Dental Cleaning Near Me: How to Find the Best Dentist for You
When you’re choosing a dentist for cleanings and exams, do you know what qualities to look for? Although it may not feel like a high-stakes decision, the dentist you choose for cleanings and exams will also be the one diagnosing cavities and other concerns you may have or they may discover. Ideally, your relationship with them is long-term, and perhaps your child or children may see them too. Aside from a convenient nearby location, what else should you look for to help you make the most informed choice?
Location
Yes, you do want your dentist to be in a location that’s convenient for you! With locations in Summit, NJ and Westfield, NJ, The Dental Studio is conveniently located near you.
Experienced Hygenists
Every level of experience brings its own benefits. With experienced hygienists on staff, we offer the following advantages to you:
- Diagnostic Skills: When it comes to spotting decay, gum disease, and even more serious concerns like oral cancer, an experienced hygienist knows all the signs. That tiny cavity may call for a filling now, or a root canal later. The sooner you know, the better!
- Diagnostic Skills: The more experience a hygienist has working with patients, the more intuitive they are about little things like the placement of the suction device, the amount of pressure to use, and the angle of the chair.
- Diagnostic Skills: An experienced hygienist can work efficiently and get your cleaning over with quickly.
- Diagnostic Skills: Seasoned hygienists can usually sense if you’re feeling nervous and identify the right approach for easing your concerns.
At The Dental Studio, our amazing team of hygienists has many years’ experience, and they support one another in delivering top-of-the-line care for our treasured patients.

Passion
Do dentist and staff show empathy and concern? Do they ask about your life, your child, your overall health? You want to know that they’re seeing you as a whole person, not just “teeth”. Dr. Butensky at The Dental Studio seeks to understand what your teeth mean to you and become your ally in taking impeccable care of them.
Technology
It isn’t that you want to find a dentist with a specific device, so much as you want to know that your dentist’s office cares about offering the latest tech. Leading-edge technology isn’t just about making the dentist’s job easier. Across the board, every major advancement in dentistry has improved patient experience, making it more comfortable and more efficient. These advancements also signal that your dentist is committed to providing you with the best and most up-to-date care available.
For dental cleanings in our Summit and Westfield offices, The Dental Studio employs digital x-rays, which emit 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays. Additionally, we use an intraoral camera to improve our diagnostic capacity. Prior to this technology, exams relied heavily on the dentist and hygienist’s ability to see the nooks and crannies of your mouth with those tiny mirrors. We still look carefully, but now we can take high resolution images of your whole mouth, and we’re able to view those images in real time, together with you, to discuss what we see.
Comprehensive Care
It’s a massive benefit to you if your dentist offers comprehensive care. That means they offer everything, or almost everything, within their practice. There are three major advantages to this:
- Continuity of care: Interdisciplinary cases—such as when you need oral surgery, periodontal work, and restorative dentistry—typically requires a high level of communication between providers. When those providers work in separate practices and barely know one another, this can become challenging, and the quality of care can suffer for it. When your dentist can do everything, either themselves or alongside other doctors in their same practice, you can rest assured that crucial treatment details are not being lost.
- No trips to specialists: Everything you need is in the comfort of your dentist’s office. No trips into Manhattan to see the endodontist.
- Faster turnaround: Anyone who’s ever tried to coordinate a complex treatment plan for themselves knows that it’s tremendously easier when one office is handling all of the appointments. This not only makes things move along faster and more efficiently, but it’s also part of the comprehensive care suite of benefits. We’re quarterbacking the whole process for you!
The Dental Studio, with convenient locations in Summit and Westfield, offers almost any dental procedure you could ever need, and we do them well! You will likely never need to set foot in a different dental specialist’s office.
Vibes
Yes, vibes! It’s gotta feel right. Do you like the front desk staff? Do you feel comfortable and relaxed with your hygienist? Does the dentist instill a sense of confidence that you’re in good hands? You should be able to feel good about your dentist’s office. It’s a potentially life-long relationship!
