Scaling & polishing · 30–45 min
Professional cleaning
Removes the hardened deposits (tartar) that brushing cannot, from around and just under the gum line.
What to expect
- A quick check of gums and teeth, with charting if needed.
- Ultrasonic scaling — a vibrating tip and a water spray loosen the tartar.
- Polishing to smooth the surfaces so plaque sticks less.
- Brushing and flossing tips for the spots that were missed.
Some sensitivity for a day or two is common. Deeper gum treatment, if needed, is planned and priced separately — consult the dentist.
