Lifelong Oral Health Starts With Regular Cleanings

egular dental cleanings are one of the easiest ways to protect your smile. At Gallery Dental, we focus on prevention first: catching little issues early, giving you personalized advice, and keeping your routine visits simple and stress-free. Our goal is to help you avoid unnecessary treatment and enjoy strong, healthy teeth for years to come.

Dr. Sekhon and our friendly hygiene team take the time to get to know you and make every visit comfortable. We use modern diagnostic tools, gentle techniques, and a clear, caring approach so you always feel informed and supported.

Your Complete Preventive Care Plan

We offer a full range of preventive services designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Each one plays an important role in protecting your smile.


Professional Dental Cleanings

Our wonderful dental hygienists give you a super thorough cleaning that gets rid of the hard plaque and tartar your toothbrush misses. These regular professional cleanings stop gum disease and tooth decay, helping your smile stay bright. We use gentle tools for a comfortable experience. Coming in every 6 months gives us a chance to catch any issues early, preventing major restorative work down the road!


Comprehensive Dental Examinations

Dr. Sekhon provides thorough evaluations for all new and returning patients. During your comprehensive exam, we check your teeth, existing work, and even concerns like jaw tension (TMJ) and sleep issues. Many patients tell us it’s the most complete dental exam they’ve ever had in Edmonton. You can flag any cosmetic concerns during these examinations as well. Dr. Sekhon always takes time to explain everything clearly, so you can rest assured that your questions will be answered!


Advanced Diagnostic Technology

Gallery Dental uses the latest, most advanced tools to find problems early. Our digital X-rays give us clear pictures of hidden issues with up to 90% less radiation. We can even use special transillumination technology to find tiny cavities before they grow. Finding things early like this means treatments are much smaller and simpler!


Gentle Periodontal (Gum) Health Treatment

Your gums are the foundation of your smile! Our dental hygienists provide specialized care to keep them strong and healthy. We spot early signs of gum disease and treat it with deep cleanings (called scaling and root planing) to stop any irreversible damage. This proactive approach helps you avoid more serious procedures and keeps your gum tissue healthy for the long run.


Custom Protective Appliances

We create personalized appliances to protect your smile from everyday wear and tear. This includes custom-fitted sports guards to shield your teeth during activities, and TMJ splints to relieve jaw pain caused by clenching and grinding. We make sure every appliance is comfortable and fits perfectly, so you’ll actually wear it.

How Often Should You Come in for a Check-Up?

If your teeth and gums are healthy, we recommend a professional dental cleaning and a comprehensive examination every six months. This routine schedule lets us monitor your oral health, remove gunk (plaque and tartar), and find any issues quickly while they’re easy to fix.

You may need to visit us more often for preventive visits if you have:

  • Active gum disease (periodontal disease) that needs ongoing treatment.
  • A history of getting frequent cavities.
  • Orthodontic appliances like braces or clear aligners.
  • Health issues like diabetes or dry mouth that affect your teeth.

Dr. Sekhon will always create a personalized schedule that is best for your unique needs and goals.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Prevention

How long does a dental cleaning appointment take?

A typical professional cleaning and check-up takes about 45 to 60 minutes. If you’re a new patient, we book a little extra time for a thorough look around. We promise we schedule plenty of time, so we never have to rush your care.

Are dental cleanings covered by insurance?

Great news: most dental insurance plans cover preventive care, including two cleanings and check-ups per year, at 100%. Our team is happy to handle the paperwork to maximize your benefits. We also have financing options if you don’t have insurance.

Will my cleaning hurt?

Most patients say they feel absolutely no pain during our professional cleanings. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, our hygienists are trained to be extra gentle and can even use a topical numbing gel if needed. Your comfort is our main concern.

What’s the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?

Regular cleanings keep healthy teeth and gums clean above the gumline. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) are a treatment for gum disease, removing bacteria deep below the gumline and on the tooth roots. Dr. Sekhon will let you know if a deep cleaning is needed.
