Free Whitening

One of the many things that distinguishes MINT dentistry from other practices is that we are the first in the United States to offer free teeth whitening with PPO dental insurance. While it may seem too good to be true, we do mean free. If you have PPO dental insurance, our practice will make you complimentary custom dental trays and provide you with a supply of professional whitening gel. When worn daily for 3 – 4 hours, it can brighten your teeth up to seven shades in 4 – 5 days. To keep up your newly brightened smile, our team will send you home with whitening gel refills after each visit at our Joliet, IL dental practice and replace your mouth trays when the old ones are lost or worn out.

How Often Should I Get My Teeth Cleaned?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that everyone should visit the dentist to receive an in-depth dental cleaning at least twice a year. A prophylactic cleaning helps to prevent cavities because plaque that has built up on the enamel, which is the main cause of decay, is removed. A cleaning will also address stains and tartar accumulation on your teeth that make your smile appear dull. If you’d like to improve the look of your smile, freshen your breath, and boost your overall health, make an appointment for a cleaning for yourself and every member of your family at our Joliet, IL MINT dentistry practice.

What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?

Your cleaning appointment begins with you getting settled comfortably into one of our luxurious massaging treatment chairs. We'll provide you with a pair of our stylish MINT sunglasses to shield your eyes as an experienced member of our dentistry team will start by removing tartar and plaque deposits that have accumulated on your teeth. Cutting-edge dental equipment and modern techniques are used to remove plaque and tartar accumulation without harming the tooth or causing you any distress. First, an ultrasonic device that emits a water mist and high-speed vibrations will be employed to gently soften debris. Then, a handscaling instrument, like a curette or scaler, will be used to address smaller pieces of buildup. Every tooth will be individually treated for ideal cleanliness. As soon as your teeth are clean, the enamel can be polished to remove surface stains and brighten up your teeth. If needed or requested, a professional fluoride treatment can be done following the cleaning process.

Throughout your treatment, our team will work to ensure you remain comfortable. With massage chairs, Beats headphones, and advanced equipment, we create such a posh experience you'll probably forget you are at the dentist! Our stylish Joliet, IL dental facility was designed with our patients' wants in mind, creating a modern, upscale atmosphere for your best experience during every appointment to MINT dentistry.

After Your Dental Cleaning

Unless you have oral health needs that require you to have your teeth cleaned more often, it is recommended that dental cleanings be done twice a year. During your cleaning at MINT dentistry in Joliet, IL we can help you create a better at-home oral care routine by demonstrating the proper technique for brushing and flossing or recommending products that can address your specific needs. A team member will also go over the instructions on how to use your whitening system, so your teeth can be gorgeous and fabulous. Another appointment might be scheduled if a treatment is recommended for a pressing issue. If there are no problems, we suggest that you schedule cleanings every six months.

The MINT Commitment

Most dental insurance policies will cover biannual teeth cleanings because they are considered preventative procedures. We will contact your insurance company to understand your specific coverage before we calculate any out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have insurance, please ask a member of our team for more information on the MINT Discount Plan. Our discount plan will give you PPO dental pricing on every procedure, and we do not charge you for digital x-rays or your annual exam. We are dedicated to helping all our patients get an upscale smile they can be proud of. We work diligently to help Joliet, IL patients of all ages and life circumstances afford the dental care they deserve. Contact our office to learn more about how we can help you and your family.
