Polishes teeth for a brighter smile: The cleaning process includes polishing to remove surface stains, leaving you with a visibly brighter and more confident smile.
Reduces the risk of tooth decay and cavities: By thoroughly removing plaque, a scale and clean reduces bacteria, helping prevent cavities and tooth decay in hard-to-reach areas.

Ultrasonic scaling to remove hardened tartar and plaque: An ultrasonic scaler is used to break down and remove plaque and tartar without damaging the tooth surface.
Manual scaling for precision cleaning in hard-to-reach spots: Hand tools target areas between teeth and along the gumline, ensuring thorough plaque removal.
Polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and remove stains: After scaling, a polishing paste is applied to make teeth smooth and remove surface stains for a cleaner look.
