Scale and Clean Service by Our Experts in Perth

We emphasise the importance of regular scale and clean appointments to maintain oral health. Plaque and tartar buildup are major contributors to tooth decay, even more so than sugary foods and drinks. Our affordable and high-quality scale and clean service ensures that these harmful deposits are effectively removed by our dental professionals, helping to preserve your teeth and prevent dental problems.

What is a Scale and Clean?

Despite regular brushing and flossing, plaque and calculus may build up on your teeth and demand professional cleaning. A scale and clean is a dental procedure performed by a dentist to thoroughly clean and polish your teeth. During this procedure, plaque (a sticky film of bacteria), calculus (hardened plaque), and stains from substances like tea, coffee, and red wine are removed. This not only helps maintain the optimal appearance and feel of your teeth but also plays a critical role in preventing gum disease and other oral health issues.

Scale and Clean with Ultrasonic Scaler

During your scale and clean appointment, our dentist uses an ultrasonic cleaning device to gently vibrate and loosen larger areas of calculus around your gum line. Water is sprayed to rinse away any debris effectively.

Next, our dentist works around each tooth using a pick and scaler tool to remove any remaining calculus deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces.

We may use air abrasion, which involves a jet of compressed air, to treat small areas of decay or heavy staining.

Afterwards, your teeth are polished to give them a smooth and shiny finish.

Dental cleaning should be comfortable if you generally have healthy teeth and gums. However, we can administer a local anaesthetic to ensure comfort if you have sensitive teeth.
