Gentle, Effective Dental Cleanings in Los Angeles

AirFlow cleanings are not covered by insurance. If you'd like to book a cleaning covered by insurance, please book a standard cleaning or a Signature Cleaning & Whitening. Unfortunately, reimbursement rates are very low and we cannot accept them for our AirFlow cleanings.

We accept both HSA & FSA.

We also accept most major insurance providers including Delta, Cigna, Moda, and more. While in the studio, we will provide you with everything you need, including paperwork and a superbill, to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Insurance typically covers the majority of the cost of your cleaning, but you will be responsible for the cost of your cleaning while in the studio.

See full insurance page for more information.

Please note that insurance is only applicable to our Cleanings & can also be applied to Cleaning & Whitening treatments, but the cost of the Whitening cannot be covered by insurance.

AirFlow cleaning, first, includes the application of a complimentary plaque disclosing solution which highlights areas of plaque buildup - allowing for identification of missed-areas during routine care and correction of at-home brushing patterns (to prevent future plaque buildup).

Secondly, AirFlow cleanings include the usage of our advanced AirFlow technology - which uses a gentle stream of air and water to clean your teeth - without the typical picking and scraping associated with dental cleanings. AirFlow has been shown to remove plaque equally if not more effectively than standard dental cleanings.

Yes, instead of picking and scraping to remove plaque and tartar - which is typically required in dental cleanings - AirFlow cleanings use a gentle stream of air & water to remove plaque & tartar, plus polish, in one simple treatment.

AirFlow is great for those with sensitive teeth or looking to avoid the ordinary picking and scraping associated with dental cleanings.

Our complimentary plaque disclosing solution is a dye which highlights areas of plaque buildup - allowing for identification of missed-areas during routine care and correction of at-home brushing patterns (to prevent future plaque buildup). Your hygienist will guide you through every step of the process.

The detoxifying solution used in AirFlow is erythritol powder - a sugar alcohol found in many foods. Erythritol powder has many dental benefits and proven to help prevent cavities and gum disease.

The Gleamery is a dental boutique with licensed, expert Hygienists who provide teeth cleanings and whitening tailored to our clients’ needs. Dr. Tina Nguyen, our Founder & supervising Los Angeles dentist, sets our standard of care, oversees our Hygiene team, and maintains a robust intake process to ensure all smiles are safe in our studios.

We remove many of the uncomfortable aspects of traditional dental care (drills, judgment, scheduling, cost) with convenience, affordability, and hospitality.

Our studios are designed with you in mind, and we offer teeth cleanings and whitening in as little as 30 minutes to accommodate busy schedules. We offer teeth cleaning and whitening same-day appointments, walk-in teeth cleaning, and evening and weekend appointments. 

Self-care should never be a burden.

During your treatment, if one of our Hygienists spots something they think should be reviewed by a dentist, we’ll refer you out to one of our local partner dentists in Los Angeles (whom we trust) for additional care. But your experience at The Gleamery is designed to be an experience in self-care. To us, smile-care = self-care.

Cancellations or reschedules within 24 hours of your appointment will incur the full cost of your appointment to your card on file.  We understand things come up - in the event this happens, if you reschedule and complete a new appointment within 7 days, the rescheduled appointment cost will be discounted by 50%. We have a 5-minute grace period for late appointments - please be sure to fill out your forms before heading in so check-in can be a breeze.

During your treatment (whether a cleaning or a whitening), if one of our hygienists spots an area that needs attention from a dentist (like a cavity), we’ll refer you to one of our Los Angeles dentist partners (whom we trust) for additional care.

Our guidance will vary for every client, but during your teeth cleaning, our hygienists will take a detailed look at your oral health and provide custom guidance depending on your smile-care goals.

As a general rule of practice, we recommend 3-4 cleanings per year (or one cleaning every 3-4 months). After routine cleanings, plaque builds up fast at home. At-home brushing and flossing often misses difficult-to-reach areas - which is why routine cleanings are so important.

Yes. We hire best-in-class, licensed hygienists that provide robust, complete teeth cleanings. While you’re in the studio, our hygiene team will work hand-in-hand with you to develop a plan to help you reach your healthiest possible smile.

For those that haven’t been to the dentist in years and have significant plaque and tartar buildup, more time and/or an additional cleaning may be required.

If it is your first time receiving a professional teeth cleaning in a long time, we recommend starting with a 45-minute AirFlow cleaning to ensure a robust clean.

No, The Gleamery does not perform SRPs (deep cleaning dental services that go below the gumline). However, our expert hygienists provide thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline, helping to maintain your smile's health and brightness. If we ever notice signs of gum disease that require more advanced treatment, we’ll let you know and guide you toward the next appropriate steps.
