Scaling and polishing is a professional teeth cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from your teeth. It is essential for preventing gum disease and maintaining oral health.
What is Scaling?
Scaling removes hardened plaque (tartar) from tooth surfaces, especially below the gumline. We use ultrasonic scalers for a comfortable and efficient cleaning experience.
What is Polishing?
Polishing removes surface stains and plaque, leaving your teeth smooth, shiny, and clean. It also makes it harder for plaque to stick to teeth in the future.
