Keep Your Smile Healthy with Regular Scale and Clean Treatments
A professional scale and clean is one of the most effective ways to maintain your oral health. Over time, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, even with good brushing and flossing habits. Regular scale and clean appointments help remove this build-up, preventing issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. Our team is dedicated to providing thorough, gentle cleanings that leave your teeth looking and feeling their best.
A scale and clean involves removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, particularly in hard-to-reach areas like around the gum line. During this treatment, we use specialised tools to scale away hardened deposits and then polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give your smile a fresh, smooth finish. This treatment not only improves the appearance of your teeth but also supports your overall gum health.
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. When left untreated, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed with professional tools. Tartar build-up can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues. Regular scale and clean appointments help prevent these problems by keeping your teeth free of harmful build-up, protecting both your teeth and gums.

During your scale and clean appointment, we’ll start by thoroughly examining your mouth to assess your oral health. We’ll then use scaling tools to remove tartar and plaque from your teeth and around the gum line. Once the cleaning is complete, we’ll polish your teeth to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean. The procedure is comfortable and typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
Caring for Your Teeth Between Visits
To maintain the results of your scale and clean, it’s important to continue practicing good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and avoiding sugary or acidic foods that can contribute to plaque build-up. Our team will provide you with personalised tips on how to care for your teeth and gums between visits, helping you keep your smile in great shape.
Cost of Scale and Clean
The cost of a scale and clean varies depending on the condition of your teeth and the extent of the treatment required. We will always provide a detailed quote before proceeding, outlining the total cost, your insurance rebate, and the gap you will need to pay. Regular scale and clean appointments are a valuable investment in your long-term oral health, helping you avoid more costly treatments down the road. Please contact us regarding cost.
