What is Professional Teeth Cleaning and Why is it Essential?

A routine dental check-up, or examination, is a professional assessment of your entire oral health system. It’s the single most important step you can take to prevent common issues like cavities and gum disease before they become complex and costly problems.

By visiting us regularly, you allow our expert team to spot early warning signs you can’t see or feel, ensuring your smile stays healthy, functional, and beautiful for years to come.

Our Advanced Cleaning Services: From Standard to Superior

Ultrasonic Scaling & Polishing (The Standard)

This is our comprehensive standard cleaning process.

  • What it is: We use a sophisticated ultrasonic scaler that vibrates at a high frequency, using water to gently and effectively break down and wash away hardened tartar deposits from your teeth and just below the gumline. This is followed by fine hand-scaling for detailed cleaning.
  • The Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth with a special paste to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that makes it harder for plaque to stick.

Airflow Prophylaxis (The Ultimate Air Polishing Experience)

For the most effective stain removal and a truly superior clean, we offer Airflow Prophylaxis.

  • What it is: This advanced system uses a controlled stream of fine powder, compressed air, and warm water to gently polish the teeth. It is exceptionally effective at removing stubborn stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking.

Key Benefits:

  • Removes Stains More Effectively: Reaches into every nook and cranny for a brighter result.
  • Incredibly Gentle: Ideal for patients with sensitive teeth, as there is no scraping and minimal direct contact.
  • Cleans Hard-to-Reach Areas: Perfect for cleaning around braces, implants, and bridges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between this and just brushing my teeth well?

Brushing removes daily plaque, but it cannot remove tartar (hardened plaque). Only professional scaling can remove tartar. Furthermore, our tools clean below the gumline where toothbrushes can’t reach, which is critical for preventing gum disease.

For patients who have significant staining or sensitive teeth, Airflow is a superior option. It provides a more comfortable and noticeably brighter result than standard polishing. We can help you decide which is best for you.
