At Layton Dentistry, a cleaning is more than a polish — it's a complete biofilm management experience designed to protect your smile and keep it brighter, longer.
Make an AppointmentLocated in Charlotte's Elizabeth neighborhood, Layton Dentistry has reimagined the routine cleaning. Using the PWR PAIR system — a pairing of guided biofilm therapy and air polishing — our hygienists remove plaque, stain, and bacteria more gently and thoroughly than traditional scaling alone.
Whether you have sensitive teeth, haven't been to the dentist in a while, or simply want the best preventive care Charlotte has to offer, we'll make your visit comfortable and your results exceptional.
GBT is a systematic, evidence-based protocol that uses a disclosing agent to reveal biofilm before it's removed. This ensures every trace of plaque and bacteria is identified and eliminated — far more thorough than a standard cleaning approach.
Using a gentle stream of water, air, and fine powder, air polishing removes staining and biofilm from tooth surfaces and hard-to-reach areas with minimal pressure — making it ideal for patients with sensitivity, implants, or orthodontic hardware.
Our signature PWR PAIR protocol combines the latest in biofilm detection, air polishing, and ultrasonic scaling for a cleaning that's gentler on enamel and gums while being more effective at removing the buildup that causes decay and gum disease.
Traditional metal scalers can feel harsh on sensitive teeth and gums. Our air-polishing approach significantly reduces discomfort, making cleanings accessible and even enjoyable for patients who have avoided the dentist due to sensitivity.
Every cleaning visit includes a thorough exam by Dr. Layton, reviewing your gum health, checking for early signs of decay, oral cancer screening, and updating digital X-rays as needed to catch problems before they become costly.
For patients managing gum disease, we offer periodontal maintenance cleanings on a customized schedule — typically every 3–4 months — to keep bacterial levels controlled and protect the bone and tissue supporting your teeth.
A disclosing agent highlights plaque and biofilm so our hygienist can target every area precisely.
Gentle air-powder polishing removes stain and biofilm from all surfaces, including between teeth and below the gumline.
Any remaining tartar or calculus is removed with a gentle ultrasonic scaler — more comfortable than hand instruments.
Dr. Layton reviews your results, discusses any findings, and sets your personalized prevention schedule.
