Dental Cleanings
Dental Cleaning Services
in Vancouver at Luxe Dental Hygiene
The removal of tartar deposits (also known as calculus) from the teeth, both above and below the gumline, is called scaling and root planing. The removal of plaque and calculus (ultimately bacteria) is the best way to maintain healthy teeth and gums and to prevent or reverse gingivitis and periodontitis.
We can also treat more advanced gum disease by providing gum therapy directed at reducing inflammation and gum pockets. This can range from 2 to 4 appointments of deep cleaning, with optional deep pocket irrigation using a medicated solution. Follow-up appointments will occur at regular intervals.

Preventative Services
At Luxe, we believe that regular dental hygiene maintenance is a big factor in achieving long lasting oral health. Often, we find patients are very busy with work or their social lives that they forget to take care of their teeth and gums.
​
This can cause many problems including: tooth decay, bad breath, gum disease and root canals. Hygienists recommend booking time for preventative dental care such as routine dental cleanings at least every 6 months.
​
Visiting us for professional teeth cleanings regularly will help keep your teeth and gums healthy and will allow our team to detect any problems early on.
What's Included:
Our preventative dental hygiene maintenance program includes regular teeth cleanings and examinations typically performed every 6 months.
Scaling & Root Planing
Removing plaque and tartar between the teeth and gums, which accumulates over time. Scaling and root planing helps to remove the bacteria that causes inflammation of the gums, which can lead to gum disease.
Polishing
Removes surface stains on the teeth making your teeth feel smooth and shiny!
Fluoride
Strengthens your enamel to help fight tooth decay and protect your teeth against cavities. Fluoride also helps prevent tooth sensitivity by depositing important minerals into the enamel.

Digital Radiographs (x-rays)
X-rays help our team to provide a better understanding of your oral health and to detect cavities, bone loss or other diseases that are not visible on the surface.
Prevention & Maintenance
Prevention is the best cure. Periodontal disease can be prevented, and even reversed, when caught in the early stages. By having regular and professional dental cleanings, you could catch and treat gum disease before it becomes a problem.
