Preventive Care That Keeps Your Smile Healthy
Routine dental cleanings are the cornerstone of good oral health. At Aesthetic Smiles, we provide thorough, comfortable teeth cleaning services that go beyond what you can achieve at home. Led by Dr. Wade Pilling and Dr. Jordan Pilling, our team delivers exceptional care to patients throughout Meridian, Eagle, West Boise, Kuna, and the greater Treasure Valley. Whether it’s your first visit or a scheduled six-month checkup, our professional cleanings are designed to protect your teeth, maintain gum health, and prevent costly dental issues in the future.
Why Are Dental Cleanings Important?
Professional dental cleanings & exams remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t eliminate. Even if you’re diligent about home care, routine cleanings reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and oral infections.
Key benefits include:
- Removal of plaque, tartar, and surface stains
- Early detection of decay, gum issues, and other conditions
- Fresher breath and a cleaner smile
- Personalized oral hygiene recommendations
- Reduced risk of tooth loss and systemic health complications
Consistent cleanings help us catch small issues before they turn into major problems—saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Cleaning Appointment
Our dental hygienists create a relaxing experience while delivering highly effective cleanings. Here’s what a typical visit includes:
- Review of your medical and dental history
- Digital X-rays (if needed) for diagnostic accuracy
- Gentle removal of plaque and tartar using professional tools
- Polishing and flossing for a smooth, refreshed finish
- Fluoride treatment (optional) for added enamel protection
- Comprehensive dental exam performed by Dr. Wade or Dr. Jordan Pilling
We tailor each visit to your comfort level and unique dental needs. If you have anxiety or sensitive teeth, let us know—our team is here to help you feel at ease.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, but some may require more frequent visits depending on their oral health. Patients with periodontal concerns, chronic conditions, or high cavity risk may need visits every 3–4 months.
During your dental exams, we’ll recommend the best cleaning schedule for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental cleanings covered by insurance?
Yes, most insurance plans cover preventive dental cleanings & exams every six months. Our office can help you verify your benefits and maximize your coverage.
Do cleanings hurt?
No. Cleanings should not be painful. You may feel some pressure or mild sensitivity, especially if it’s been a while since your last visit, but our hygienists are trained to keep you comfortable throughout.
What’s the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A standard cleaning focuses on the surfaces above the gumline. A deep cleaning (also known as scaling and root planing) is required when gum disease is present and targets bacteria below the gumline.
How long does a cleaning take?
Most cleanings take 45 to 60 minutes. If it’s your first visit or you need X-rays, plan for slightly more time.
Can I combine a cleaning with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients schedule additional services—such as teeth whitening or dental fillings — on the same day for convenience.
