What's included in a Cleaning?

Cleaning is also known as scaling (you'll see this on your invoice). Our team takes the time to gently remove build-up around the teeth. The cost of cleaning is patient-dependent and charged based on "units" of time. Each "unit" of scaling is 15 minutes. Depending on the amount of build-up, you may require more or fewer units. Polishing and fluoride are also recommended during your cleaning appointment.

Feeling unsure? Ask us anything—we're all ears and here to help during your appointment.

How often do I need to come in for a Cleaning?

I recently had X-Ray performed at my former dentist - do I need to pay for these again?

What's the difference between Bitewing X-rays, Periapical X-rays, & Panoramic X-rays? Why do I need them?

Bitewing X-rays, Peripical X-rays, and Panoramic X-rays each have a distinct function in monitoring oral health. Your dentist will determine the need for X-rays according to your specific health care needs.

Bitewings show the crowns of several upper and lower teeth simultaneously. It is commonly used for cavity detection between teeth, evaluation of bone health, and detection of calculus deposits. They are recommended annually or as deemed appropriate by a dental professional.

Periapicals (aka PAs) show the entire tooth crown, root, and surrounding bone. They are commonly used to detect changes in the bone and surrounding tissues, cysts, bone tumours, and abscesses. They are recommended every 2–3 years.

Panoramics (aka PANs) show many structures at once, including the teeth, bone around the teeth, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and other structures of the face. PANs should be done every 3–5 years.
