Wellington Dental Clinic

$99 Teeth Cleaning for New Patient

If you're searching for teeth cleaning near me in Guelph, Wellington Dental Clinic makes it easy to get started. Our new patient offer includes a full professional cleaning, exam, and X-rays for just $99 — designed specifically for first-time clients who want a straightforward way to establish care with a local dental team.

Regular dental cleaning is one of the simplest things you can do for your long-term oral health. It clears away the plaque and bacteria that lead to cavities and gum disease, and it gives our team a chance to catch small issues before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.

What's Included in Your $99 New Patient Cleaning

Our new patient special is built to give you a complete picture of your oral health from day one, not just a quick polish. For $99, you'll receive:

A full set of X-rays

A comprehensive exam with the dentist

5–10 intraoral photos

An iTero digital scan

This is one of the most thorough dental cleaning near me offers available in Guelph, and it's intentionally priced this way to make it easy for new patients to get in the door and start a relationship with our practice.

Why Plaque Removal Matters

Plaque removal is the core of every cleaning we do. Left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar, which can't be brushed away and contributes to cavities, bad breath, and gum inflammation. Routine cleanings keep plaque from building up to that point, protecting both your teeth and gums over time.

What a Deep Cleaning Teeth Cost Looks Like

Not every patient needs the same level of care. If you're asking about deep cleaning teeth cost, know that this typically applies to patients with heavier tartar buildup or early gum disease, and it's assessed separately from a standard cleaning. During your visit, we'll let you know if a deeper cleaning is recommended and walk you through what that involves before any treatment begins.

Personalized Care for Every Patient

While a cleaning twice a year is the standard recommendation, some patients need more frequent visits. This includes people with:

  • Persistent plaque or tartar buildup
  • Gum conditions that benefit from deeper cleanings
  • Children on certain medications that affect oral health

At Wellington Dental Clinic, we tailor your cleaning schedule to your specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your visit to our Guelph clinic.

How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or rapid plaque buildup, your hygienist may recommend visits every 3 to 4 months to keep your oral health on track.

Will a professional dental cleaning hurt?

For most patients, dental cleanings are completely painless. If you have sensitive teeth or inflamed gums, our hygienists use gentle techniques and topical numbing gels to ensure your appointment is comfortable.

What is the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning?

A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on removing plaque and stain above the gumline for healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) cleans below the gumline to treat active gum disease and prevent bone loss.

How long does a routine dental cleaning appointment take?

A standard hygiene visit usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. This includes a full cleaning, plaque removal, tooth polishing, and a thorough oral examination by our dentist.

Can a dental cleaning remove stains from my teeth?

Yes! Professional cleaning removes superficial stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and food. While it won't change your natural tooth shade like professional whitening, your teeth will feel noticeably smoother and look brighter.

Why do my gums bleed during or after a cleaning?

Bleeding gums often indicate mild inflammation or gingivitis caused by trapped plaque and bacteria. As you maintain regular cleanings and good home care, the inflammation subsides and bleeding stops.

Is a dental cleaning safe during pregnancy?

Yes, dental cleanings are safe and strongly recommended during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can increase your risk of "pregnancy gingivitis," making regular preventive care especially important for both mother and baby.

What should I do after my dental cleaning session?

You can resume normal activities immediately! If your teeth feel slightly sensitive or your gums feel tender, avoid extremely hot or cold foods for a few hours and continue brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Does dental insurance cover professional cleanings?

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive cleanings 100% or up to a standard percentage twice per year. Our team directly bills your provider and helps you maximize your benefits.

Why is dental cleaning necessary if I brush and floss daily?

Even with excellent home habits, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) over time in hard-to-reach areas. Tartar cannot be removed with a regular toothbrush and requires professional dental instruments to remove safely.
