About this service
Your cleaning is performed by a registered dental hygienist, who assesses your gums, charts pocket depths, and screens for changes since your last visit. Dr. Younesi examines your mouth and makes the diagnosis, looking for decay, periodontal disease, signs of clenching or grinding, and any soft tissue changes worth a closer look. If you are new to the practice, Dr. Younesi examines you first and you see the hygienist afterward, so your first cleaning is planned around what she finds. Most of our patients return every three to four months. Cleanings combine ultrasonic scaling, hand instrumentation, and a polish, finished with at-home care recommendations built around your own risk.
Cleanings & Preventive Care is one of the preventive services we provide at our Corona Del Mar dental practice, close to home for patients in Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Balboa Island, Costa Mesa, and Irvine. 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.
