What Is A Dental Cleaning?
Keeping your smile in its best shape goes beyond just brushing and flossing. Even with excellent home care, a professional dental cleaning plays an essential role in maintaining oral health. The cleaning process removes hidden plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Using specialized tools, our team cleans hard-to-reach areas and polishes the enamel to give your smile a fresh, polished look. Reach out to our San Antonio, TX practice to schedule a consultation with our dental cleaning team.
How Does A Dental Cleaning Work?
A dental cleaning focuses on removing harmful buildup and strengthening teeth. The process begins with plaque and tartar removal using ultrasonic vibrations, a fine mist of water, and precision tools to clear large and small deposits. Next, handheld scalers target any remaining buildup in tight spots to ensure thorough cleaning and healthier gums. Once tartar is removed, our team will use polishing tools to smooth and brighten the enamel, making it harder for future plaque to stick to these surfaces. For added protection, a quick fluoride treatment may follow, strengthening tooth enamel and creating a barrier against cavities and decay.
What Are the Benefits of A Dental Cleaning?
Regular dental cleanings offer numerous benefits that go beyond just a bright smile. These advantages help safeguard your overall oral health and protect your mouth from common dental issues. A routine teeth cleaning comes with the following perks:
- Enhanced cavity prevention
- Gum disease prevention
- Freshened breath
- Stronger enamel
- Brightened smile
- Oral health awareness
5 Star Dental Group Reviews
The name of this dental practice is no accident. They are FIVE STARS!!! My story is a long one, but the short version is that following a very recent move from East Texas to San Antonio, I broke a chunk off of my all-on-four on a Sunday afternoon, creating an extremely sharp edge. (This isn't the first time this happened with this appliance, and my former dentist was just as frustrated as I at the situation.) After an anxious conversation with my previous dentist, my husband and I decided that perhaps the "big city" might provide us with more options for care. We found 5 Star Dental Group online and requested an appointment via the link on the page. I briefly described the situation, and hoped for a return call at some point. I got that call about 8:15 Monday morning, (Excellent response time!) and was scheduled for an appointment at 11:30 the same day. (Excellent attention to a very painful emergency problem.) We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, modern, friendly, and very professional office. The front office staff are sweet, and cheerful, yet professional and VERY competent. We were also able to complete all the required forms at home, and bring them with us, saving time at the office. I was in the dental chair almost immediately, and Dr. Tostado and his dental assistant had my broken all-on-four sanded down to a comfortable level within minutes. He determined that the previous lab used an acrylic for my permanent all-on-four, adding that this material is typically use for a temporary. (No wonder it kept breaking every six months!) We discussed what could be done going forward. After x-rays, he developed a treatment plan which will require a complete replacement of my all-on-four. (Interestingly, the x-rays revealed that the positioning and angle on one of my implants, coupled with the length of the all-on-four on that side, and the materials used to manufacture it create a perfect failure storm.) Dr. Tostado identified the problems, and offered at least two options for a solution.Heretofore, my life has been a constant merry-go-round of breakage and replacement every six months. I feel blessed to be in Dr. Tostado's care and look forward to a long association with the practice for my continued regular dental care. My husband was so impressed, that he set up an appointment for his routine cleaning and care as well. This is a rare practice that excels at making you feel like one of the family. You can look around but you won’t find a better practice for all your dental needs. Too bad I can only give them 5 Stars!
The best! 100% recommend
Always the best professional care!
Great people! Great Service!
I had a fantastic experience at 5 Star Dental! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Dental hygienist Vickie was thorough and gentle, making the cleaning process a breeze. Dr. Karina Acuna provided exceptional care, taking the time to explain everything and making sure I was comfortable throughout. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for top-notch dental care. Thank you, 5 Star Dental team!
