About Teeth Cleanings in Indianapolis, IN
Biannual cleanings from MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN are a wonderful way to keep your smile bright. Performed using advanced tools, a preventive cleaning (prophylaxis) eliminates built-up plaque, tartar, and stains on your teeth to help create a stunning, healthy smile.

Free Whitening
MINT dentistry was the first practice in the United States to offer free home teeth whitening treatments for patients with PPO dental insurance. While it may seem too good to be true, we mean free. For patients with PPO dental insurance, MINT will make you free custom mouth trays and give you a supply of professional whitening gel. When used daily for several hours, it can whiten your smile up to seven shades in 4 – 5 days. To keep up your whiter smile, our team will send you home with whitening gel refills at your next cleaning appointment at our Indianapolis, IN dental office and make you new dental trays when needed.
How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that everyone should get their teeth professionally cleaned twice a year. A cleaning helps to prevent cavities since the leading cause, plaque buildup, is removed. Dental cleanings also address stains and tartar buildup on your teeth that make your smile look darker. To brighten your teeth, freshen your breath, and keep your teeth and gums healthy, schedule an appointment for a professional cleaning for your whole family at our Indianapolis, IN MINT dentistry practice.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
Your teeth cleaning appointment will begin with you settling into one of our massage treatment chairs. After sliding on a pair of our stylish MINT sunglasses to cover your eyes, a highly qualified member of the MINT team will start by addressing the plaque and tartar deposits that have built up on your enamel. Cutting-edge dental equipment and modern techniques are used at MINT dentistry to eliminate tartar and plaque buildup without damaging the tooth or causing you discomfort. First, an ultrasonic tool that works through a water mist and high-speed vibrations will be employed to gently dislodge larger areas of tartar and plaque. Next, a detailing instrument, like a scaler or curette, will be used to address smaller pieces of tartar and plaque. Each tooth will be attended to for ideal results. When your teeth are clean, the enamel can be carefully polished to diminish surface stains and brighten your smile. If needed or requested, a professional fluoride treatment may be applied once your teeth are clean and polished.
We will strive to ensure you feel fully relaxed throughout your cleaning. From massaging treatment chairs to Beats headphones and state-of-the-art technology, visits to MINT dentistry are such a fantastic experience you'll probably forget you are at the dentist! Our boutique Indianapolis, IN dental practice was thoughtfully designed with you in mind, creating an upscale, modern feeling so you can enjoy the ultimate in comfort when you visit MINT dentistry.
After Your Dental Cleaning
Unless your MINT dentist recommends cleanings more frequently, a professional cleaning should be performed at least twice a year. During your treatment at MINT dentistry in Indianapolis, IN our team will help make sure you have a good at-home oral care routine by demonstrating techniques or recommending products that can address your concerns. A MINT dentistry professional will also provide precise instructions on how to use your whitening system, so your smile can be gorgeous and fabulous. A follow-up visit might be set up if a treatment is recommended for an urgent issue. Otherwise, we suggest that you attend twice-yearly dental cleanings.
The MINT Commitment
