We carry out careful scaling and polishing, taking into account your personal oral health needs.
The first step is ’scaling’ to eliminate plaque and tartar deposits. We use an ultrasound machine to remove most of the dental stone, then specialised instruments (only if required) to gently scrape stubborn deposits. Manual scaling is kept to the minimum to avoid removing of root cementum.
The next step is to “polish” the teeth to make sure their surfaces are really smooth. Polishing eliminates stains, leaving teeth shiny and glowing. It also smooths out small imperfections and rough textured areas on your teeth to prevent plaque build-up.
We remind you that dental scaling cannot replace good daily oral hygiene with twice-daily brushing (and fluoride toothpaste!).
