What is a Dental Cleaning?
A dental cleaning, also known as oral prophylaxis, is a fundamental preventive dental procedure designed to maintain optimal oral health. This professional treatment involves the thorough removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from your teeth using specialized dental instruments.
The Gentle, Multi-Step Process
Step 1: Ultrasonic Scaling
The cleaning process begins with an ultrasonic device that emits gentle vibrations while being cooled by water. This advanced technology effectively loosens larger pieces of tartar buildup without causing any harm to your teeth .
Step 2: Manual Scaling
Following the ultrasonic treatment, our dental professionals use precision hand tools to manually remove smaller deposits that may remain. This meticulous approach ensures that even the most stubborn plaque and tartar are completely eliminated .
Step 3: Smoothing and Polishing
After all tartar and plaque have been removed from the tooth surfaces, your teeth are carefully smoothed and polished to complete the cleaning process. This final step leaves your teeth feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed .
Why Choose Professional Cleaning?
