Dental Cleanings

Preventive Care That Protects More Than Just Your Smile

Why Routine Cleanings Aren’t Optional — They’re Foundational

Dental cleanings are about far more than just polishing your teeth. They’re your first line of defense against chronic pain, costly dental procedures, and systemic health issues that begin with unchecked bacteria and inflammation in the mouth.
At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we treat cleanings as the cornerstone of your overall health. We don’t just remove plaque — we educate, screen for early warning signs, and empower you with the tools to protect your teeth and gums for life. Whether it’s your first cleaning in years or part of your regular maintenance, we meet you with compassion, expertise, and no judgment.
Because we know: when your mouth is healthy, your whole body is healthier — and your confidence grows with every smile.

What Makes Our Cleanings Different?

Most dental offices offer cleanings. But not every office offers personalized, preventive care backed by clinical excellence and delivered by a team that treats you like family.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Deep, Yet Gentle Cleaning

We use precision ultrasonic tools and skilled hands to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria both above and below the gumline — without causing pain or trauma to the gums.

Total Health Screening

Each cleaning includes a full oral health evaluation. We look for early signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, bite misalignment, and other potential issues — often before you notice any symptoms.

Gum Health Monitoring

Bleeding gums are more than a nuisance. They’re an early sign of inflammation and potential gum disease. We assess gum pockets, tissue integrity, and bone support to catch periodontal concerns early.

Personalized Home Care Guidance

We don’t just tell you to “brush better.” We show you exactly how to improve your home care routine, using your real health data and dental needs.

Comfort-Focused Experience

Dental anxiety is real — and we take it seriously. From numbing gels to stress-free techniques and friendly, non-judgmental hygienists, we make your experience as calm and comfortable as possible.

Why Cleanings Are Critical

Even If You’re Not in Pain
Many people wait until something hurts to see a dentist. But the truth is, by the time you feel pain, damage is already done — and often more costly to fix.
Regular cleanings every 6 months (or more frequently if needed) can:

Prevent cavities and early-stage tooth decay

image

Halt the progression of gum disease before it causes bone loss

image

Eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria buildup

image

Reduce your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes-related complications

image

Preserve existing dental work like crowns, implants, and fillings

Protect your natural teeth for as long as possible

Dental cleanings are a low-cost, high-impact habit that pays off for a lifetime — and we’re here to make it easy.
