What to Expect From a Scale and Polish

Assessment of Gum Health
We begin every treatment by carefully examining your gums and teeth, looking for signs of gum disease or areas that might need extra attention. You'll get clear, professional advice tailored to your needs, ensuring you get the best care right from the start.

Ultrasonic and Hand-Scaling
Using gentle ultrasonic tools, we break down and remove both soft and hard deposits of plaque and tartar. For tougher spots, we finish with precise hand-scaling. This step is crucial for preventing gum disease and maintaining optimal oral hygiene.

Polishing for a Clean Finish
Next, we use advanced polishing techniques to smooth your teeth. This doesn't just enhance your smile's appearance but also reduces the risk of new plaque sticking to tooth surfaces. If you have stubborn stains, ask us about our specialised teeth stain removal.

Personalised Home Care Advice
After your treatment, we provide practical and easy-to-follow guidance for your home care routine, ensuring long-lasting results from your professional teeth cleaning and helping you keep your smile in top condition until your next visit.
We focus on making your visit comfortable and positive, with a gentle approach that puts your wellbeing first.
