Professional Teeth Cleaning

At DSA Dental Smile Art, our teeth cleaning service gives you healthy, bright teeth. Teeth cleaning is a professional procedure, done regularly, that removes plaque and tartar, improves gum health and maintains overall oral hygiene. Regular cleaning plays a big role in preventing decay and gum disease.

For Healthy, Bright Teeth

Tartar is bacterial plaque that hardens over time and cannot be removed by brushing. It is the most common cause of gum inflammation, bleeding and bad breath; if left untreated it can lead to gum recession and bone loss.

What does professional teeth cleaning include?

  • Scaling: removing tartar from the tooth surface and below the gum line with ultrasonic instruments
  • Polishing: making the teeth smooth and shiny so plaque finds it harder to stick
  • Stain removal: reducing tea, coffee and smoking stains
  • Oral hygiene advice: correct brushing, flossing and interdental brush use

Teeth cleaning is not whitening; it reveals the natural colour of your teeth. If you want a lighter shade, teeth whitening can be done after cleaning. If the gum pockets have deepened, gum treatment may be needed.

Free examination: the first examination, panoramic X-ray and, where needed, a 3D CT scan are free at our clinic. Your treatment plan and timeline are given to you in writing after the examination.

Why Have Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned?

  • Plaque and tartar removal: professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar, preventing decay and gum disease.
  • Healthier gums: cleaning the gum pockets improves gum health and lowers the risk of gum disease.
  • Better oral hygiene: regular cleaning helps maintain oral hygiene and prevents bad breath.
  • Bright, clean teeth: cleaning polishes your teeth and brings back their natural brightness for an attractive smile.

TREATMENT PROCESS

Teeth Cleaning Step by Step

Initial Assessment and Planning
At the first examination, your dentist assesses your teeth and gums, identifies their condition and creates a cleaning plan for you.
Removing Plaque and Tartar
Plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth are removed with special instruments. This is essential for preventing decay and gum disease.
Cleaning the Gum Pockets
Bacteria and plaque in the gum pockets are cleaned out. This improves gum health and lowers the risk of gum disease.
Polishing the Teeth
Your teeth are polished with special pastes and instruments, bringing back their natural brightness for an attractive smile.
Regular Check-ups
Regular dental check-ups keep your teeth and gums healthy and help catch any problems early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does scaling damage the teeth?
No. When done correctly it does not harm the enamel; on the contrary, it prevents gum disease and tooth loss.
How long does teeth cleaning take?
Usually 30–60 minutes, in a single session.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
Usually every 6 months. More frequent cleaning may be recommended if tartar builds up quickly or you have gum disease.
Does teeth cleaning hurt?
For most people it is painless. Sensitive teeth may twinge slightly; a local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
My gums bled after cleaning. Is that normal?
Inflamed gums may bleed slightly for the first few days; this settles within a few days with regular brushing.
Does teeth cleaning whiten the teeth?
Because it removes stains and tartar, teeth look lighter, but it does not change their natural colour. That needs whitening.
Can I have my teeth cleaned while pregnant?
Yes. Gum inflammation is common in pregnancy, so cleaning is recommended, especially in the second trimester.
Do I have to pay for the examination?
No. The first examination at our clinic is free.
