Preventive Dental Cleaning in Belmont Ave. - Chicago, IL

Want to keep that bright, healthy smile? Regular professional dental cleanings at your local Forever Dental office are essential. Discover how we can help you today.

Teeth cleaning

Regular teeth cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are essential to maintaining good oral health. It is recommended to schedule dental cleanings twice a year to keep your smile healthy and prevent future dental problems.

Here are the key reasons why regular teeth cleanings are important:

Prevents tooth decay

Keep out the cavities! Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay. Learn about tooth decay.

Prevents gum disease

Removing sticky plaque and tartar buildup can also prevent gum inflammation and infection, known as gum or periodontal disease. Learn about gum disease.

Freshens breath

Plaque contains bacteria which can cause bad breath. Removing it will naturally improve the smell.

Brightens teeth

Cleanings can help remove stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and other substances, improving the overall look of your smile. Learn about teeth whitening.

Early detection

Your Forever Dental care team can catch early signs of dental problems during cleanings, such as cavities and gum disease, and prevent them from getting worse. Learn about early detection services.

Saves money

Preventive dental care, like regular cleanings, is more cost-effective than treating advanced dental problems. Explore our dental services costs.

Types of professional teeth cleaning

Explore your options today with your Forever Dental care team.

Healthy mouth cleaning

Your dental hygienist will meticulously clean the surfaces of your teeth and above the gum lines. Using a scaler, they’ll scrape away plaque and tartar buildup to prevent future problems, and gently remove any stubborn stains. A final polish shines and cleans your tooth enamel.

Periodontal cleaning (dental deep cleaning)

Need to stop the progression of gum infection, also known as periodontal disease? A periodontal cleaning (dental deep cleaning) targets bacteria that have extended deep below the gum line. Scaling involves meticulous removal of these deposits from the tooth surfaces and pockets, while root planing focuses on smoothing the root surfaces to facilitate gum reattachment and prevent bacterial growth.

Periodontal maintenance cleaning

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning performed periodically to keep periodontal disease in remission. It’s a great way to keep up with your gum health after your initial periodontal cleaning with your Forever Dental care team.

Dental cleaning cost

The dental cleaning cost at Forever Dental can vary based on location, specific services needed, and individual treatment plans. Typically, a routine dental cleaning starts at $55. Prices may differ depending on your specific needs and any additional treatments the dentist recommends. To get an accurate estimate, contact your nearest Forever Dental office.

Dental cleaning FAQ’s

If you’re new to dental cleanings, or just haven’t had one in a while, here are some commonly asked questions that will give you an idea of what to expect.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

Your Forever Dental hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. They use specialized tools to target areas above and below the gum line. The procedure includes teeth polishing to create a smooth, gleaming surface. Regular dental cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

How long does a dental cleaning take?

The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar buildup, the overall health of your teeth and gums, and whether any additional procedures, like X-rays, are being performed. Regular dental cleanings help maintain optimal oral hygiene and prevent potential dental issues.

Why do you need regular teeth cleanings

Regular teeth cleanings are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems. Professional cleaning effectively removes plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing and flossing may miss. Addressing these buildups can significantly reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

My wife and I recently switched to Forever Dental and are extremely happy with the change. Hugo did a great job with the cleaning/examination and Dr Dhake did a great job running through everything with me. Will definitely be using them from now on.

I had my dental appointment yesterday and it was my first most extensive consultation of my teeth ever. Yes, it's uncomfortable meanwhile interesting to know the condition of my oral health. Dentist Reshma explained thoroughly how concerning the issue I have and the gravity of it. On the other hand, the staffs were doing great in welcoming and accommodating customers. Samantha and the other staff displays their job expertise very well.

I highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Booked appointments for my kids here and had a great experience. The doctor herself came off a little rushed in my opinion, however, was still polite and professional. The rest of the staff was great! Samantha was very warm and did great with my littles. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be making this our family dentistry.

I recently visited Forever Dental for my first appointment at the facility , and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I walked in, the office staff, Yessenia and Karla were welcoming and professional, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free, which immediately put me at ease.
Dr. Dhake and the hygienist, Karla, took the time to explain everything in detail, from the x rays, exam process to the treatment plan. They were gentle, thorough, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I even was offered essential oils -lavender- to help calm my nerves, it helped to relax me and I will use it again next time I visit, I also appreciated how they answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. They were accommodating to my schedule and were able to fit in an X-rays, exam, cleaning and dental work-cavity treatments all in one visit.
This team made the experience of going to the dentist a pleasant one and I feel confident that I’m in great hands here (which hasn’t always been the case at other dentist offices). Now it’s time to make an appointment for my husband, he is long overdue.
If you’re looking for a skilled, caring, and professional dental team, I highly recommend Forever Dental!

After taking my grandsons to their dentist appointments at Forever Dental / Chicago with Dr Alexander Upwards and observing how good and painless the experience was for them I decided to book appointments for my wife and I.
My wife and I agreed that we have never had a more thorough exam. I’m 65 years old and learned quite a bit about my teeth with this young man than from any of the dentist I’ve had over the years.
His touch was painless.
His assistants were just as informative and the desk personnel very pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended.
