Professional teeth cleaning is the foundation of a healthy smile and the easiest way to keep small problems from turning into big ones. At B-You! Dentistry in Suwanee, GA, cleanings are for everyone, from patients who have not been to a dentist in years to families who want a regular dentist for kids 9 and up. Dr. Tan Bui and his hygiene team explain what they see and why, so you leave knowing exactly where your mouth stands.
What Your Dental Cleaning in Suwanee Includes
A cleaning visit at our Laurel Springs Pkwy office is more than polishing your teeth. Dr. Bui and the hygiene team check your gums, your bite and your overall oral health, then remove the buildup that brushing and flossing cannot reach on their own.
- A gum and tooth exam, including a check for early signs of decay or gum disease
- Digital X-rays to see between teeth and below the gumline
- Intraoral camera photos shown on the screen, so you see what Dr. Bui sees
- Removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline
- Polishing and a review of your home care, in plain language
The American Dental Association notes that regular dental visits and cleanings help remove the plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing can miss (MouthHealthy, ADA). Dr. Bui reviews your X-rays and photos with you before recommending anything, and you get to ask questions at every step.
New patients can start with the $149 new patient exam and healthy mouth cleaning, which covers your exam, X-rays and cleaning in one visit. If you just need a limited exam, ask about the $99 limited exam or implant consult.
My hygienist, Ms. Hang, was truly exceptional, one of the best I've ever had. She was gentle, meticulous, and highly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain each step clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit...

Gum Therapy and Deep Cleanings in Suwanee, GA
Some patients need more than a routine cleaning. If Dr. Bui finds gum pockets, bleeding or buildup below the gumline, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) may be recommended instead. This treats gum disease rather than just preventing it.
Routine Cleaning
Removes plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. The right fit when your gums are healthy.
Scaling and Root Planing
Reaches below the gumline to clear out bacteria and smooths the tooth root so your gums can reattach and heal.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing care for patients who have been treated for gum disease, keeping it from coming back.
The NIDCR explains that gum disease starts as inflammation of the gum tissue and can progress if it is not treated (NIDCR, NIH). Dr. Bui checks for this at every exam, even when you have no symptoms, and discusses options like the office's gum disease treatment if you need it.

Your Cleaning Visit, Step by Step
Step 1: Check-in. You relax in our reception lounge with a beverage while your chart is pulled up.
Step 2: Exam and images. Dr. Bui or the hygienist checks your gums and teeth, takes digital X-rays, and captures intraoral camera photos shown on the screen.
Step 3: The cleaning. The hygienist removes plaque and tartar, then polishes your teeth. If gum disease is found, Dr. Bui discusses a deep cleaning plan instead of moving ahead that day.
Step 4: Review and plan. Dr. Bui goes over what was found and answers your questions, without pressure to decide on the spot.
Step 5: Your next visit. Before you leave, we can book your next cleaning on the schedule Dr. Bui recommends, so staying on track is simple.

Teeth Cleaning FAQs: Suwanee, GA
How often should I get a cleaning?
This depends on your gum health, tartar buildup and overall history. Dr. Bui will tell you the schedule he recommends for you after your exam.
What is the difference between a routine cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A routine cleaning cleans the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gumline to treat gum disease. Dr. Bui tells you which one fits your exam findings.
Does a cleaning hurt?
Most patients with healthy gums find a routine cleaning comfortable. If gums are inflamed, you may feel mild sensitivity that passes quickly. Deep cleanings use local anesthetic, and laughing gas is available if you feel nervous.
Will my insurance cover my cleaning?
We are in network with 20+ PPO plans plus Medicare plans from Aetna, UHC PPO, United Concordia and Humana. Bring your insurance card and our team can go over your benefits with you. See our insurance and financing page for details.
Can I come in if I have not seen a dentist in years?
Yes. Dr. Bui and the team welcome patients at any stage of oral health and never make you feel judged for a gap in care. You get a clear exam and honest next steps.
Do you see children for cleanings?
We see patients age 9 and up for cleanings and checkups, so older kids can join the family on the same visit schedule.
