Dental Cleanings in Dallas, TX
Remove plaque and tartar buildup to maintain healthier teeth, gums, and long-term oral stability.
What is Dental Cleaning?
Dental cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from areas regular brushing can’t reach. At The Dental Method in Dallas, TX, we offer different levels of care based on your gum health: oral prophylaxis for routine upkeep, scaling and root planing for deeper cleaning below the gumline, and periodontal maintenance for ongoing care after periodontal treatment.
Each type of cleaning is performed with careful evaluation and modern techniques to support a healthier environment for your teeth and gums. Most people don’t realize that brushing and flossing only reach about two-thirds of the tooth surface, which is why professional cleanings stay essential throughout adulthood.

Who Benefits from Dental Cleaning?
Dental cleanings are essential for patients who want to maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent oral health issues from developing over time. Even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can accumulate in areas that are difficult to reach at home, especially along the gumline. Patients with healthy gums, early signs of gingivitis, or a history of periodontal concerns may all require different types of professional cleanings.
Regular dental cleanings are especially important for individuals managing gum sensitivity, previous gum disease, or long gaps between dental visits.
Technology That Supports Healthier Cleanings
Modern dental cleaning technology is designed to support different levels of care. At The Dental Method, cleanings use precision hand instruments to remove plaque during oral prophylaxis. For deeper cleaning needs, scaling and root planing relies on ultrasonic technology to break up hardened deposits below the gumline while smoothing root surfaces for better gum reattachment.
Periodontal maintenance combines both approaches, using targeted instrumentation and monitoring to manage areas that require ongoing attention. This layered process allows each type of cleaning to be performed accurately, comfortably, and in a way that supports healthier gums over time.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your visit begins with an assessment of your gum health and buildup levels. Depending on your needs, the cleaning may include routine polishing, deeper scaling below the gumline, or periodontal maintenance. The hygienist will explain what type of cleaning is being performed and why, ensuring comfort throughout the process. The visit concludes with guidance on maintaining gum health between appointments.
