Overview
Our professional teeth cleanings at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry are performed by our experienced registered dental hygienist. We firmly believe that dental cleanings are the basis of sound oral health. Our wonderful dental hygienists in our offices in Houston or The Woodlands, TX are gentle, caring, and eager to help patients obtain optimal oral health. The TCCD hygienists attend multiple hours of continuing education each year and stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and procedures. We recommend that patients receive cleanings at least every 6 months to monitor tooth decay and keep the mouth clean and healthy.
Treatment
A dental cleaning is usually done before a dental exam. During the dental cleaning, the hygienist removes any tartar or plaque buildup from the teeth with professional instruments. Next, the teeth are cleaned and polished to remove stains and brighten the enamel. A dental cleaning is usually performed without anesthesia, but patients with concerns, like a strong gag reflex or anxieties, may talk to their dentist about adding a form of sedation. Then, our dentist will check for any signs of decay, cavities, or other dental problems.
Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
I brought my daughter to Dr. Lewis's office because she had some staining and bonding issues from previous dental work which she was highly sensitive about, and felt like her smile was ugly. She has always hated the dentist, but after her experience at this office, she will be a forever patient. After her cleaning with Leigh, who made her feel beautiful, her faith in dentistry was restored. This office and their staff was amazing and I can't recommend them more. It was worth the almost two hour drive! If you have a child that has had bad dental experiences I would not hesitate to make an appointment!

On Tuesday, July 6, 2021 I went into Dr. Guy Lewis' office for my regularly scheduled 6-month teeth cleaning. What a great Dental Hygienist: Lee Cook was so great! Thank you Lee! Here is why she is so great: as she worked on my teeth cleaning she was explaining to me each step of the process, what to expect. (of course I could not talk or respond...while she was cleaning my teeth). The process was a 3 step process and was never painful,. She was very professional and was educating me while cleaning my teeth on the proper method for brushing my teeth to preserve healthy gums, how not to brush too hard, and how to use the electric toothbrush (that I bought at Dr. Guy Lewis office on my last visit), carefully to prevent damaging my teeth - it all seemed basic but when she said that brushing my teeth after each meal is like soaking the dishes so that the crud comes off more easily later on...this was a really good analogy IMHO. :-) I told Lee that the take aways from my appointment with her was the best I have ever had during a routine teeth cleaning. In closing, she also said something that I will never forget. She said, "Only floss the teeth that you want to keep!". No that makes sense and I will forever remember it and practice her guidance. Lee is the best!!
First visit with Dr Lewis and first time having my teeth professionally whitened. My experience from beginning to end was 5 star. Dr Lewis has a warm bed side manner and his staff are very accommodating to making you feel comfortable especially for folks that don’t necessarily enjoy going to the dentist. Going in for my first teeth whitening experience was exciting. I would go ready to sit for a while. My suggestion, bring some ear buds to distract you. I had my phone handy and the time flew by. When my teeth were complete I was beyond pleased with my results. My teeth have never been whiter!! I was truly amazed that my teeth were not more sensitive during and after the process. I am not sure if it was all the prep work that was done prior to putting the bleach on but I was pain and sensitivity free. Highly recommend going to visit Dr Lewis and his staff you will walk out with a smile on your face.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often?
Most patients should schedule a dental cleaning twice a year or about every 6 months. However, patients with excessive tartar and plaque buildup should talk to their dentist about more frequent cleanings.
Fluoride Treatments?
Some patients who are at higher risk for tooth decay may receive fluoride treatments as part of their dental cleaning. Fluoride treatments are a quick preventative measure that can help patients, especially young children, avoid future cavities.
Special Care After Cleanings?
After a dental cleaning, dentists recommended that patients abstain from eating or drinking for up to an hour. Following this, there are no special instructions, but patients should follow a healthy dental regimen of daily brushing and flossing combined with regular dental exams and cleanings at the dentist.
Clean and Healthy
Regular dental cleanings will help to prevent damage to the teeth and keep your smile beautiful. We also help patients improve the health and look of their smile by educating patients on their best oral hygiene practices and how to prevent further damage. Call and schedule your appointment today.
