Dental cleaning in Cortland, NY

Featured Reviews
I had a really really good experience. All the staff were super professional and friendly. Felt very different from most businesses these days.
Went in for an emergency tooth issue. It was easy to make an appointment. The staff was clean, very friendly and definitely professional. They explained everything to me and allowed me time to review their plan and understand it, and answering my questions and concerns. I appreciated how nice everyone was and not making you feel worse about the situation. Overall I would recommend Aspen to anyone experiencing a tooth issue.
5/5 Great Place! Dr.Dinnerstein is a professional with an amazing bedside manner. He really listened to me to get my bonding just right and he did a great job explaining different options and dental procedures before he fixed my tooth. 100% recommend Aspen in Cortland. I was in Cortland visiting family and have never been to an Aspen dental before, but my bonding fell out (seemingly on its own) and they had me back to a full smile less than 4 hours after it fell out. Taylor was very nice and competent and did a great job dealing with my dental insurance and Laurie was friendly as well.

Dental cleanings, or preventative hygiene services, start with a screening. Your hygienist will review your teeth and gums before removing light plaque and tartar. After, they’ll polish your teeth to remove any surface stains for a brighter smile. After your hygiene care, your Aspen Dental dentist will review your oral health and recommended any needed follow-up care.

If you’ve recently had a dental cleaning, here’s how you can keep that freshly-cleaned feeling longer: brush your teeth twice a day, floss in between your teeth everyday, drink water throughout the day, try an electric tooth brush and water flosser for a more effective daily care routine, skip excess sugar, and come to your routine 6-month checkups. With these small habits, you can keep your smile at its best in between visits.
