Dental Cleanings
in Chattanooga and Rossville

Keep your smile bright and your oral health strong with professional dental cleanings in Chattanooga. Our caring team makes preventive care simple, effective, and comfortable.

Restore and Protect Your Smile’s Health

Routine dental cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. Even with great brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, prevent gum disease, and keep your smile looking its best. When paired with regular exams, cleanings also give us the opportunity to spot early warning signs of cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer—so we can act quickly and effectively.

Fresh, Confident Smile

Cleanings remove surface stains and buildup, leaving your teeth brighter and your breath fresher. You’ll walk out of our office feeling renewed and ready to smile.

Prevent Tooth Decay

By clearing away plaque and tartar, we lower your risk of cavities before they start. Preventive care saves you time, money, and discomfort down the road.

Protect Your Gums

Regular cleanings help prevent gingivitis and gum disease, which are the leading causes of adult tooth loss. Healthy gums mean a healthier foundation for your teeth.

Gentle, Patient-First Care

We know some patients feel anxious about dental visits. Our team takes time to make sure you feel comfortable, explaining each step and moving at your pace.

Advanced Technology

We use digital imaging, ultrasonic scalers, and modern tools for more efficient, precise, and comfortable cleanings.

Personalized Prevention

No two smiles are the same. We tailor your cleaning schedule and home care recommendations to fit your individual needs, risk factors, and lifestyle.

FAQs

Still have questions?

Reach out to our team for personalized assistance.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. If you have gum disease, orthodontic appliances, or higher risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits to protect your oral health.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

Cleanings are typically painless. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, let us know—we can use numbing gel or adjust our techniques to keep you comfortable.

What happens if I skip cleanings?

Skipping cleanings allows plaque and tartar to build up, which can cause gum disease, cavities, and even tooth loss. Over time, untreated dental issues can affect your overall health and may require more complex and costly treatment.

Are dental cleanings covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover preventive services like cleanings twice a year. For patients without insurance, we offer affordable options to make care accessible.

Let me start out by saying I am terrified of the dentist but Sunrise Dental Care in Chattanooga made me feel very calm and relaxed the doctor and the staff took care of me to the uttermost care a person could be taken care of and I am so thankful that I found a dentistry I can call family.

Sunrise Dental Care has been wonderful! The dentists & their staff are meticulous in their work. And, more importantly they are kind & considerate as well as extremely concerned for their patients. I’ve been going to this office for years and I trust them completely with ALL my dental work - so much so that I came back to them for major work when I lived in NC! Plus the staff knows how to work with insurance companies! They truly take a concerted interest in their patients.
