Why Belmont Families Choose Us for Cleanings
Everyone in Your Family, One Team
South Point Family Dentistry welcomes patients starting at age one, so the whole family sees the same team. That consistency means your dentist in Belmont, NC, knows your smile long before adult concerns show up.
Weeknight and Saturday Appointments
We take appointments up until 7 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, plus Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm. Cleanings fit your schedule without rearranging work or school, and late slots also help nervous patients who prefer quieter office hours.
Generous Insurance Coverage
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams are fully covered by most dental insurance we accept. If you don't have insurance, CareCredit® and Sunbit financing can spread the cost across manageable monthly payments.
It Pays to Take Care of Your Smile
It can feel tempting to skimp on cleanings. After all, you brush and floss each day at home, so why does it matter? But even with great at-home care, you still can't remove the plaque and tartar that can quickly begin damaging your teeth.
Regular preventive visits cost meaningfully less than the restorative treatments that catch up with a smile after years of skipped cleanings. And because most dental insurance plans fully cover two cleanings and exams per year for adults and children, they're one of the most affordable parts of long-term dental care. We also accept flexible financing to cover any out-of-pocket costs.

25% of American Adults Have a Cavity Right Now
Cavities are incredibly common among patients from 20 to 64, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A quarter of them have tooth decay, even if they don't know it. That's why visiting our dentists is so crucial. Not only can we detect bacteria buildup and cavities, but we can treat them with dental fillings and root canal therapy, as well as help you practice better care in the future.
I Brush and Floss Every Day. Do I Really Need to See the Dentist?
If you practice good daily dental care, you're creating a commendable foundation for your oral health. But only dentists can clean away the stubborn plaque and tartar that deposits on our teeth and along our gumlines. An experienced dentist, like those on our team, will use specialized tools to completely clean each tooth.
It takes an hour of your time or less to prevent dental problems, so visit us for your next appointment.
Regular Dental Cleanings Protect
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, patients still need to visit a dentist to remove plaque and tartar from their teeth. Seeing our team twice a year allows us to catch things like cavities early, or even prevent them entirely. We offer dental care like fillings and crowns, so if we notice anything during your teeth cleaning, you've got a team that can help.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition resulting from bacteria, plaque, and tartar. It begins as a milder form known as gingivitis, advancing to gum disease over time. Symptoms include puffy gums, gum pockets, and gum recession. Luckily, our dentists offer gum disease treatment, so we can better treat you if we notice the signs.
After tooth loss, our jawbones and sinus bones can deteriorate, creating visible sinking in your facial structure. That's because they need to be stimulated by the roots of your teeth. This problem is preventable with good oral hygiene and routine teeth cleanings from our team. Not to mention, regular care can save you from expensive treatments like crowns, implants, and dentures.
What Does a Dental Cleaning Include?
When you visit our Belmont dentists for a routine appointment, you'll get more than just a cleaning. In every routine visit, we include:
Dental Exams
We take your health seriously. Each cleaning comes with an exam, which allows us to check for cavities, gum disease, and tooth trauma. If we notice any concerns, we can go over them with you and plan the right course of treatment.
Teeth Cleaning
The typical dental cleaning allows us to remove plaque and tartar along your teeth and gums. Your dentist will check to make sure your teeth look excellent before you leave, even doing some polishing for a finishing touch.
Teeth Polishing
Your dentist may also include teeth polishing in your treatment. Polishing is best for preventing staining from buildup on your teeth, so that your smile is both beautiful and healthy when you leave our office.
Home Care Tips
Having trouble flossing around a certain tooth? Need help with a stubborn child's brushing habits? Our dentists are happy to give you at-home dental care tips, like brushing techniques, so that you can best protect your teeth.
For the healthiest smile, patients should combine in-office teeth cleaning with at-home care. You and your family can trust our dentists to protect your oral health, so get started by contacting our Belmont, NC, dental office or by calling us.
