Dental cleanings at Designing Smiles are not rushed or transactional. Our hygienists take the time to do a thorough job, and Dr. Rose or Dr. Hilton-Foley will personally review your X-rays and perform or oversee your exam — so you are always seeing an actual dentist at every visit, not just a hygienist handing off to someone you’ve never met. We focus on prevention and honest communication: if we see something developing, we will tell you clearly what it is, what your options are, and what happens if you wait. We will never recommend treatment you do not need. For families in the Westchase area who want a consistent home base for all their dental care, we offer the full range of family dentistry services — cleanings, exams, X-rays, and diagnostic and preventive care — all under one roof. Patients who show early signs of gum disease can also transition to periodontal care and maintenance at our office without needing a referral. Call us at (813) 891-1212 to book your next cleaning.
By removing plaque and tartar, dental cleanings protect your gums from infection and inflammation. Regular cleanings significantly reduce your risk of developing gum disease, helping you avoid discomfort and more serious dental problems like tooth loss.
Did you know that oral health is closely connected to your overall health? Dental cleanings help lower your risk for conditions like heart disease and diabetes by reducing harmful bacteria in your mouth. A clean mouth promotes a healthier you.
Professional cleanings not only protect your teeth but also keep them bright and polished. Say goodbye to stubborn stains and hello to a confident, radiant smile that you’ll love to share with the world.

Your dental cleaning begins with a comprehensive exam to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Dr. Ryan Rose and our team will take the time to carefully check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We’ll also answer any questions you have, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed before we begin. Expect a warm, welcoming approach that prioritizes your needs.

Next, our skilled hygienists will gently but thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains. Specialized tools are used to target hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to clean at home. Your comfort is our top priority, and we take care to make this step as smooth and stress-free as possible. This step not only improves your oral health but leaves your teeth feeling fresh and clean.

To finish, we’ll polish your teeth for a smooth, sparkling finish and provide personalized advice on improving your at-home oral hygiene routine. If any follow-up care is needed, we’ll discuss your options and ensure you understand every step. Leaving our office, you’ll feel confident that your smile is in excellent hands, ready to take on the world.
Whether you are due for your regular cleaning or overdue by a few years, our team is ready to see you without judgment.
