Dental Cleanings
Regularly scheduled professional cleanings are critical to maintaining a healthy mouth and beautiful smile. During your cleaning appointment, the hygienist will examine your mouth and perform the following procedures:
- Remove plaque: Tooth decay (cavities) is caused by the buildup of plaque which is a sticky film containing bacteria that attack tooth enamel. The bacteria also produce toxins that inflame the gums, leading to periodontal disease. Preventative cleanings reduce your risk of developing cavities and periodontal disease.
- Remove tartar: Plaque left on teeth over time hardens and becomes calculus (tartar). It can only be removed with dental tools. Tartar builds up from the top - down pushing the gum tissue away from the tooth over time. This can cause gums to bleed, leading to periodontal disease and bone loss.
- Polish teeth: This final step removes minor stains and any remaining plaque, making teeth their whitest and brightest!
For most people, IQ Dental Group recommends a professional cleaning every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.
Dr. Shi and his staff is very friendly. I came in for teeth whitening and the results are amazing! I have received many compliments about my teeth. The experience was comfortable and pleasant. The office staff is helpful and the facility is very clean (which is really important to me). I highly recommend IQ Dental if you're looking for a great dentist and office.

I would give this office a 10 stars if possible! This is the BEST dentist I have been to. Dr. Shi is VERY knowledgeable and professional. He was able to turn a terrible experience from a previous dental office into a great one. I send my entire family here! No need to look any further IQ dental is the best around!
