Our trained dental hygienists use advanced ultrasonic scalers and polishing tools to gently clean your teeth above and below the gum line.

Frequently asked questions
Is scaling and polishing painful?+
Most patients find the procedure comfortable, but mild sensitivity may occur during or after the cleaning—especially if there’s a lot of buildup.
How often should I get scaling and polishing?+
Every 6 months is ideal for most people. If you have gum disease or excessive tartar buildup, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
Can scaling damage my teeth?+
No, professional scaling is safe and does not damage the enamel. It actually helps protect your teeth by removing harmful deposits.
What’s the difference between scaling and deep cleaning?+
Standard scaling is preventive and cosmetic. Deep cleaning (root planing) treats gum disease and involves cleaning deeper below the gum line.
Will my teeth look whiter after polishing?+
Yes, polishing removes surface stains and leaves your teeth looking brighter, but it does not change their natural color like whitening treatments.
Can scaling fix bad breath?+
Yes. Removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your mouth significantly improves breath freshness.
Do I still need scaling if I brush regularly?+
Yes. Even with daily brushing and flossing, tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas and needs to be removed professionally.
Is fluoride applied after polishing?+
In some cases, yes. Your dentist may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
