      Professional Scaling & Polishing Service

      Restore Your Smile's Health & Shine

      Even with diligent daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas. These deposits not only dull your smile but also harbor harmful bacteria, leading to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

      Our professional Scaling & Polishing service is your ultimate defense, providing a deep, thorough clean that goes beyond what you can achieve at home. It's an essential part of maintaining optimal oral health and ensuring your smile remains bright, healthy, and confident.

      What is Scaling & Polishing?

      This crucial dental procedure involves two primary steps:

      1. Scaling: Using specialized ultrasonic and hand instruments, our skilled hygienists meticulously remove hardened plaque (calculus or tartar) from the surface of your teeth, both above and below the gum line. This process effectively eliminates the rough surfaces where bacteria thrive.
      2. Polishing: Following scaling, your teeth are polished using a special paste and a rotary brush. This step smooths the tooth surfaces, removing any remaining superficial stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods. Polishing also makes it harder for plaque to reattach, leaving your teeth feeling incredibly clean and looking noticeably brighter.

      Key Benefits of Regular Scaling & Polishing:

      • Prevents Gum Disease: Eliminates plaque and tartar, the primary causes of gingivitis and periodontitis, reducing inflammation and bleeding gums.
      • Fights Cavities: Removing plaque reduces the bacterial acid attacks that erode tooth enamel and lead to decay.
      • Freshens Breath: A major cause of bad breath (halitosis) is the bacteria found in plaque and tartar. A professional clean significantly reduces these odor-causing bacteria.
      • Brighter, Cleaner Smile: Polishing effectively removes extrinsic stains, revealing a noticeably brighter, more radiant smile without altering tooth color.
      • Early Detection of Issues: During your appointment, our hygienist and dentist will also perform a thorough check-up, identifying any potential concerns like cavities, gum recession, or other oral health issues at an early stage.
      • Promotes Overall Health: Good oral hygiene is linked to better overall systemic health, reducing the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes complications.
      • Long-Term Savings: Preventative care like scaling and polishing can help you avoid more costly and extensive dental treatments in the future.

      Who Needs Scaling & Polishing?

      Everyone! It is generally recommended that adults undergo a professional scaling and polishing treatment at least once every six months, or more frequently if advised by your dentist, especially if you:

      • Have noticeable plaque or tartar buildup.
      • Experience bleeding gums or gum inflammation.
      • Have persistent bad breath.
      • Consume staining foods or beverages regularly (coffee, tea, red wine).
      • Are a smoker.
      • Have a history of gum disease.
      • Are due for your routine dental check-up.

      Our Gentle & Thorough Process:

      1. Comprehensive Examination: We begin with a gentle visual examination of your teeth and gums to assess your oral health.
      2. Ultrasonic Scaling: Our hygienist will use a state-of-the-art ultrasonic scaler, which uses high-frequency vibrations and a fine mist of water to gently dislodge larger pieces of calculus and plaque.
      3. Hand Scaling (Fine Tuning): For smaller, more tenacious deposits or those in harder-to-reach areas, delicate hand instruments (curettes and sickles) are used to ensure every surface is clean.
      4. Professional Polishing: A specialized gritty paste is applied with a soft, rotating rubber cup to smooth your tooth surfaces and remove any remaining surface stains, leaving your teeth feeling incredibly smooth.
      5. Rinsing & Fluoride (Optional): You'll be given a refreshing rinse, and a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen your enamel and provide extra protection against decay.
      6. Personalized Oral Hygiene Advice: Our hygienist will provide tailored advice on effective brushing techniques, flossing methods, and product recommendations to help you maintain your pristine smile between visits.
