What Is an Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning?
Advanced Cleaning Without the Scraping
Ultrasonic dental cleanings use high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria buildup from your teeth and below the gum line. A gentle water stream simultaneously flushes debris away, making the experience faster and less invasive than traditional hand scaling.
