Cleanings & Preventive Care

Thorough, thoughtful hygiene visits paired with a full-mouth assessment to catch issues early.

About this service

Most teeth cleanings are performed by a dental hygienist who begins with a complete physical examination of your entire mouth. We screen for decay, periodontal disease, signs of bruxism, and oral cancer at every visit. Our cleanings combine ultrasonic scaling, hand instrumentation, and a polish, finished with personalized at-home care recommendations.

Cleanings & Preventive Care is one of the preventive services we provide at our Corona Del Mar dental practice. Patients travel from Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Costa Mesa, Balboa Island, and Irvine because Dr. Younesi takes the time to listen, evaluate, and explain every option before treatment begins. Learn more about Dr. Younesi or contact our office with any questions.

Cleanings FAQs

Common questions about cleanings.

Don’t see your question? Call us at (949) 409-9895 and we will get you a clear answer.

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most patients are best served every six months. Patients with periodontal history or higher risk often benefit from a three-to-four-month interval.
Why does my dentist take X-rays?
X-rays reveal decay, bone loss, infections, and pathology that aren’t visible during a clinical exam. We use modern digital sensors that emit a fraction of the radiation of older film systems.
