Here's what you'll get:
Scaling
Removes plaque and tartar build-up from the tooth surface, including areas below the gumline that brushing can’t reach. Helps prevent gum disease and cavities.
Polishing
Smooths the tooth surface after scaling, removing surface stains and making it harder for plaque to stick. Leaves teeth feeling clean and helps maintain long-term dental health.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride Treatment strengthens your teeth and helps protect them from cavities. By applying fluoride, a natural mineral, to your teeth, we enhance the enamel’s resistance to acid attacks from bacteria and food. This treatment is a simple yet effective way to reduce the risk of tooth decay and maintain a healthy smile.

1. Consultation

Frequently Asked
Questions
A standard scaling and polishing session usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes at the dental clinic, depending on how much plaque and tartar has built up along your teeth and gum line.
Patients with heavier tartar deposits or gum inflammation may need a longer appointment, or a follow-up visit to complete the cleaning thoroughly, as assessed by your dentist.
Yes, teeth scaling and polishing is a safe, routine dental hygiene procedure performed by a licensed dentist or dental hygienist using ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove plaque and tartar.
Some patients may experience mild gum sensitivity or minor bleeding shortly after the procedure, especially if gums are inflamed, but this typically settles within a day or two.
Scaling and polishing removes surface stains caused by plaque, tartar, coffee, tea, and smoking, which can make your teeth appear brighter and cleaner than before treatment.
It does not change the natural shade of your teeth and is not a substitute for teeth whitening. Its main purpose is to support gum health and help prevent gum disease and bad breath.
Dental professionals generally recommend scaling and polishing once every six months as part of routine dental care, to help prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
Your dentist may suggest a different frequency depending on your oral hygiene, gum condition, or tendency for tartar buildup, and regular brushing and flossing at home also helps maintain results between visits.
