Scaling & Polishing – Deep Cleaning for a Healthy, Radiant Smile
What Is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling is the process of deep cleaning your teeth and gum line using advanced ultrasonic tools that gently remove hardened tartar (calculus) and bacterial deposits.
Polishing follows the scaling step — it smooths and shines your tooth surfaces using a fine, flavored paste, removing minor stains from coffee, tea, or smoking, leaving your mouth fresh and sparkling clean.
Together, these steps not only make your smile brighter but also prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

A soft rubber cup and polishing paste are used to remove surface stains, giving your teeth a smooth, glossy finish.Fluoride or Desensitizing Application (Optional):

Ideally every 6 months, or more frequently if you have gum disease or heavy tartar buildup.
