the visit that keeps everything else off your plate
Most cavities, gum problems, and cracked teeth start quietly, long before they hurt. A routine Lake Zurich dental cleaning and exam is how we catch those issues while they’re still small and simple to fix, instead of waiting until they become a root canal or a crown.
Your hygienist removes the plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach, above and below the gumline, then polishes away surface stains. Dr. Alma Lombardo follows with a full exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, using low-radiation digital x-rays to see what the naked eye cannot. You leave with a clean mouth and a clear picture of where your oral health stands. At Diamond Dental Service, we see patients in Lake Zurich, IL, at 1289 S Rand Rd. To book, call (847) 847-1816.

what's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
What a routine visit does for you
- Removes hardened tartar that leads to cavities and gum disease
- Spots decay and cracks early, while repairs are small
- Screens your gums for the first signs of gum disease
- Includes an oral cancer check as part of your exam
- Leaves your teeth polished, fresh, and noticeably smoother
how often do I need a dental cleaning?
What that means in practice: if your gums are healthy and your home care is solid, every 6 months is likely fine. If you have a history of gum disease, smoke, or have diabetes, you may need cleanings every three to four months to stay ahead of it. Dr. Lombardo sets your interval at your exam and revisits it as things change.
