Four ways that professional teeth cleanings save you money

Professional teeth cleanings and other preventative dental services are fundamental to protecting the health and beauty of your smile. However, such services are also affordable for numerous reasons, four of which are listed below.

1 – The cleaning is 100% covered by the Manchester Dental In-House Savings Plan.

When searching online for a “dentist near me in Manchester, Georgia,” you may find that other offices exclusively highlight dental insurance and financing. Dr. Abel Aguilar and our team proudly offer an In-House Dental Savings Plan. You may also add more family members at a discount. These plans are a no-strings-attached, no-restrictions, and no-surprises alternative to traditional dental insurance. For an affordable annual membership fee, your cleaning is 100% covered. These plans also cover X-rays, exams, and fluoride therapy as preventive services. Members can also enjoy discounts on additional cleanings if they need or want more than two per year.

2 – Cleanings naturally save you $$$.

Due to the nature of dental cleanings, you keep more money in the bank. Our highly effective yet gentle cleanings protect the teeth and gums from conditions like dental decay and periodontal disease. Services and procedures to treat cavities, more extensive decay, and gum disease are generally more expensive than preventive cleanings. The more extensive or severe the damage, the more costly the treatment may be to restore your smile’s health, appearance, and function.

3 – The money-saving power of early detection.

As mentioned above, more serious cases of oral disease and damage often require more complex and extensive treatments. For instance, consider how the average composite filling is hundreds of dollars less than a dental crown and thousands of dollars less than a dental implant. The composite filling is used to treat smaller cavities, while a crown is used to repair a bigger cavity, fractures, and larger areas of decay. Lastly, the implant may be recommended when a tooth cannot be preserved with some of the other restorations or procedures mentioned here. So, you can see how early detection supports less costly treatment. Damage is detected and treated before it progresses and requires extensive restorative dentistry services. During your cleaning, our hygienists assess the health of your teeth and gums. This appointment typically involves a full exam by Dr. Aguilar, too. As needed, he may order X-rays to accurately diagnose problems with your mouth early, when they are easier and less expensive to treat.

4 – Cleanings are an affordable alternative to professional smile enhancement services.

Dental cleanings not only remove harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar; they also remove stains that accumulate over time on the surfaces of your teeth. The cleaning generally ends with a good polishing, which makes your teeth gleam, too. With routine professional cleanings at the office of Manchester Dental, you continue to enjoy healthy-looking, stain-free teeth. No cosmetic services, like professional teeth whitening or bonding and veneers (to cover up stains), may be required to continue to feel good about the appearance of your smile. Of course, by keeping your teeth healthy with professional dental cleanings and exams, you also support an attractive smile because many oral conditions cause highly visible damage. For example, conditions like chronic teeth grinding may go unnoticed. When this happens, your teeth may become noticeably chipped and even cracked. Treating these problems would require cosmetic care like bonding, veneers, and even crowns (if the damage is severe). With early detection and treatment, the health and cosmetic effects of progressive oral conditions are avoided.
