If You're Here, It's Probably Because...

What Is a Professional Teeth Cleaning?

A professional teeth cleaning — also called a dental prophylaxis — is a routine but essential procedure performed by a licensed dental hygienist. Unlike brushing and flossing at home, a professional cleaning reaches the buildup, plaque, and tartar that your toothbrush simply can’t remove on its own.

At Smile Lab Dentistry in Union Square, every cleaning includes a thorough examination by Dr. Waise Ebrahimi and his team to make sure your mouth is healthy from top to bottom. It’s not just about clean teeth — it’s about catching small problems before they become big, expensive ones.

If your hygienist detects signs of gum disease during your visit, they may recommend a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) — a more intensive treatment that targets bacteria beneath the gumline.

What You'll Get With a Teeth Cleaning at Smile Lab Dentistry

This isn’t your average in-and-out cleaning. Here’s what makes Smile Lab different.

A genuinely comfortable experience

We know most people don't look forward to the dentist. That's exactly why we've built an environment that feels nothing like a typical dental office. Think Netflix on the ceiling, sunglasses to block the light, and a team that actually takes the time to make you feel at ease — not just get through the appointment.

Thorough cleaning that goes beyond the surface

Our experienced hygienists don't just polish — they remove hardened tartar buildup, tackle stubborn staining, and clean areas that everyday brushing misses entirely. Patients consistently leave saying their mouths have never felt cleaner.

Such a great experience! The staff is friendly, kind, and super knowledgeable. I look forward to coming back to get my cleaning each time! I also love the added touches of sunglasses and the TV on the ceiling to relax during your cleaning.

The team Smile Lab has an exceptional, compassionate, diligent approach in treating patients with one’s various dental needs. After being quite overdue for my cleaning, I am beyond grateful with how clean my mouth feels! The hygienist Marina was so kind and welcoming, with such talent and care, going above and beyond to tackle some of the longstanding staining I have due to some enamel issues. Additionally, Dr. Ana was very pleasant and took the time to answer any of my questions regarding my dental needs, including some wisdom teeth that haven’t been as wise as I would’ve hoped. Overall, many thanks to the Smile Lab team. I am so thankful to have discovered this gem of dental offices just in time for the holidays. All my best!

I’ve been coming in to Smile Lab for over 2 years. Definitely had great experience every visit. The office is modern, sleek, and patient-centric. You can even watch Netflix lying down while you’re having procedures done. I started my journey here getting dental cleaning with Raymond and general consulting with Dr. Ebrahimi, then as my teeth need more attention on cavity, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants… I received care from more doctors and staff here. Dr. Basseri and Dr. Lewis are amazing, so are Jiovanni, Luis and Sam. They are very professional and friendly. They make dental visits rather enjoyable than scary.

I had a very lovely experience at Smile Labs today, went in for cleaning and it was absolutely amazing. My hygienist was very gentle and was very helpful to give me a few pointers as well. Also Arnaldo was very helpful in explaining my future treatment plans!! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Common Questions About Teeth Cleaning in Manhattan

How long does a teeth cleaning take at the dentist?

A standard professional teeth cleaning at Smile Lab Dentistry typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour, including your examination with Dr. Ebrahimi. If it has been a while since your last cleaning or there is significant buildup present, your appointment may run a little longer to ensure everything is thoroughly addressed.

Most dental professionals recommend a professional teeth cleaning every six months. However, patients with a history of gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or other specific oral health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits — every three to four months. Dr. Ebrahimi will assess your individual needs and recommend a schedule that’s right for you.

The cost of a professional teeth cleaning in Manhattan without insurance typically ranges from $100 to $300 depending on the practice and the extent of the cleaning required. At Smile Lab Dentistry, we offer transparent pricing and a range of flexible payment options to make sure cost is never a barrier to good oral health. Call us at 332-237-6453 to discuss your options before booking.

In most cases you can eat immediately after a standard teeth cleaning. However, if a fluoride treatment was applied during your visit, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the fluoride to fully absorb. Your hygienist will give you specific aftercare instructions tailored to your appointment before you leave.

A regular teeth cleaning — also known as a prophylaxis — is a routine preventive procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline. A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is a more intensive treatment recommended when gum disease is present, targeting bacteria and buildup beneath the gumline and along the tooth roots. If your hygienist detects signs of gum disease during your cleaning, they may recommend a deep cleaning as the appropriate next step. [Learn more about deep cleaning at Smile Lab here.]
