Our dental hygienists do teeth cleaning in London, Ontario, at our family practice on Aldersbrook Road. A cleaning removes the plaque and hard tartar that a toothbrush cannot reach. Left in place, that buildup leads to cavities, gum disease and bad breath.
We see patients from across London, including Hyde Park, Masonville, Westmount, Byron and Sunningdale. We offer routine cleanings, deep cleanings and back-to-back family visits, so the whole household is seen in one trip.
Routine cleanings every six months that remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains while keeping your gums healthy.
Gentle, kid-friendly cleanings designed to make dental visits a calm, positive part of your child's routine.
Scaling and root planing for patients with early-stage gum disease, removing hardened tartar from below the gumline.
Ongoing cleaning care for patients who've had gum disease treatment and need closer attention to stay healthy.
A smooth final polish that lifts surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco for a brighter, cleaner look.
Tartar, sore gums and early decay often cause no pain at first. By the time they hurt, they are harder and more costly to fix. A regular cleaning removes the buildup, and the visit lets us spot problems while they are small.
Removes hardened tartar that brushing and flossing can't reach
Catches early signs of gum disease before they progress and require deeper periodontal care
Reduces your risk of cavities, tooth loss, and costly future restorations
Lifts surface stains for a brighter, fresher-looking smile
Improves bad breath caused by bacteria and tartar buildup
Supports your overall health, since gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions
Whether you come in every six months or after a long gap, a cleaning visit usually follows these steps. To see how the exam fits in, read what happens at a dental checkup.
Your hygienist reviews any changes to your medical history, medications, or oral health concerns since your last visit.
Careful removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline using gentle hand tools and ultrasonic scalers.
A measured look at the depth of your gum pockets to spot inflammation, recession, or early signs of gum disease.
A smooth polish that lifts surface stains, followed by a thorough flossing between every tooth.
Clear feedback on what's working at home, what could improve, and whether you need any follow-up care.
Dr. Rand Luka and Dr. Alyson (Aly) Kohlmeier work alongside our experienced hygienists to make sure every cleaning visit is gentle, thorough, and tailored to you. Whether you're in for your routine six-month cleaning or coming back after years away, you'll be treated with patience and care, with no judgment and no rush.
At Luka Dental Care, we use technology to make your cleaning visit easier, not more complicated. Modern ultrasonic scalers remove tartar faster and more comfortably than traditional hand scaling alone, while our digital X-rays produce sharper, cleaner images with lower radiation. With an in-house lab on site, if your cleaning reveals something that needs attention, like a cavity, a worn filling, or a small chip, we can often handle the restoration the same day. That means fewer appointments, better fits, and more control from start to finish.

Most patients do well with a cleaning every six months, but some people benefit from more frequent visits every three to four months, especially those with a history of gum disease, smokers, or patients with certain health conditions like diabetes. Your hygienist will recommend the right schedule based on the health of your gums and your overall risk.
They are two parts of one visit. Our hygienist cleans your teeth, and then your dentist checks for cavities and gum disease. Our page on the dental exam in London, Ontario explains that part of the visit.
Most cleanings are not painful, just a little uncomfortable in spots where there's tartar buildup or gum inflammation. If you have sensitive teeth or dental anxiety, let us know ahead of time. We can slow the pace, use topical numbing, or switch to gentler tools to keep you comfortable throughout the appointment.
That scraping sound is your hygienist removing tartar, which is calcified plaque that brushing can't break loose. The smoother your teeth feel afterwards, the less surface there is for bacteria to cling to, which helps keep your gums healthier between visits.
Routine polishing lifts most surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Deeper stains that have set into the enamel may need teeth whitening after your cleaning to fully brighten your smile.
It depends on what your teeth and gums need, such as a routine or a deep cleaning, and whether you need X-rays. We tell you the cost before we start and help you check what your plan pays. For more, read what a dental visit costs in Ontario.
You're not alone, and we're not here to judge. Many of our patients come in after long gaps in care. We start by getting a clear picture of where things stand, then build a plan to get your gums and teeth back on track at a pace you're comfortable with. Cleanings work alongside our other general dentistry services, so you can stay on top of everything in one place. Ready to come in? Book your cleaning today.
