Before you leave, we offer custom tips on brushing, flossing, and dietary habits to help you keep your teeth healthy between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Cleaning in Cedar City, UT

Will a cleaning make my teeth look whiter?

It can. Cleanings remove surface stains, which in turn makes your smile appear brighter. However, if you’re looking for a more dramatic change, we offer professional teeth whitening with in-office and take-home options.

When should my child have their first dental cleaning?

We recommend bringing your child in for their first cleaning around age three, or earlier if they’re comfortable. Starting early helps them get used to the dental chair and sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Do cleanings hurt?

Most patients find cleanings easy and comfortable, especially with our gentle approach. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, just let us know. We can adjust our technique or recommend sedation options to keep your visit stress-free.
