You’re not alone—but skipping cleanings often leads to higher costs in the long run. A routine cleaning, often covered at 100% by most insurance plans, helps prevent cavities and gum disease that can cost thousands to treat. We make scheduling easy with Monday–Friday hours of 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, and we also offer back-to-back scheduling for multiple family members.
One of the most effective things you can do for your long-term oral health often costs less than many other dental treatments—your routine professional cleaning. At Mur-Len Family Dentistry in Olathe, KS, Dr. Navkiran Warya and our hygiene team deliver thorough, gentle preventive care that helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and costly dental problems for your entire family.

What You Need to Know
Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the U.S. and has been linked to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. We screen for it at every exam and treat it early—before it causes serious damage.
Thin protective coatings applied to children’s back molars—the most cavity-prone area. Ask Dr. Warya if dental sealants are appropriate for your child.
Every comprehensive exam includes both a visual and tactile screening for suspicious changes in oral tissue. When detected early, oral cancer has a significantly higher survival rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional cleanings every six months for most patients. Dr. Warya may recommend more frequent visits—every three to four months—if you have gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, or other risk factors.
For most patients, a professional cleaning is completely comfortable. If you have sensitive or inflamed gums, you may experience mild discomfort during scaling. Our hygienists adjust their techniques to match your comfort level.
Mur-Len Family Dentistry is approximately 8–10 minutes from Black Bob Park (16219 S Black Bob Road). Head north on Black Bob Road to W 163rd Street, turn east, then head north on Mur-Len Road. We are located at 1717 S Mur-Len Road, Olathe, KS 66062. Free parking is available on-site.
A regular prophylaxis (routine) cleaning focuses on cleaning above and just below the gumline for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes tartar and bacteria from root surfaces below the gumline to treat and manage gum disease.
Most dental insurance plans often cover two preventive cleanings per year at 100%, meaning little to no out-of-pocket cost for you. Contact our office, and we will verify your specific benefits before your appointment.
