Preventive Dentistry
Dental cleanings are the foundation of oral health; at Smile House, they’re designed to do more than polish your teeth.
Every hygiene visit is a preventive appointment that protects your smile today and supports your overall health for years to come.
Our team uses advanced diagnostics, gentle techniques, and a personalized approach to catch issues early, reduce inflammation, and create a plan that keeps your mouth—and body—in balance.

Why it Matters
Skipping cleanings can lead to gum disease, cavities, and systemic issues like heart disease or diabetes. Regular hygiene visits lower these risks while supporting fresher breath, stronger enamel, and a healthier immune system. At Smile House, we look through the four pillars of Mouth Mapping™—Aesthetics, Structure, Function, and Biology—to ensure your care goes far beyond the surface.

FAQs About Preventative Dentistry
How often should I get cleanings?
It depends on your oral health. For most people, we recommend every 6 months. For others, every 3–4 months may be best.
What’s the benefit of salivary or microbiome testing?
They can uncover early signs of inflammation, immune dysfunction, or imbalance before symptoms appear.
Do you take insurance for cleanings?
Yes—many preventive services are eligible for insurance reimbursement. Our team can help confirm your benefits.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
You’re not alone. This is a judgment-free zone. We’ll meet you where you are and guide you forward with clarity and compassion.
