Teeth Cleaning in Charlotte

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning in Charlotte uses vibrations and water to remove plaque and tartar, a common dental procedure. The dentist uses a special instrument—an ultrasonic scaler—to clean teeth.

Dental prophy paste removes plaque, and stains; it’s also known as prophylaxis paste. In addition, it helps with teeth polishing and cavity prevention.

It takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete a standard teeth cleaning appointment. You get to sit in a comfy chair, lie back, put on a paper bib napkin and close your eyes while the hygienist cleans your teeth.

We complete most teeth cleanings in one visit. But if a patient has gingivitis or advanced gum disease, they may need more visits. At Kleinheinz Dentistry, we individualize our patient treatments.

Hygienists perform teeth cleanings in Charlotte. If they happen to notice anything unusual that the doctor has not yet seen—like a new cavity forming for instance—we will schedule another appointment so Dr. Kleinheinz can look at it more in depth.

Yes. There is ample parking for all patients of Dr. Kleinheinz.

You should get a teeth cleaning once every 6 months if possible. At the very least, do it once a year. Dr. Kleinzheinz and our staff will be very happy to see you. 

At Kleinheinz Dentistry, we accept insurance assignment. We cannot accept HMO insurance. Many insurance plans offer two discounted cleanings annually. Reach out to us, and we’ll find out exactly what your insurance policy covers.

Note that your dental insurance could reimburse you less than the total amount billed. Unpaid claims become delinquent after 45 days, resulting in a full invoice. You are liable for all service charges incurred by you or your dependents. We will add a 30% charge to your balance if your account goes to collections because of non-payment.

Cleanings at the dentist don’t have to be a bad experience. If you take care to brush your teeth at least once a day, you can keep the bad bacteria that form in your mouth from turning into plaques which are then hard to remove at a dental cleaning. Dr. Kleinheinz recommends flossing once a day, too.
