At Skyline Dental Designs we take our role as oral health educators seriously so we can ensure our patients live their healthiest lives. Oral health and overall health are intrinsically linked, which is why performing oral health exams, taking X-rays when needed, and staying up to date with our patients’ histories are important aspects of the professional teeth cleaning services we offer.
The American Dental Association recommends that you visit the dentist every six months for a routine dental check-up. At Skyline Dental Designs in Weehawken, your visit will include a comprehensive examination, X-rays, and a professional cleaning to improve your oral health, prevent disease, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
We are proud to serve patients with premier quality teeth cleaning in the Weehawken area and beyond. For those coming in for regular checkups and cleanings, we take the time to look at the whole picture of overall health and incorporate preventative action into your dental regimen.
We understand it is very important for our patients to feel empowered with knowledge when they come to their appointment and we leave ample time to ensure cleaning is done thoroughly and any questions or concerns are able to be addressed. We provide complimentary wi-fi at our practice to make your comfort and convenience our top priority. We also have complimentary parking for patients.
We want you to feel completely at ease with every aspect of your treatment, which is why we use cutting-edge technology including intraoral cameras so you can see the inside of your mouth while we work together on treatment options. Our staff focuses heavily on continuing education, so we know that we are offering the highest standard of care for every patient.
When you come in for your appointment, after reviewing your X-rays, we will do a thorough exam of your oral cavity to uncover any areas of weakness, decay, inflammation or infection in the teeth and gums. We will also screen for oral cancer, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Once this is done, on to the cleaning!
It is imperative to remove harmful plaque and tartar from between the teeth and along your gum line. Using specialized dental instruments allows us to clean off tartar that cannot be removed through normal brushing and flossing.
We use a high-powered electrical toothbrush and specifically designed gritty toothpaste to polish each individual tooth so we can remove any remaining stains and tartar that are too difficult to remove with daily brushing techniques.
Removing plaque and food debris from between the teeth is critical for preventing tooth decay and gingivitis. During your cleaning, all the interproximal or in-between plaque and debris will be removed!
To protect your teeth from decay and to re-mineralize weakened enamel, we always recommend a fluoride treatment. The application of fluoride helps to prevent plaque from hardening on the tooth's surface and causing gum health problems. The process is safe, fast, and effective and can be applied directly to the teeth within minutes. Fluoride is used as a preventative for tooth decay and cavities.
Dental sealants are used to fill small cracks or grooves in your teeth where tooth decay can develop. Sealants are usually applied to molars. The treatment has little or no discomfort and only takes a short time to administer. Dental sealants usually last three to five years.
Prevention is the key to maintaining a healthy smile! For most patients, having your teeth professionally cleaned every six months is enough to prevent the harmful effects of plaque and calculus (calcified dental plaque). However, some patients may require more frequent cleanings. Our highly trained team will let you know what interval is best for you and your oral health.
We are proud to be considered the premier dental cleaning practice in Weehawken. We place great importance on providing our patients with detailed information on why having regular teeth cleaning and checkups can improve your overall oral health.
Gum disease is caused by plaque and bacteria hidden on your teeth and below your gum line. By scheduling regular cleanings, you can prevent plaque from building up and help to prevent gingivitis and gum disease.
Your oral health and your overall health are closely related. Oftentimes dentists can identify systemic conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease by signs and conditions found in your mouth. Bacteria from the mouth can also easily travel to your bloodstream and affect your body's overall wellbeing. Teeth cleaning can alleviate the issues that can trigger these conditions leading to better overall health.
When plaque has been left on your teeth for too long, it turns to calculus or tartar. This hard substance sits on your teeth and gums and causes inflammation, decay, gingivitis and gum disease. At your professional cleaning appointment, we pay great attention to detail and remove any buildup so your teeth not only look clean and healthy, but feel healthy as well.
Over time, the harmful acids released by bacteria found in plaque and calculus can lead to tooth decay. By having a regular professional dental cleaning appointment, you can prevent buildup and alleviate tooth decay.
Regular cleanings allow us to help catch problems when they start, before they become advanced. Typically, it can be more costly to correct larger problems than when conditions are found in their infancy.
A dental cleaning will remove unsightly plaque and calculus along with stains caused by everyday food and beverages. You will have renewed confidence in your smile and the way you look with brighter, whiter teeth.
A visit to our office every six months gives you an opportunity to talk to your dentist and ask any questions that you may have about your oral health.

Loved my experience here! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the office is clean and beautiful. Dr. Kaplan was great - he was friendly, didn't rush anything, answered all of my questions, and did my teeth cleaning himself. Very happy to have Skyline Dental for my future dentist visits.
Thank you Dr Kaplan and the staff at Skyline Dental! I had a great experience during my check-up and cleaning. Dr. Kaplan made me feel comfortable and explained dental treatments thoroughly! Skyline Dental truly makes your dentist appointments smooth sailing, (painless too) looking forward to my next visit in six months.
Have had a great experience with Skyline Dental. Dr. Kaplan takes time to explain what’s going on and answer any questions while the reception crew is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Never have trouble getting through to them or receiving the information I need! Definitely recommend.
I’ve had a great experience working with Dr. Kaplan and his team. Everyone has been extremely professional and great during Covid. The work Dr. Kaplan does is excellent as well. I would definitely recommend working with the team at Skyline Dental Designs
Beautiful office, fantastic staff! Dr. Kaplan is very thoughtful and patient. Pays close attention and puts your best interests first. I never felt uncomfortable even though I had to fill so many cavities on my first appointment here. The BEST dentist!!
I’m fairly new to the area and was looking for a new dentist office. I'm so glad I chose to check out Skyline! The staff is very welcoming and kind. The dentist took his time to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking!
I have been seeing Dr. Kaplan for a couple of months to correct some cavities and look into orthodontics options. I'm very pleased with this practice overall as well as with the doctor. The staff is kind and responsive, the doctor is very attentive and gives you time if you have questions. Very recommended!
Seamless process from start to finish. Dr. Kaplan is the most thorough dentist I've been to. He took the time to get to know me and my oral health/goals. Explained my options and treatment plan. His actual treatment (for fillings) was completely painless!
