Professional dental cleaning is key to maintaining a bright, healthy smile. While brushing and flossing are essential to your daily routine, they may not remove all the plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to dental issues. At San Antonio Smiles, our skilled dental hygienists thoroughly clean your teeth to be spotless, fresh, and free of any harmful buildup.

✨ What to expect during your cleaning:

✔ Removal of plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach
✔ Polishing to eliminate surface stains and enhance the appearance of your smile
✔ A deep clean that helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental conditions
