Why Prevention Matters
Why we never skip a step.
Plaque builds up on your teeth every day. If it isn't removed, it hardens into tartar — which only a hygienist can clean off. Tartar then irritates your gums and creates pockets where bacteria multiply, leading to gum disease and tooth decay.
Twice-a-year visits stop the cascade before it starts. It's the single most cost-effective thing you can do for your long-term oral health.
Cost and Time
What it costs
Most cleanings and routine exams are fully covered by Delta Dental, United Concordia, and most major insurance plans. We file all insurance on your behalf and confirm your coverage before your visit. Out-of-pocket costs vary based on plan — call us and we'll check for you.
Call to check your benefitsHow long it takes
A typical adult cleaning + exam takes 45–60 minutes. New-patient first visits run a bit longer (60–75 min) because we take comprehensive X-rays and walk you through everything we see.

Patient testimonial
"I've been coming here twice a year for over 25 years. They know my teeth better than I do — and they always explain exactly what they're seeing. I've never had a cavity surprise me."
