A Cleaner, Healthier Mouth With a Scale & Polish
Professional dental cleaning removes the hardened tartar and plaque that brushing can't reach, then polishes your teeth smooth and bright. It's the single most effective way to prevent gum disease and decay — and to keep your smile fresh.
The Clean Brushing Can't Achieve
A scale and polish is a professional dental cleaning. Even with great brushing, plaque hardens over time into tartar (calculus) — a rough deposit that can't be removed at home and that fuels gum disease and decay. Scaling gently removes this build-up from the teeth and along the gum line using ultrasonic and hand instruments.
The polish that follows smooths and cleans the tooth surfaces, removing surface stains from tea, coffee and smoking, and making it harder for new plaque to stick. Done every six months for most people, it's the cornerstone of preventive dentistry — protecting your teeth and gums, freshening breath, and catching problems early. It cleans and brightens by removing stains, but it isn't a whitening treatment.
- Visible tartar build-up or staining on the teeth
- Gums that bleed when brushing, or bad breath
- It's been more than six months since your last cleaning
- Wanting to keep teeth and gums healthy and prevent problems

Common Questions About Dental Cleaning
The questions asked most often before treatment.
For most people, every six months is ideal. If you're prone to gum disease, smoke, or build up tartar quickly, we may recommend every 3–4 months. We'll suggest the right interval for you based on your oral health at each visit.
It's generally painless and comfortable. You'll feel the vibration and water of the ultrasonic scaler and some pressure during cleaning. If your gums are inflamed or your teeth sensitive, there may be brief mild discomfort — let us know and we'll keep you comfortable, using numbing if needed.
No. A scale and polish cleans your teeth and removes surface stains, so they often look brighter — but it doesn't change the natural colour of the teeth. To lighten the actual tooth shade you'd need a professional whitening treatment, which is a separate procedure.
Plaque that isn't brushed away hardens into tartar, which bonds firmly to the tooth and sits below the gum line. Home brushing and flossing can't remove it — only professional instruments can. That's why regular professional cleaning is essential, even with excellent home care.
Yes, definitely. Bleeding gums are usually an early sign of gum inflammation caused by plaque and tartar. A professional clean removes the cause, and the bleeding typically improves within days. It also lets us check whether you need any further gum treatment.
Some people notice mild, short-lived sensitivity for a day or two after cleaning, especially if a lot of tartar was removed or gums were inflamed. This settles quickly. Using a sensitivity toothpaste helps, and healthier gums actually reduce sensitivity over time.
A routine scale and polish is an affordable, fixed-cost procedure. If more extensive cleaning or gum treatment is needed, we'll explain why and provide a clear quote first. There are no hidden fees.
