Keep your smile healthy, bright, and fresh with expert dental cleanings from Lake Bluff Dental. Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last visit, Dr. Carolyn Griffin and our friendly team are here to help you maintain your oral health with personalized, gentle care
Dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are routine preventive appointments designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. Even with great brushing and flossing habits, professional cleanings are essential for protecting your teeth and gums from decay and disease. At Lake Bluff Dental, we tailor each cleaning to your specific needs—whether you’re due for a standard cleaning or require deeper care for early signs of gum disease.
Prevent Cavities & Gum
DiseaseCleanings remove buildup that leads to tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontal disease—helping you avoid more extensive treatment down the road.
Freshen Your Breath & Brighten Your Smile
Plaque and tartar can cause persistent bad breath and discoloration. A cleaning leaves your mouth feeling fresh and your smile looking brighter.
Monitor Your Oral Health
During every cleaning, Dr. Griffin performs a comprehensive exam to check for signs of cavities, gum issues, and other dental concerns early—when they’re easiest to treat.
We’ll begin by reviewing your oral health history and, if needed, taking digital X-rays to check for decay or hidden issues below the surface.
One of our skilled hygienists will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and around your gum line using gentle, effective tools. We’ll polish your teeth and floss thoroughly for a clean, refreshed feel.
Dr. Griffin will evaluate your teeth and gums, discuss any findings, and answer your questions. If you need additional care or follow-up, we’ll walk you through your options clearly and compassionately.
