• Polishing — smooths tooth surface to slow new buildup

• Fluoride treatment — strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities

• Soft tissue exam — checks gum health, bleeding points, and pocket depth

• Digital X-rays when due — optional, helps catch hidden decay early (see comprehensive dental check-up for full exam scope)

Frequently asked questions

How often should I get a cleaning?

Most adults benefit from a cleaning every 6 months. Patients with gum disease, dental implants, or higher cavity risk may need 3–4 month intervals — we'll confirm at your visit based on your gum health and history.

How long does a cleaning take?

A standard cleaning takes 45–60 minutes. If you haven't seen a hygienist in over a year and have heavier buildup, we may schedule a longer slot or recommend additional scaling units.

Does insurance cover cleanings?

CDCP covers eligible adult cleanings in full or in part depending on your income tier. Most private insurance plans cover 80–100% of routine cleanings up to your annual maximum. We verify your coverage before billing.
