Gentle, judgment-free care — we'll explain everything in plain language.

No matter how carefully you brush, hardened tartar needs a professional to clear it away — and that's exactly what we're here for. At Ted M Pinney DDS, our hygienists take their time, listen to your concerns, and never make you feel rushed or judged, whether this is your first visit in a while or a regular check-up. Patients leave our chairs knowing their mouth is clean and exactly what to do to keep it that way.

What to expect.

  1. We start by listening

    Your hygienist takes a moment to review your history and ask about any sensitivity or concerns, so we can shape the cleaning around you.

  2. Clear away plaque and tartar

    We carefully work along the gumline and between teeth to remove the buildup that everyday brushing and flossing just can't reach.

  3. Polish and floss

    A gentle polish leaves your teeth smooth and bright, and we finish with a thorough floss to clear anything left behind.

  4. Simple tips to take home

    We share straightforward, no-judgment pointers matched to your mouth — small habits that make a real difference between visits.

Have questions about Hygiene & Cleaning?

How often do I need a professional cleaning?
For most people, twice a year is the right rhythm. If you tend toward more buildup or have gum concerns, we might suggest coming in a little more frequently — we'll let you know what makes sense for you.
Is a cleaning going to be uncomfortable?
Most cleanings are quite comfortable. If your gums are sensitive, just tell us before we start — we'll go gently and check in with you along the way.
My gums bleed when I floss. Should I be worried?
Bleeding gums usually mean they need more consistent attention, not less. We'll show you exactly what's happening and give you a simple plan to help things improve.
Will my teeth look whiter after the cleaning?
Yes — removing surface stains and buildup makes a noticeable difference, so your smile will look fresher and brighter. If you'd like to go further, ask us about whitening options.
What does a cleaning cost?
Every treatment plan is a little different, so the honest answer is: it depends on your mouth. We check your insurance first, then walk you through a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises. If cost is on your mind, just say so and we'll talk through what options are available to you.
