All Dental Cleanings Are Not Alike

At the NYC Smile Spa, we believe your preventive hygiene appointment is one of the most important services that we provide.  The amount of time spent and the thoroughness of these procedures are quite variable from office to office.  We give our hygienist a full hour to ensure a customized and thorough result with each patient.

Most of the cleaning is done gently with fine hand instruments as opposed to an ultrasonic scaler which often causes sensitivity and can miss many surfaces of your teeth, especially if your teeth are not perfectly aligned.  In addition, an oral cancer screening is performed at each visit with any suspicious areas noted for follow up.  The integrity of your existing fillings and restorations are checked so any potential problems can be caught early and resolved more easily and with less expense. Time should also be spent reviewing your homecare so that you can help prevent future issues as well.

Many fully in network insurance based practices are forced to only give their hygienists 30-45 minutes due to lower reimbursement levels. This does not allow the hygienist to have enough time to fully provide the services listed above. Unfortunately, it’s like the way many physicians have to rush you in and out without taking the time to properly answer questions and concerns. Insurance companies do NOT care about the quality of care!

With our hygiene visits, you will always leave with the cleanest, freshest smile. Our thorough exam will save you time, aggravation and money by preventing future problems.
