Free Whitening
MINT dentistry was the first practice in the United States to offer free teeth whitening for those with PPO dental insurance, which is one of the many ways that MINT dentistry sets itself apart from other dental practices. While it may seem too good to be true, by free, we mean free. Period. If you have PPO dental insurance, we will make you complimentary custom mouth trays and provide you with a supply of professional whitening gel. If applied every day for 3 – 4 hours, it can lighten your teeth as much as seven shades in 4 – 5 days. To refresh your newly brightened smile, our team will send you home with whitening gel refills at each visit to our Newport, KY dental practice and replace your mouth trays when needed.
How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends that everyone should have a professional cleaning twice yearly. A cleaning can prevent cavities because plaque buildup (the leading cause of tooth decay) is addressed. A cleaning also addresses stains and tartar buildup on your enamel, making your smile look darker. To improve the look of your teeth, keep your breath fresh, and keep your teeth and gums healthy, schedule an appointment for a cleaning for your whole family at MINT dentistry in Newport, KY.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
Once you settle into the plush treatment chair equipped with massaging features, your dental cleaning will begin. We'll provide you with a pair of our stylish MINT sunglasses to shield your eyes as a highly qualified member of the MINT team will start by addressing the plaque and tartar that have accumulated on your teeth. Our team uses cutting-edge dental equipment and modern techniques to remove tartar and plaque deposits without harming the tooth or causing you discomfort. An ultrasonic scaler that emits a water mist and high-speed vibrations may be employed to gently clear away more significant plaque and tartar deposits. Then, a detailing tool, such as a scaler or curette, will be used to remove the remaining plaque. Each tooth will be attended to for ideal cleanliness and shine. When your teeth have been cleaned, the enamel can be polished to minimize stains and brighten your teeth. If requested or recommended, a fluoride treatment may be applied following the cleaning process.
Throughout your whole dental cleaning, the MINT dentistry team will work to ensure you remain comfortable and relaxed. From massaging treatment chairs to Beats headphones and advanced dental tools, visits to MINT dentistry are such a fantastic experience you'll probably forget you are at the dentist! Our boutique Newport, KY dental practice was thoughtfully designed with our patients in mind, creating an upscale, modern environment for your best experience during every appointment to MINT dentistry.
