Welcome to Lone Star Smiles in Lubbock, Texas, where we believe preventative dental care is the cornerstone of good dentistry. Dr. Cole Sutak and the team equip you with all the necessary tools to keep your oral health in a constant state of optimal health. Among our numerous general dentistry services, we also offer regular dental cleanings to nurture and preserve excellent dental health. 

Why are dental cleanings important?

According to the American Dental Association, your teeth should be cleaned professionally at least twice a year. However, you should increase this frequency to three to four times annually if you are at risk of cavities, gum disease, and other issues.

Visiting your dentist regularly isn’t just for ticking a box. This good habit yields numerous benefits for your oral and overall health, including:

•  Prevention: Though you clean your teeth daily, reaching every corner of the mouth is nearly impossible. Missed spots in the mouth encourage dental calculus formation, setting up your smile to a host of problems. Routine dental cleanings are instrumental in preventing cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and other oral issues
• Detecting issues: Before a dental cleaning, our dentist comprehensively inspects your mouth for signs of cavities, gum infection, and other problems. This way, we diagnose and address problems before they damage your healthy teeth and gums
• Preparing for other procedures: Do you want professional teeth whitening? Or perhaps you want veneers to transform your smile? Your dentist will likely recommend a dental cleaning before these procedures to ensure your beautiful smile is secured on a healthy foundation
• Cost-effective: You may be familiar with the adage that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. This is so true, especially when it comes to dentistry. A simple dental cleaning prevents cavities, gum disease, and other issues that can be costly and time-consuming to resolve. Dental cleanings cost only a few bucks but can save you thousands of dollars in the long run
• Fresh breath: Waking up with a tinge of bad breath in the morning is normal, but fighting bad breath all day long is a sign of a serious problem. Dental cleanings eliminate odor-causing bacteria and built-in tartar to enliven your breath with enduring freshness
