Dr. Iulo was a very good dentist. He’s warm and friendly. Good service overall from the entire staff from start to finish.

I’ve always believed dentist offices were portals to another dimension—one filled with fluorescent lights, mysterious whirring noises, and the faint scent of minty doom. Every visit anywhere else left me gripping the chair like I was preparing for atmospheric re-entry. But then I walked into Dr. Iulo’s office. Instead of terror, I was greeted with warm smiles. Instead of dread, I found myself strangely…relaxed. The staff chatted with me like I wasn’t a flight risk, and Dr. Iulo explained everything so clearly that I forgot to panic. Before I knew it, the appointment was over—and I was actually smiling.

I can't say enough about the Aspen Dental West Ashley team! I was greeted by Sakina who made a great first impression. Jade took me back and put me at ease during my scanning and x-rays. I have huge tori's but Jade got me through this step with such compassion. Kat then took over and she was extremely professional and knowledgeable. After meeting Dr. Iulo, I was convinced that becoming a new patient of this practice was a good decision. I appreciate you and will see you after my root canal consult with Dr. Steinkruger.

Benefits of getting a teeth cleaning near me

Maintains good oral health

Regularly coming in for hygiene care helps remove anything that daily brushing and flossing can’t reach. It also helps to stop cavities from forming and makes addressing cavities early on easier.

Prevents gum disease

With regular hygiene visits, we can help maintain the health of your gums and oral health. The earlier you come in, the sooner we can prevent gum disease, minimize gingivitis or treat periodontitis.

Detects problems early

Coming in for a hygiene visit at least once every 6 months will help your care team detect any dental issues early on. This is essential to keep your smile at its best and your treatments and costs at a minimum.

Brightens your teeth

Built-up bacteria, plaque and tartar (calculus) are common causes of bad breath (halitosis) and a yellowing smile. With a professional cleaning, your hygienist clears it all away, leaving your mouth looking its best.

Regular preventative dental cleanings are for many patients.

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.
