Watch this video to learn more about our deep cleanings and in what situations they would be ideal.
If you’re coming in every six months, you’re flossing, you’re brushing, then routine cleanings are probably what you need. Every six months, you come on in and we take the plaque and tartar off your teeth that develops naturally. If we still see a problem, now we get into this deep cleaning area. And at that point, we’re going to measure the gums or we’ll see—how deep are the gums?
We’ll take some X-rays, see what’s going on. You’re losing bone, most likely. And if you’re losing the bone, then there’s extra gum tissue there. Because, what’s happening is, the teeth are not all in bone. So, if the top of the tooth is above, you can see it, but underneath, you can’t see everything. Usually a quarter or a third on top is your tooth, and everything else is in bone.
“20+ years later….I went to Dr Zirakian in my 20’s and he replaced multiple childhood silver fillings (a couple deep ones) and gave me a root canal. I unfortunately moved away and see a different dentist now, also needed oral surgery in the meantime and they are all amazed at the perfect work he did, which is still perfect 20+ years later. Great bedside manner, gentle and most importantly – strong and sustainable dentistry.” Sonja S.
“I haven’t been to a dentist in years! And I had to have an emergency visit which is leading me to a surgeon unfortunately. But Dr. Zirakian is awesome! And was able to see me on short notice! Really down to earth and knows what he’s doing! The office is really clean and receptionist Melissa was very helpful and friendly!” Joey B.
”From the office staff to the hygienist to the dentist all are some one I look forward to seeing. Each are friendly, courteous, and informative making the care they all give outstanding. I don’t live in town but they surely make the trip worth while.” Eloise P.
