Cleaning & scaling
Professional cleaning removes the hard tartar that brushing cannot. It is the simplest way to stop bleeding gums and bad breath.
Is this for you?
- Bleeding or swollen gums

How it works
- 1
Check
A quick look at gum health and pockets.

Scaling
Ultrasonic cleaning removes tartar above and just below the gum line.

Polish
Polishing smooths the surface so stains come back slower.
Questions
Does scaling weaken teeth?
No. It removes deposits only; enamel is untouched. Mild sensitivity for a day or two is normal.
How often?
Every 6 months for most people; every 3–4 months if you have gum disease.
