What happens during a dental cleaning at Aspen Dental?

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.

Can dental cleanings help with bad breath?

Yes, dental cleanings can help. Built-up bacteria, plaque and tartar (calculus) are common causes of bad breath (halitosis). With a preventative dental cleaning, your hygienist clears it all away, leaving your mouth feeling and smelling fresh.

One of the best experiences from a dental company. I called to setup an appointment and was told it wouldn't happen until a week later at the Midland location. I told them I couldn't wait that long and thanked them for their time, but I was asked to hang on the line for them to check at other locations, to see if there were any earlierappointments. The operator came back and said they had a same day appointment but it was in Odessa in 50 minutes. I jumped on it. We got there at 10:25 AM and was greeted immediately. Receptionist was friendly and helped me get setup as a new patient. While I was still working on the tablet, inputting my info, I was called back to start the process of getting the x-rays. That associate was just as friendly and efficient. Once she was finished she asked me to have a seat and I would be called back shortly. It didn't take long at all, 7 minutes or less, before I was called back. I was seated in the dental chair while the associate asked questions, explained what was going to happen and then I waited a little bit longer and the dentist walked in. He told me what he saw when he looked at the x-rays and what I needed. He was friendly, kind, and patient with me and my spouse, asking questions. He said the hygienist would be in to evaluate my teeth and gums and then go for a cleaning. She was quick and efficient and I was onto the next step, cleaning. Painless and not messy. Water wasn't being sprayed all over my face (like I had happen at another place). The cleaning was a good experience, to say the least. The last stop was getting my minor cavity taken care by the dentist. Again, quick & painless. I really appreciate them getting me in the same day. The staff, Sidney, especially and the dentist, Dr. Patton are top notch and I would recommend them to everyone! Even my husband has jumped on the bandwagon and made an appointment for next month!

Very welcoming! Love the people, always takes care of me!!!

Dr.Patton and Sidney as well as the hygienist I apologize for missing her name have made going to the dentist a comfortable experience for me. They are all very polite here and answered any questions and concerns I had. They have excellent communication and customer care. Excited to get my smile back in shape with Aspen Dental.

Explore answers to common questions so you know what to expect—before, during and after a hygiene visit at your Aspen Dental in Odessa.

Regular preventative dental cleanings are for many patients. They are: recommended at least every 6 months, also known as preventative hygiene services or prophylaxis, designed to remove daily buildup, such as plaque, tartar and stains above the gum line. Deep cleanings are for patients showing advanced signs of periodontitis. They are: recommended based on your level of periodontitis, also known as scaling and root planing, and periodontal treatment and designed to remove build up and bacteria below the gum line to prevent the spread of infection further. When you come in for a checkup, your Aspen Dental dentist will guide you on which option is right for you based on your exam.

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.
