Peptide-Infused HydroJet Cleaning in La Jolla
Advanced Cleaning for a Healthier Smile
When our patients come in for dental cleanings, we want them to leave feeling exceptionally clean and refreshed. Our peptide-infused HydroJet teeth cleanings deliver precisely that feeling. Our signature approach to dental cleaning is available to all patients at our La Jolla office.
What Is a Peptide-Infused HydroJet Cleaning?
This advanced cleaning approach combines targeted HydroJet technology with a peptide-infused application. Together, this provides better removal of plaque, surface buildup, and debris while enhancing your comfort.
HydroJet
The HydroJet aspect involves using controlled steam to clean on and around the teeth, especially benefiting hard-to-reach areas. This approach provides exceptional flushing and clearance of plaque and debris, leading to a thoroughly rinsed feeling afterward. We can even adjust settings to enhance comfort for patients with sensitive areas.
Peptide Infusion
The second part of the treatment involves the application of the peptide infusion. We apply the solution directly to target areas, where they promote tooth remineralization once absorbed.

Getting a Peptide-Infused HydroJet Cleaning: Step by Step
Dental Examination
Every treatment always starts with reviewing your oral health. Based on an oral exam (and X-rays, when needed), we can determine if a HydroJet cleaning is right for you. From there, we identify areas of buildup, staining, and sensitivity to customize our approach.
HydroJet Cleaning
Your dental specialist will start by cleaning around the teeth and gumline with the HydroJet tool. This flushes away plaque, biofilm, and debris. It typically requires no anesthesia, though we may apply a light topical numbing solution for sensitive areas.
Polishing and Flossing
We polish the teeth and floss them to ensure no debris remains. If any buildup remains, we may do another HydroJet pass on select areas.
Peptide-Infused Application
We finish up by applying the peptide-infused solution.

Peptide-Infused HydroJet Cleaning FAQs
How is a HydroJet cleaning different from a regular teeth cleaning?
Both conventional and HydroJet cleanings focus on preventing oral health issues. The core difference is in equipment and technique. HydroJet relies on water-assisted cleaning while conventional techniques may involve more manual mechanical cleaning.
What does the peptide-infused part of the cleaning do?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, molecules that serve as the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. Infusing them into the gums can help support cellular function and barrier health. For your teeth, they form a matrix scaffold that attracts minerals to help remineralize your teeth over time.
Is HydroJet cleaning safe for sensitive teeth and gums?
It will depend on the degree of sensitivity. However, the adjustability of HydroJet cleanings makes them ideal for different comfort tolerances.
Does a HydroJet cleaning replace scaling and root planing?
Peptide-infused HydroJet cleanings are ideal for patients needing routine preventive care. If you have gum disease or deep gum pockets, you may first need a deep cleaning. Once your situation improves, HydroJet may become suitable for routine preventive care.
Can I receive a HydroJet cleaning if I have veneers, crowns, or dental implants?
HydroJet is suitable for patients with all manner of dental restorations. In fact, professional maintenance is as important for restorations as for your natural teeth.
Will a HydroJet cleaning whiten my teeth?
Your teeth may look lighter after treatment since HydroJet cleanings remove some surface stains. However, deeper stains may still require teeth whitening.
How often should I schedule a HydroJet dental cleaning?
As with conventional cleaning, the typical regimen is to have one cleaning every 6 months. Some patients may need more frequent cleaning to avoid oral health issues.
Can I eat and drink after a peptide-infused HydroJet cleaning?
While it is safe to eat after your treatment, we recommend waiting at least 30–60 minutes. This gives the peptides sufficient time to be fully absorbed so you get the most out of your treatment.
Is HydroJet cleaning covered by dental insurance?
Exact coverage will depend on your insurance plan. We also offer a TruGLO Membership plan that provides exclusive benefits and discounts to make HydroJet cleanings more accessible.
