Dental Cleanings & Exams in Rittenhouse Square
This is Heading
Routine Care That Feels Anything But Routine
At Philly Smiles, your cleaning appointment isn’t just another item on your checklist — it’s a chance to maintain your health, protect your smile, and reconnect with a team that truly knows you.
We’ve been helping patients across Rittenhouse Square and Center City feel more at ease at the dentist for over 30 years. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, our approach to cleanings and exams is focused on comfort, education, and long-term oral wellness.
Why Regular Dental Visits Matter
Even if your teeth feel fine, routine dental cleanings and exams are essential to staying ahead of issues like:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Gum inflammation or recession
- Early cavities or tooth wear
- Cracked or failing restorations
- Signs of infection or oral cancer
We recommend cleanings and checkups every 6 months — or more frequently if you’re managing gum disease or other conditions.
Need help catching up? No pressure. We’re here when you’re ready.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Every visit is personalized and pressure-free. Here’s what a typical appointment includes:
- A gentle, thorough dental cleaning from one of our skilled hygienists
- Digital X-rays (as needed) to check for decay or bone loss
- A comprehensive dental exam by your doctor
- Screening for gum disease, bite issues, and oral cancer
- Time for questions, concerns, and collaborative care planning
We also review your at-home habits and give you realistic tips — not lectures.
A Better Kind of Dental Visit
Philly Smiles patients often tell us they’re surprised at how comfortable they feel here. That’s no accident.
We create a calm, judgment-free environment that allows you to:
- Take your time
- Ask questions freely
- Be an active part of your care
- Leave feeling confident, not overwhelmed
If you’ve ever had a negative dental experience, let us show you how different it can feel when the focus is truly on you.
“It was my first time at Philly Smiles and I felt cared for the moment I walked in. The hygienist was amazing and Dr. Roberts explained everything clearly. I’ve never left a dental visit feeling this good.” — Google Review
Care for Every Stage of Life
Our patients include working professionals, retirees, and multi-generational families — many of whom have been with us for decades.
We tailor every visit based on:
- Your oral health history
- Your comfort level and preferences
- Your long-term goals and lifestyle
Because we believe that good dentistry isn’t just about teeth — it’s about relationships.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Every 6 months is standard for most patients, but some may benefit from more frequent cleanings — especially if you’ve had gum issues or buildup in the past.
Are dental cleanings painful?
Not here. Our hygienists use a gentle touch and advanced tools to ensure a comfortable experience. We’ll always check in and adjust care based on your sensitivity or preferences.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
You’re not alone, and you won’t be judged. We’ll take it one step at a time, explain everything clearly, and create a plan that works for you.
Will I see the same doctor every time?
Yes — one of the benefits of being a privately owned practice is continuity of care. You’ll build a relationship with the same trusted team visit after visit.
