Your appointment, start to finish
A cleaning clears the buildup your toothbrush cannot reach, and the exam that comes with it is where small issues get caught while they are still small.
1. Check-in
A quick update on your health and any changes since last time. Tell us about anything that has been bothering you.
2. X-rays, if due
They show what the eye cannot, like decay between teeth. Not every visit needs them.
3. Cleaning
Plaque and hardened tartar come off, stains are polished away, and your teeth finish smooth.
4. Exam
Dr. Ahmad checks your teeth, gums, and bite, and shows you anything he finds.
5. Next steps
You leave knowing what, if anything, needs treatment and when to come back.
Routine cleaning or something deeper?
Routine cleaning
For healthy gums. Removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains above the gumline.
Deeper cleaning
For gums showing signs of disease. Cleans below the gumline where bacteria collect.
Not sure which you need? Your exam answers that, and we explain it before anything is done.
Why regular cleanings matter
Catch problems early
Small cavities and early gum disease are easier and cheaper to treat when found early.
Protect your gums
Tartar can only be removed by a dental professional, and it can lead to gum disease if it builds up.
A fresher, brighter smile
Cleanings remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth.
Dental cleaning costs and insurance in Corpus Christi
We accept most PPO insurances, Medicaid, MCNA Children’s Medicaid, and Medicare, and many plans cover routine cleanings. No insurance? New patients paying cash can start with an exam and X-rays for $69.
Dental cleaning questions, answered
How often should I get a cleaning?
Most people do well with a cleaning and exam about every six months. Your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your gum health and history.
Does a cleaning hurt?
Most people are comfortable. Tell us if you are sensitive or nervous and we will adjust, and you can ask about laughing gas.
Do you clean children’s teeth?
Yes. Our waiting room has a kids’ play area and our team takes extra care to help children feel comfortable.
What if I have gum disease?
We will explain what we see and recommend the right treatment, which may be more than a routine cleaning.
