What is Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning?

Ultrasonic dental cleaning uses cutting-edge technology to gently break down plaque and tartar with high-frequency vibrations and water. Unlike manual scaling, this process is faster, more efficient, and reaches deeper areas to protect your teeth and gums. The result? A more comfortable, thorough clean that makes every dental visit feel effortless. Whether it's routine maintenance or tackling deep plaque removal, ultrasonic cleaning is the modern solution for healthier teeth.

Why Choose Ultrasonic Dental Cleanings at Soothing Dental?


At Soothing Dental, we go beyond basic dental care. Here’s why patients prefer our ultrasonic dental cleanings:

  • Gentle on Sensitive Teeth: Unlike traditional methods, ultrasonic cleaning is safe for sensitive teeth, ensuring a pain-free experience.
  • Deep Plaque Removal: The ultrasonic scaler reaches below the gumline, eliminating plaque and tartar more effectively than manual tools.
  • Stain Removal: From coffee stains to smoking, ultrasonic cleanings can help brighten your smile by reducing surface stains.
  • Prevent Gum Disease: Regular cleanings with ultrasonic technology are your first line of defense against gum disease.
  • Efficiency: With shorter appointment times and enhanced cleaning power, you'll be back to your routine in no time.

How Often Should I Get an Dental Cleaning?

Routine dental cleanings are recommended every six months, but depending on your oral health, Dr. Vinton may suggest more frequent visits to prevent plaque buildup and maintain a healthy smile.

Does Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning Hurt?

No, ultrasonic cleanings are designed to be gentle. In fact, many patients find them more comfortable than traditional manual cleanings because they require less pressure on the teeth.

Is Ultrasonic Cleaning Recommended for Children or Only Adults?

Ultrasonic cleanings are suitable for both children and adults, though the recommendation depends on the child’s age and oral health. For older children with significant plaque buildup or those at risk of gum disease, ultrasonic cleanings can be a great option as they provide a deeper clean and are less invasive. Dr. Vinton will assess each patient's needs and recommend the best cleaning method to ensure optimal results for their age and dental health.

How Does Ultrasonic Cleaning Help with Bad Breath?

Bad breath, often caused by plaque buildup and bacteria, can be significantly reduced with ultrasonic dental cleaning. The high-frequency vibrations break up plaque and remove harmful bacteria from the gumline, which helps to neutralize the causes of bad breath. By keeping your teeth and gums healthy and free from tartar, ultrasonic cleaning also reduces the chances of gingivitis, another common cause of bad breath.

Is Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning Safe for Sensitive Teeth?

Absolutely. Ultrasonic dental cleaning is gentle and safe for patients with sensitive teeth. Unlike traditional manual scaling, ultrasonic tools use vibrations rather than pressure to clean the teeth, making the process more comfortable. For patients with sensitive areas, our team can adjust the intensity of the ultrasonic scaler to ensure a painless and effective cleaning experience.
