Dental Cleanings & Checkups in Etobicoke

Professional cleanings, polishing, and check-ups to keep gums healthy and catch problems early. Comfortable preventative care on Finch Ave.

The Cornerstone of Lifelong Oral Health

Even with regular brushing and flossing at home, saliva minerals naturally combine with food particles to form hardened calculus (tartar). Once tartar forms along the gumline, it cannot be removed with a regular toothbrush—it requires gentle professional ultrasonic scaling by a registered dental hygienist.

At Smile Dentistry on Finch, our preventative check-ups include full periodontal charting, low-radiation digital x-rays, thorough scaling, polishing, and oral cancer screenings. Catching small problems early protects you from expensive root canals, gum infections, and unexpected tooth extractions down the road.

1

Ultrasonic Scaling

Ultrasonic instruments remove hardened tartar from above and below the gumline with gentle vibrations and water irrigation, preventing gingivitis.

2

Enamel Polishing

Fine polishing removes external surface stains from coffee and tea while smoothing tooth enamel so plaque cannot easily adhere in the future.

3

Comprehensive Exam

Our dentist inspects every tooth, checks the stability of existing fillings, screens for periodontal pockets, and checks soft tissues for peace of mind.
