Meet Your Dentists
Dr. Bowles and Dr. Karow take an education-focused approach to care, because patients who understand what’s happening in their mouths make better decisions for their long-term health. Using tools like CBCT 3D imaging alongside years of clinical experience, their goal is to catch the small things early before they become painful or costly down the road.

What Sarasota Patients Are Saying
Types of Teeth Cleanings
Routine Dental Cleaning (Prophylaxis)
Designed for patients with generally healthy teeth and gums, this is what most patients need. Plaque, tartar, and surface stains are removed to keep your mouth healthy and prevent problems from developing.
Scaling In The Presence Of Inflammation (Gingivitis)
Less common, this cleaning is recommended when early signs of gum inflammation are present. It focuses on removing buildup along the gumline to reduce irritation before things progress further.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling And Root Planing)
Recommended when periodontal disease is present, which is not the case for most patients. This treatment cleans below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach properly.
Professional Teeth Cleaning Benefits
Even a solid at-home routine can’t remove hardened tartar. That takes professional tools and training. Here’s what a cleaning with us adds:
Whiter, Brighter Teeth: Surface stains from food and drinks build up over time. A professional cleaning removes that buildup, leaving your teeth noticeably cleaner and brighter.
Fresher Breath: Persistent bad breath usually comes from bacteria along the gumline and between teeth that brushing misses. A thorough cleaning clears it out.
Early Detection: Using advanced imaging and AI-assisted detection, we spot cavities and early gum disease before they become bigger, more expensive issues.
“My second cleaning. Very thorough. I left feeling like my mouth had been to a spa.”

Transparent Pricing
How Much Does a Teeth Cleaning Cost?
The cost of a teeth cleaning in Sarasota typically ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the type of cleaning needed, how much buildup is present, and whether any periodontal treatment is required.
Does Insurance Cover Teeth Cleanings?
Preventive teeth cleanings are among the most commonly covered dental benefits, though coverage varies by plan, enrollment length, and frequency limitations. If periodontal treatment is needed, that may be billed separately.
Our team will review your benefits and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Type of Teeth Cleaning Do I Need?
It depends on your gum health, the amount of buildup present, and whether signs of periodontal disease are found during your exam. Most patients only need a routine cleaning, though some may benefit from a gingivitis cleaning or deep cleaning depending on what your exam shows. Your dentist will let you know if anything else is recommended.
What Is the Difference Between a Regular Cleaning and a Deep Cleaning?
A routine cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning goes below the gumline to remove bacteria and help the gums heal, and is only recommended when periodontal disease is present.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an infection and inflammation of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss.
What Is Periodontal Probing?
Periodontal probing is a routine part of checking gum health, where small measurements are taken around each tooth to look for signs of inflammation, pocketing, or bone loss. These measurements help identify early signs of gum disease and determine the most appropriate treatment.
