Professional teeth cleaning is a core part of preventive care at Smile On Clinics. Scale and polish appointments remove plaque and tartar and help you stay on top of oral health alongside good home habits.
Our clinics across Australia offer professional cleans as part of routine check-ups or as standalone visits tailored to what your teeth and gums need.
Plaque builds up in hard-to-reach areas and hardens into tartar that brushing cannot remove. A scale and clean carefully removes buildup from teeth and the gumline, usually followed by a polish for a smooth, fresh feel.
Plaque along the gumline can cause inflammation (gingivitis) and, if untreated, periodontitis. Routine professional cleans keep buildup under control and let clinicians spot early gum problems.
Your clinician examines teeth and gums and tailors the clean to your needs. X-rays may be taken if due.
Hand instruments and, where appropriate, ultrasonic scalers remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.
Teeth are polished to smooth surfaces and remove remaining light staining, making it harder for plaque to stick.
Your clinician shares practical tips for brushing, flossing, and interdental care at home.
