Ultrasonics for dental cleanings at Dr. Yip’s Office
What Are Ultrasonics?
Ultrasonics are advanced dental instruments that use high-frequency sound vibrations to effectively remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. Their slim, refined tips allow Dr. Yip and our hygiene team to clean with exceptional accuracy, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with traditional tools.
How Ultrasonics Work
The term “ultrasonic” refers to sound waves that vibrate at frequencies beyond what the human ear can detect. These small, rapid vibrations gently break apart buildup on the teeth. At the same time, a cool water mist flushes debris away, leaving the area cleaner, fresher, and healthier.
Why Patients Value Ultrasonic Treatment
Ultrasonics provide:
- More comfortable cleanings with less scraping
- Better access under the gumline and between teeth
- Improved precision, helping preserve delicate tooth and gum tissue
- Thorough removal of plaque and tartar for healthier gums
Many patients find that ultrasonic cleanings feel smoother and more pleasant overall. A More Comfortable Experience, Every Visit
Our goal at Dr. Yip’s Office is to offer care that is not only effective, but also gentle and comfortable. The use of ultrasonic instruments is just one of the many ways we prioritize your oral health and well-being.
