Scaling & Polishing

If you want to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile, scaling and polishing at our dental office is an excellent option. This procedure involves removing plaque, bacteria, and tartar from your teeth and gums, which can help reduce the risk of gum disease and improve your smile’s appearance. Scaling is the first step, where our dentist uses specialized instruments to eliminate any buildup. This step reduces the risk of gum disease and improves the appearance of your teeth. After scaling, the polishing phase begins. Our dentist will use special tools to smooth the surface of your teeth, eliminating any remaining plaque and reducing the risk of tooth decay.

Our dentist can complete scaling and polishing in a single visit, and the process typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the severity of buildup. During the procedure, our dentist may administer a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. After completion, we recommend regular dental cleanings every three to six months to maintain your oral health. If you’re interested in improving your smile and oral health, contact our dental office to schedule a scaling and polishing appointment.
