    What is Dental Scaling & Polishing?

    Scaling is the process of removing plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. Over time, even with regular brushing, tartar can build up in areas that are hard to reach. If left untreated, this buildup can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and other oral health issues.

    Using specialized tools, our dental hygienists gently and thoroughly clean your teeth, focusing on areas where plaque tends to accumulate.

    After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and make them feel smooth and shiny. Polishing not only improves the appearance of your teeth but also makes it more difficult for plaque to stick to them in the future.

    We use a gentle rotary brush and a special paste to buff away minor discoloration and give your smile a clean, fresh look.
