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.

Patient's Testimonials

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.

Teeth Cleaning NYC: Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Have by Teeth Cleaned?

It would help if you had your teeth cleaned and had a checkup completed bi-yearly to prevent and detect any problems before they can become a crisis. Many people think they are saving money by avoiding the dentist, but it costs them much more in the long run.Many dental problems do not have symptoms until they have reached advanced stages. For example, tooth decay is often silent until a cavity gets close to the nerve. The dentist can detect a cavity three to four years before the patient experiences symptoms. Early detection can help you prevent the need for a tooth extraction or a root canal treatment.

Why Should I Floss and Brush My Teeth?

Millions of microscopic germs live off the food particles left on your teeth. The bacteria hiding in the tiny spaces between your teeth can only be reached with floss. If you permit plaque and bacteria to remain between your teeth, it will harden into tartar. While plaque is removed when you brush and floss, tartar must be scraped off by the dentist.Brushing and flossing will reduce the amount of decay-causing bacteria in your mouth. Dr. Lazare believes in preventing unnecessary drilling and tooth repairs, and prevention is the first step towards experiencing a beautiful, long-lasting smile.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?

One of the biggest concerns that patients have when visiting a traditional dental office for routine exams is the potential negative effects of radiation through x-rays. Dr. Lazare believes in giving patients the best care possible and minimizing unnecessary risks, so he uses digital x-ray technology. This digital technology provides various benefits and requires 90% less radiation when compared to traditional x-rays

I have received a few services from Dr.Lazare’s office. As soon as I entered their office, I was greeted by their very sweet office administrator, Samantha- who took my information and offered me water. Dr. Lazare was very kind and funny. He’s worked on my teeth and has honestly been the best dentist that I’ve received treatment from. He takes his time and explains everything throughly. I also had a great experience with their hygienist, Therese. While performing my oral cleaning I felt no pain and it was the best oral cleaning I’ve ever had performed. The checking out process with Samantha was quick and easy. Overall Dr.Lazare’s office is very clean, friendly and dedicated to their work for their patients.
