Dental cleanings are one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy smile. At Berry Dental Group in Mt. Juliet, TN, we provide professional dental cleanings that go far beyond what a toothbrush and floss can achieve at home.
These visits do more than just give your teeth that fresh, polished feel. They also help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues you might not know are developing. Using digital imaging and gentle techniques, we make sure your cleaning is thorough, effective, and comfortable from start to finish.
As a dentist who truly values connection, Dr. Zac Berry always takes time during cleanings to talk with his patients about their oral health goals and any concerns they may have. You won’t feel rushed. Instead, you’ll feel heard and genuinely cared for. With digital X-rays and other modern technology guiding our team, we can catch and address small problems early, preventing them from becoming bigger issues later on.

Regular dental cleanings are essential not just for maintaining a bright smile, but for keeping your entire mouth healthy. Skipping cleanings can lead to plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to tooth decay, gum inflammation, and even tooth loss if left untreated.
At Berry Dental Group, our team sees dental cleanings as the foundation of preventive care. They allow us to monitor your health closely, remove harmful buildup, and keep your oral health on track year-round. Our practice is a judgment-free space that’s all about making dental care accessible and comfortable.
Plus, for those without dental insurance, we even offer an affordable membership plan, because no one should have to skip out on the care they need. Six-month cleanings are simple, effective steps toward staying healthy, and we make sure they fit easily into your everyday life.

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t, significantly lowering your risk of decay and periodontal problems.
Removing surface stains and bacteria buildup helps your mouth feel fresh and ensures that your teeth look clean, vibrant, and confident.
During each cleaning, we screen for warning signs of oral cancer, tooth damage, or other conditions so we can catch problems early when they’re easiest to treat.

Before we begin the cleaning, we take time to thoroughly assess the health of your teeth and gums. We use digital X-rays and high-resolution imaging to get a precise look at areas we can’t see with the naked eye, ensuring we catch any signs of decay, recession, or infection early. We always make a point to talk through these findings with you in a way that’s easy to understand, so you stay informed and confident in your care plan.

Once we begin, we use advanced ultrasonic instruments to gently but powerfully remove tartar buildup from around your teeth and beneath the gumline. This approach is quicker and more comfortable than traditional scraping alone. You’ll feel fresher without the discomfort. We follow up with meticulous polishing to eliminate stains and smooth the enamel, giving you that smooth, fresh-from-the-dentist feeling.

After your cleaning, we’ll sit down to discuss effective at-home care strategies, and if needed, recommend any treatments. Because every patient’s mouth is different, Dr. Berry tailors his advice to your specific smile, whether that means choosing the right toothbrush, talking about dietary tips, or discussing the benefits of fluoride treatments. It’s part of the personalized, relationship-based approach we believe in at Berry Dental Group.
