Ultrasonic Dental Cleanings


Our dentists may use an ultrasonic scaler during your dental cleanings. This advanced technology helps Dr. Roberta Ekman and Dr. Paul Dusek provide you with more thorough cleanings to keep your mouth healthy and free from decay, disease, and other problems.

Ultrasonic scalers are used during our cleaning services to provide you with a more comfortable and efficient dental experience. As you eat and drink, plaque and food debris build up on your teeth. If plaque is not removed within 24 hours, it hardens into dental calculus, or tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. At our office, we use ultrasonic scalers to remove the built-up plaque and tartar, keeping your teeth clean and your smile healthy. The ultrasonic scaler is more comfortable and faster than a traditional scaling tool. You may feel some vibrations from the tool, but it is not an uncomfortable process and does not require any numbing anesthetic.

You will likely notice our dentists or hygienist using the ultrasonic scaler during your routine teeth cleanings and periodontal maintenance. Removing the built-up plaque and tartar is important in ensuring that your smile stays free from tooth decay and gum disease. In addition to improving your own experience at our office, the ultrasonic scaler also makes this treatment more comfortable and easier for our hygienist.
