Scaling & Polishing

Scaling & Polishing

Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. At One Dental Place, we offer professional scaling and polishing to keep your teeth and gums healthy, fresh, and stain-free. This simple yet essential dental procedure is the foundation of preventive oral care.

What is Scaling?

Scaling is a deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and harmful bacteria from the tooth surface—especially around and below the gum line. These deposits, if left untreated, can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss.

Using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, Dr. Harshvardhan J gently cleans each tooth to ensure your mouth is free from harmful buildup. The procedure is painless and helps prevent gingivitis and other periodontal issues.

What is Polishing?

After scaling, polishing is performed to smooth the tooth surface and remove minor stains caused by tea, coffee, smoking, or daily wear. It leaves your teeth feeling clean, glossy, and fresh, giving your smile a noticeable boost in appearance and cleanliness.

Benefits of Scaling & Polishing:

  • Prevents gum disease and tooth decay

  • Removes stubborn plaque and tartar

  • Eliminates bad breath (halitosis)

  • Brightens teeth by removing surface stains

  • Enhances overall oral hygiene and freshness

How Often Should You Get It Done?

We recommend professional scaling and polishing every 6 months, or more frequently if you are prone to plaque buildup, have braces, or are managing gum issues.

At One Dental Place, we make preventive care comfortable, affordable, and personalized. Book your appointment today to enjoy a cleaner, healthier, and more confident smile.
