Treatment Overview
Professional teeth cleaning, or dental prophylaxis, is a foundational treatment in preventive dentistry. It involves the meticulous removal of dental plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains that accumulate on your teeth over time. Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be safely removed by a dental professional. Our premium cleaning therapy is designed to preserve your gum health, prevent cavities, and ensure a refreshing, clean feeling.
Key Benefits of Treatment
- Removes stubborn tartar that normal brushing misses
- Prevents periodontal (gum) disease and tooth loss
- Brightens teeth and removes coffee, tea, or tobacco stains
- Eliminates chronic bad breath (halitosis)
- Early detection of potential dental issues during the checkup
Step-by-Step Procedure
Oral Examination
Our dental hygienist conducts a comprehensive visual exam to assess your teeth and gums for signs of gingivitis or other concerns.
Plaque & Tartar Removal
Using specialized ultrasonic scaling tools and manual instruments, we gently remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.
Gritty Toothpaste Polish
After scaling, your teeth are polished with a high-powered electric brush and a premium prophylaxis paste to remove surface stains.
Professional Flossing
An expert flossing session removes any remaining plaque or paste from deep between your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
A varnished fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen your enamel and protect against decay for several months.

Recovery & Aftercare Guidelines
There is no downtime required for professional teeth cleaning. Some patients with sensitive gums may experience mild tenderness or sensitivity to hot and cold for 24-48 hours. We recommend avoiding highly staining foods (like coffee, red wine, or berries) for at least 2 hours following the scaling and polishing treatment to allow the enamel pores to settle.
