Teeth Cleaning and Checkup · Manhattan
The foundation of a healthy smile — twice a year, every year.
A professional cleaning and checkup at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry & Smile Design is more than a polish and a probe. Dr. Lazare and Dr. Fay conduct a full clinical assessment at every visit — reviewing your bite, gum health, existing restorations, and any early signs of concern — so small issues are caught and addressed before they become larger ones.

Comprehensive Dental Cleaning & Routine Checkups in Manhattan
Teeth cleaning and checkups help stop dental problems before they start and are a vital part of preventative dental care. Dr. Lazare recommends that each patient schedules a tooth cleaning and checkup every six months.
A bi-yearly New York City dental exam and teeth cleaning is the best way to ensure a beautiful smile year-round. We use sophisticated tools to comfortably clear away plaque and bacteria that build on the teeth and gums and hide in tiny areas that can’t be reached at home, even with daily brushing and flossing. The cleaning process is designed to minimize discomfort and ensure a positive experience for every patient.
Dr. Lazare completes a thorough oral exam and checks for tooth decay, cavities, oral cancer, gum disease, etc. Checkups allow Dr. Lazare to catch any dental issues early and take care of them with quick, easy, and conservative biomimetic tooth-preserving treatments.

Some preventive dental health tips patients should practice at home include:
Brush twice a day and floss at least once daily
Enjoy a healthy, balanced diet
Avoid sugary and acid foods
Drink water in place of acidic and sugary juices
Tooth cleaning and checkup bi-yearly
Dr. Lazare uses biomimetic restoration and dental techniques to treat fractured, weak, and decayed teeth in a way that strengthens them and seals them from the invasion of bacteria. We use the latest dental technology and materials to preserve your teeth.
Who Should Schedule Routine Dental Visits?
Everyone—from young children to older adults—should prioritize regular dental checkups and cleanings. These visits aren't just for when you have a toothache or notice a problem. Preventive care helps avoid future issues and ensures your smile stays healthy and radiant for years to come. Children benefit by establishing strong oral habits early, while adults can prevent decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss through consistent care.
Why Routine Cleanings and Exams Matter
Bi-yearly visits allow your dentist to remove stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t eliminate. This not only helps prevent cavities and gum disease but also allows your dental team to detect early signs of issues like gingivitis or oral cancer. Catching these problems early means less invasive and less costly treatments. It's one of the simplest ways to safeguard your long-term oral health and maintain a confident, beautiful smile.
