Dental cleaning in Vancouver's Oakridge neighbourhood
Gentle, prevention-focused cleanings and checkups for children, adults and seniors, at our Oakridge Park office.
What a professional cleaning does
Brushing and flossing miss plaque and tartar in the places that matter most. A professional cleaning removes it, polishes your teeth, and gives your dentist a chance to check for early signs of cavities or gum problems.
Catching a problem early usually means smaller, simpler treatment. If you have gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing, a deeper cleaning that removes bacteria and tartar below the gumline.
Benefits of regular cleanings
Plaque and tartar removed
Buildup that home care cannot reach is cleared away.

Fresher breath, brighter teeth
Cleaning reduces bad breath and lifts surface stains.
Early detection
Small issues are spotted before they become painful or costly.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I get a professional cleaning?
Many patients with healthy teeth and gums come every six months. If you have gum disease or heavy tartar buildup, every three to four months is often better. We will recommend a schedule for you.
What is scaling and root planing?
It is a deeper cleaning for gum problems. It removes bacteria and tartar from below the gumline so your gums can heal.
Do you see children and seniors?
Yes. We care for children, adults and seniors.
Is a cleaning covered by insurance?
Many plans cover regular cleanings, and CDCP may help if you qualify. Coverage varies by plan, so check your benefits or call us.
