Dental Cleanings & Exams

You may not realize it, but you have a lot riding on your smile. A good-looking, healthy smile is great for your self-esteem—but your oral health is closely connected to your overall health and can even affect your cardiovascular and respiratory systems. At Sterling Smiles Dental, we offer comprehensive dental cleanings and exams in Sterling, CO designed to improve and maintain your oral health and appearance for the whole family.

Why Regular Dental Cleanings Matter

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar in as little as 24–72 hours. Once tartar forms, only a professional cleaning can remove it. During your visit, our skilled hygienists gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, then polish your teeth for a fresh, clean finish. Routine cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath—and help you avoid more costly treatments down the road.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Every cleaning at our Sterling dental office includes a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, digital X-rays when needed, and an oral cancer screening. We look for early signs of decay, gum disease, and other concerns—catching problems while they're small and easy to treat. We recommend a professional cleaning and exam every six months for most patients, and a more frequent schedule for those with periodontal concerns.
